It has always been my favorite technical magazine because of it's diversity of topics and brain-stirring articles. I got a letter in the mail last week saying that they were ceasing production of the full magazine. Instead, they will offer a Dr. Dobb's Report stuffed into issues of InformationWeek. I'll have to spend more time on their web site, as it looks like they have some good content on there.

They have one multipurpose hole for pee, poo, sex, and birth. Here's the detailed explanation.
