I'm not sure how many of you are aware of the existence of ebooks and free online texts. The concept is that the copyright has run out on these books, they were never copyrighted, or they have been made available for public consumption. This includes the classics and some more recent books...

Also try project gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/ woops, delayed reaction here :\ sorry for repost. I might make this an official sticky though. Great idea ;)

Here's an article (same edition) on Australian live sheep exports and mulesing: http://www.peta.org/living/at-holiday2004/4-5.pdf (I couldn't find a text version, sorry) I'd be interested to hear what people who actually know what this is about have to say? (It sounds kind of over the top...

Those are some huge numbers :S I have to say it looks more like a business than a nonprofit organisation (like most are..)? Anyway, I thought I'd share this with you: from the PETA Holiday 2004 Animal Times: RIIIGHT. If I did that to my friends they'd walk out on me :p

Had enough flaming here...

Yeah, nobody wants to mess with the white power ranger..

ok, i'm not as experienced as the others :S but having just bought a new computer.. If you plan on taking it anywhere or moving it around yourself make sure it's not TOO heavy. Also non-branded cases won't last as long (supposedly) as other cases.. but then again I forked out $200 for mine :D...

You can get those keyboards that roll up!!

hahaha i used to get that message playing a graphics intensive game with an onboardgfx card.. just *ignore* :D more ram definitely helps, but it may also be your graphics card which needs an upgrade (no idea cause i didnt see ze pics)

pda will be smaller and lighter, will probably last you longer. but smaller may equate to eye strain. . ive never used one :p

I think so. Timbk2 seems to have a big av too lol. My max is 100x300 (widthxheight) .. also I only have paint and microsoft photo editor at work so resizing is painful :p OT, PM me if you have any other Qs :p

So long as your discussion is factional and rational, sure. I enjoy reading this forum since so many different points of view are put forth, but I don't care for obnoxious behaviour .. and I try to ensure that I won't close a thread simply because I don't like the topic of discussion. (Or...

hey, I said vim, not vi :p I like using arrow keys to move around..... Actually I admit I use gvim. No purist here :)

or use vim.. ;)

It crossed the line between rational discussion of a view and an offensive rant against an individual. I don't bring my own political views into context when I'm reading a post which has been reported. The poster should feel free to repost, bringing the guidelines of this forum into...

It's not necessarily the open ports but what services may be running on them.. if you can access a service which has not been shut down then exploits may be run against that service. The reason a particular port may be a danger is because it's commonly used and therefore exploits will be...

*cough* and i thought I was geeky.. although when i thought about that, it reminded me of playing progress quest during database lectures...

They're right, for $450-500 (+ about $100 for other things) you can get a really good 3-4mp camera.. if you want to get a 5MP one go ahead but unless you're going to be taking huge prints I don't see the point paying another $50-100 for that. anyway. Look for size, and comfort - if the...
