Is there an MSDN subsriction plan that includes the printed version of the MSDN magazine for european (german) customers?
Doesn't a MSDN subscription come with free MSDN magazine subscription, delivery fee notwithstanding? I'm residing in Singapore and is subscribed to MSDN via the BizSpark program, and only needs to pay USD$25 for delivery. The magazine itself is free.
From Microsofts MSDN Subscription Benefits site:
Published monthly, MSDN Magazine is available free to subscribers in North America, and for a small postage and handling fee worldwide.
So there you have it. It is free for North America and you have to pay postage for everywhere else.
(From UK.)
Simple answer: NO.
Occasionally there are offers, a few years back I got an extra 12 months on my magazine subscription --- likely helped by having both MSDN and Magazine from the same reseller.

I'm using Scopus API to extract information about academic papers. However, it's showing something very strange. According to Scopus, many articles are published in the future → see the screenshot. The example shown here was actually published on 5.01.18 according to Springer. Is this an error/bug or have I misunderstood something?
The article was brought online on January 5th 2018 as shown in your Springer link.
But it will be officially published in Journal of Economic Structures 7:1, which will be published in December 2018.
I just started developing an Intuit App yesterday and was really getting going on integrating with QuickBooks Desktop. Then today I logged in to continue work and was greeted by several missing pages on Intuit's IPP site and a link that says "Deprecated QBO V2 and QBD V2,V3". The only API that appears to not be deprecated is QBO V3.
I cannot find any announcement from Intuit about any upcoming deprecation. Does anybody have any info on whether I am safe to continue developing my app to connect to QBD or do I need to talk to our accountant to move over to QBO instead?
EDIT: I have marked Jarred's answer as the accepted answer because he associated with Intuit and answers my specific situation. Also check Charlie's answer for additional details specific to other scenarios.
I interviewed several people from Intuit at the Sleeter Accounting Solutions Conference this week, including (amongst others) Dan Wernikoff, Senior VP.
I'll have an article in my blog on this (http://www.sleeter.com/blog/) next week - I'm transcribing my recordings and clarifying points.
There are a LOT of points here, but to address what you are looking at -
If you are writing an IPP app using V3 for QBO - no problem (and in fact, some good news there).
If you are already published with IPP using V3 and Sync Manager for the Desktop, you will get continued support but don't expect any advancement there (unless you are someone big like American Express).
If you are NOT already published with IPP for the Desktop - the SDK is your option.
And there is a lot more info about this coming out
MINOR EDIT AT A LATER DATE: If you have been working with IPP for the desktop you MIGHT get approved to continue - no guarantees on that (but it seems they might be lenient). But In my opinion you can't expect any significant new features (as in, more data access) moving forward unless you are a significant partner with a contract with them (such as, American Express).
Intuit will not prevent you from going live with your application that you have spent the last 6 months working on. We have a set of guidelines for grandfathering in developers who have invested in using the v2 REST API for QuickBooks Desktop.
feel free to contact me directly if you have more questions.
#Charlie if you could correct your statement regarding if you are NOT published then you need to use the QBXML SDK. That is too generic, we will evaluate each developer on a case by case basis.
regards,
Jarred

Note that Dan Wernikoff, Senior VP at Intuit, has been leaving comments in several of my articles in the blog.
Blair, you have a reasonable concern. However, given the REASONS that they made this change, I would SPECULATE that Intuit won't be pulling the SDK. What isn't clear, at this time, is HOW MUCH support they will give the SDK moving forward.
And, as we have seen for several years now, things can change...
In an effort to get music-related events for an app we're building, we've mulled through Myspace's decidedly clunky authentication process and managed to set up a subscription and endpoint.
Using all this fun stuff:
http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=Category:Real_Time_Stream
http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=Stream_Subscription_API
http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=Stream_Subscription_Example_Walkthrough
The Myspace GET request verifies the existence of our subscription. So all we were hoping to do was sit back and wait...
...but even with no query filtering set whatsoever (i.e. we should get EVERYTHING that happens!), we seem to get no data pushed our way.
Most worrisome is that I don't see anyone talking about this on the web anytime recently. Does it still exist? It's still on Myspace's Developer homepage. Did they forget to take it down? Is their sense of self-esteem so low at this point (for obvious reasons) that they've stopped caring about whether their services work?
