In these parts we call 2x4's "studs". My wife goes out at night to get them. I haven't seen much in terms of progress, but with all the banging I hear when she gets back I figure she's building up some big surprise for me, so I don't bother her.
I am a Make subscriber (3 years now), but haven't noticed any additional junk through USPS, couldn't really say about email, though. Who have you seen that they've sold to, is it just anyone who'll pay or something that might be "targeted"? Regardless, if I were to see this, I'd be quick to drop them as well, but the only problem I've had is that they mixed up a gift subscription and my renewal for one issue.
Comparing a periodical published on paper (and also available online) that is available for purchase at most newsstands to another periodical published on paper (and also available online) that is available for purchase at most newsstands is comparing apples and oranges? They're both fruit - I even find them together in that crappy fruit salad that my mother-in-law makes.
My point is simply that a publication _can_ exist by subscription. Though, I do certainly recognize that there are fundamental differences in the content (But, I'm a CRO subscriber!).
I (might?) live in Atlanta, but each month I hire nineteen different homeless people in nineteen different cities and give them each enough money to hire another homeless person that buys one random magazine and an envelope for it. I also give them nineteen different addresses that I have in a one time pad, but only one of those addresses is my neighbor's. When a magazine arrives, I steal it from my neighbor's mailbox, but only after disguising myself as the neighbor's sister. The bulge is hard to hide in a dress, the bums sometimes steal my money, and I never know what magazine I'll get - but damnit if I am going to let anyone target me in an advertisement!!
Oh, and I chose nineteen because it's a prime number, but the government is working to fix that.
tell me about it. those two states receive zero sunlight that, in some impossible future, could be harnassed by any moving object with pv panels. they may as well be california or nevada.
"That number is making lawmakers in some counties jittery about costs. The six companies with contracts to provide interlocks must pay the tab if a judge determines an offender can't. Still, the law requires county officials to make sure the interlocks are installed and to monitor them."
If there is a God/FSM, then he/she/it will see to it that these forced stops only happen in tunnels during rush hour. Oh please, oh please, oh please...
What the fuck?!
"Within five minutes of starting the car, the interlock will order the driver to pull over and restart the car. For longer rides, drivers will be required at random times to stop the car and restart."
Seriously?
So, if the "next civil war... will be about money", doesn't that also indicate that the "have nots" are greedy themselves? Why is greed a negative property only for the "haves"? If the "have nots" win this civil war and end up with everything that the "haves" once had, are the "have nots-become-haves" then greedy? Doesn't the fact that these "have nots" are willing to go to war over money indicate an insatiable desire for the "haves" monies serve as a perfect example of greed?
Another option that may be "in the middle" is Pulse. Far less expensive than a tablet, uses paper, but also records pen strokes and audio for digital archival. Some people at my company use them and the biggest complaint is that the recorded audio is often poor quality. The technology itself is pretty fascinating.
I've been using an HP TX2513 (~$900 in 2008) with OneNote for a couple of years now and it is a great experience. The latest verion of OneNote is, to me, really a requirement for tablet usage. I started with Vista and even then it was a good experience. Windows 7 improves in handwriting recognition and general input with the stylus. I have the notebooks synched with SharePoint for convenience and as a backup. Being able to search against my own handwriting across multiple notebooks is a great feature. In class (graduate studies), I'm able to browse for more information on topics and copy content and URLs directly into the notes. It is also installed as a printer driver, which is great for printing slide presentations and marking on them directly.
For me, the tablet beats paper hands down. Even my professors, after asking questions and me demonstrating how well it works look into purchasing tablets. Though, I do keep a small amount of paper with me in the inevitable case of technical failure (though none to this point) or for some items that we must turn in to the professor.
Yes, some of the templates are almost useless, but I've found success with a few of them. Though I must admit that the development tools for it are quite the headache. Nonetheless, SharePoint really shines with collaboration and integration. Being able to use a (versioned) SharePoint list as a Windows directory is incredibly useful. I recently even helped someone with a project that involved porting an Access database to SharePoint. It was a few clicks and it was finished.

Who do I contact to have someone removed from that list?
You left out - with the GPU frequency scaled up, the magnetic field strength is increased, causing cancer!
Damnit, I wish I was interested in men. I can't speak of the things I'd do to get into that freezer.
I thought that size didn't matter?

and so would you if you had to live with my wife!
Oh shit! I'm screwed if my wife finds out about that McRib a couple of weeks ago!

I hate that fucking slider bullshit.
