But I did find Wired for $3.49/yr (http://www.discountmags.com/product.php?xProd=5) and Popular Science for $4.69/yr (http://www.discountmags.com/product.php?xProd=51). I ordered both. Pretty astonishing deals...

I found it yesterday and it was still live, so gave it a try. Thanks for the tip Alex!
Will look for those deals there on other mags also. Would like to see some deals like Ignatz found.
But beware! I signed up in the past for another cheap subscription (using "Bobmag" as my name to track the junk mail result), and now I get a lot of mail addressed to Bobmag! Not a problem so far for me, and got the subscriptions really cheap, but don't do it if you hate spam and junk mail!

That is why free services like http://jetable.org/ are so neat ;)

Temporary email addresses to catch spam. But I think that Bob is mainly talking about snail mail spam, the original kind. Ads in your mailbox, which is surely how these people make their cash: by selling your mailing address. Ah well, I suppose that in the end it may cost the earth more in paper than it would cost me in cash...

Whoops, I didn't see that Jetable (http://www.jetable.org) has an English page (http://http://www.jetable.org/en/index) too.