A boolean answer with conclusive supporting evidence would be most appreciated.
Links to resources and discussions less than a year old would be an awesome bonus.
Myspace has a very inactive MySpace Developer Team News and Announcements that lists various API modules designed to work with the ActivityStrea.ms standard and has a dedicated Activities API webpage with examples.
Once you view that page, you'll see they work within the depreciated OpenSocial API v1 Platform.
In reference to the Stream Subscription method your using, the History Log has the last entry at January 2010. It's safe to say that method has been abandoned. Reference screenshot:
I visited Wikipedia Myspace Page to discover what Developer API is currently used and was greeted with the same outdated information that you already have. The last API used was in 2010.
There still is hope for your goal of getting music related events via a current API method: The above Wikipedia page has a section titled Decline: 2008–present which links to footnote 71 for a January 2012 article: MySpace is Reborn at Panasonic Press Conference, Unleashes Justin Timberlake
That Wikipedia announcement reads:
In January 2012, the company announced at CES that it would introduce MySpace TV with Panasonic.
While Myspace is currently under the radar for developers and your goal is to get Music Related Events (from music artists?) via API, consider using YouTube API that has a powerful search feature to find such events from artists with legitimate YouTube ID's.
If that's not an option perhaps Myspace TV / Panasonic venture will come into fruition soon.
As this is not a happy answer, it's only fitting to Cry Me A River until a new API is realized.
Edit: As your looking for a Boolean Answer, MySpace API is false.
To complement that Boolean state, these other JavaScript values are considered false too: 0 -0 null "" undefined NaN.
WordPress for MySpace API is abandoned with last blog entry April 2010.
The MySpace Stream Subscription API is a component of MySpace RESTful API that is abandoned.
Finally, the MySpace Developer Home Page was last updated on December 2010.
Even to this day, Google Groups for MySpace API has no activity since July 2010.
The above links is Further Evidence that the MySpace API is dead.
MSDN subscriptions give a developer access to Visual Studio 2010 and the latest Microsoft platforms for development and testing access.
The Microsft MSDN subscription whitepaper says that MSDN licenses obtained thru an "Enterprise Agreement" (where a company buys volume named licenses on behalf of many employees) cannot be used after license expiry (i.e. they do not have Perpetual Use Rights).
I would like to know if this is a technical limitation - i.e. the product will not work after the license expires. Or whether Microsoft is relying on the licence owner to simply stop the using the product the day it expires.
(P.S. A moderator closed off this issue when I raised it yesterday saying it had nothing to do with programming. Any one who has ever used an MSDN subscription knows that it has a lot to do with programming. Looking the FAQ page, my question satisfies "software tools commonly used by programmers". My question is relevant to all Microsoft developers.)
The Microsft MSDN subscription whitepaper (Version: August 2011) says:
Generally, MSDN subscriptions that do not provide perpetual use rights
include: MSDN subscriptions purchased through Enterprise Agreement
Subscription, Open Value Subscription, Campus Agreement, or other
“subscription” Volume Licensing programs
The Volume Licensing programs Open Subscription and Open are different.
Volume Licensing Subscriptions are like "renting" the right to use the software.
"The Microsft MSDN subscription whitepaper says that MSDN licenses
obtained thru an "Enterprise Agreement" (where a company buys volume
named licenses on behalf of many employees) cannot be used after
license expiry (i.e. they do not have Perpetual Use Rights). "
True for Enterprise subscription (it's like a lease - none of the licenses under that program are perpetual unless you do a buyout at the end of the term). Not true for the regular Enterprise Agreement. Those licenses are perpetual. You'd lose rights to get further updates or media, but you'd still be able to use what you had during the term of the agreement.
I'm looking to get an MSDN Subscription and I see a number of sites offering 2 year subscriptions versions. Are these sites offering a regular version that I can buy or are they for Software Assurance customers only? I don't want to buy one and find out I cannot activate it because I'm not associated with a company that has SA.
I checked with Microsoft and these subscriptions are genuine.
You may want to check out Microsoft's Empower program for ISVs. I'm not sure if you qualify (I believe you need to be incorporated and developing a commercial product or service), but the cost savings may be worth the hoop jumping. Note that it appears to be ending in May of 2010 (transitioning to another program).
