It seems to me that most of the free books mentioned on this thread are sci-fi, and popular fiction. It is by virtue of this fact that these dispersion methods for books have not caught on more. The more popular the book, the more likely one is to charge for it. Perhaps we ought to start organizing things in the public domain, and things like classics, technical works, etc, that are more likely to be thought of as "free". Make these books accessible, and create a good interface, to show proof of concept in terms of readers and the bigger guys may come around, at least to publishing on and off-line works (the online versions being free or very cheap). Here are my links to some stellar classics archives. Aside from some of the more obscure math and science works, I believe my whole school's curriculum is available for free on the web:

Enjoy these free reads. They are the greatest books ever written.

"Cannot" is such an ugly word. How about, "Americans are unable to speak or write in English." The argument of or and nor is a trickier one.

Maybe I should make that a link, heh:

Care to read it?

No - its moot. The point is not without speech, it is without relevance.

I hope this was in jest since a simple look up returns chapter and verse Ecc 3:8.

If so sorry for no being earnest, but given many peoples inability to identify what is and isn't actually said in the Bible (see the section What American's Believe") I think I'd like to clear things up for accuracy's sake.

Author: Sinclair Lewis. Title: "Babbitt" Published: 1922. Specifically: NEW YORK: HARCOURT, BRACE & CO., 1922 NEW YORK: BARTLEBY.COM, 1999

Description:

The novel behind the name, Babbitt is Sinclair Lewis's classic commentary on middle-class society. George Follanbee Babbitt has acquired everything required to fit neatly into the mold of social expectation, except total comfort with it. Distracted by the feeling that there must be more, Babbitt starts pushing limits, with many surprising results.

From what I can tell, 'Zilla' is the first name of one of the female characters.

I know this is off-topic, but your sig is inaccurate. The actual quote is 'They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.' Quite a different sentiment. Sorry to hijack your thread.

Can you say quid pro quo?

William Strunk, Jr. would claw the lid of his coffin were he to read this thread.

You should try reading the definition before makeing such a brash pronouncement. The word actually fits where it was used. In case you're interested, The definition is here. Some of us actually enjoy the English language as it was meant to be spoken; not just as monosylabic sound bites.

Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime;
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles, this thy golden time.

You can read brief reviews here and here, and of course, from here.

There are also:

• Lord of the Flies , William Golding
• Animal Farm , Orwell
• "The Waste Land", T.S. Eliot (a poem, but dystopian in a similar vein)

Isn't it accepted that it rhymes with either room or dumb? I have no doubt that there are professors who try to push the former to disassociate it with it's triple X relative.

However, there is no literal translation of cum because of differences in the languages (i.e. I don't believe that you could say that it maps to a single English word), but rather the usage defines the definition. i.e. In combinations it means "together with", sort of a "acting as".

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." -- Wendell Phillips (1811-1884), abolitionist, orator and columnist for The Liberator, paraphrasing John Philpot Curran

I guess we're all either slaves to another, or slaves to our own libery. I'll leave the choice up to you.

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
but I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

I modded this post down. Blatant plagarism, as others in this thread have stated, - no reference to source (copyright notice clearly stated at the bottom of that page).

You know, there's a great story about Richard Fenynman using 'layman's terms'. I've heard slightly different versions, but for the most part, the story appears to be true.

When RF won his Nobel prize in Physics for Quantum Electrodynamics, the story goes that he was approached by a reporter who asked him to explain "in layman's terms" what his work was about.

Feynman's response? Something like, "Well, if i could explain it to you in layman's terms, it wouldn't have been worth the Nobel prize."

Classic.

Bush wants to turn our beautiful oceans into a sterile, corrosive acid bath.

Pure insanity!

If you don't understand either one, take a look
here:

I just find it funny.. the US must have sold them the planes in the first place.. and now that Iran falls into an area under the Axis Of Evil moniker, its suddenly a serious problem that they try and obtain parts? Perhaps you should have thought of that...

I hate to have to bring up actual history, but you do realize there was some revolution thingy between us selling the planes to the Iran and them currently seeking parts for them?

No shit - look it up. Or maybe the 1979 Iranian Embassy Hostage Crisis rings a bell? You know, 1.5 years of American hostages, rescue mission gone horribly awry?

(or is it here here? I've never seen it explained.)
It's hear, hear. The American Heritage Dictionary has the phrase under "hear". It's like saying "I hear you talking!"

IIRC, the actual sentence is along the lines of, "If you would destroy liberty, first kill all the lawyers."

I can't find the source for that quotation, although I remember it. I think it was around the time of the American revolution or later.

Shakespeare was definitely first with "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers", in Henry V, I can't remember if it was Part I or Part II, and Bartlett's wasn't specific enough. Note that Shakespeare definitely did not present it as a good idea, but rather as the ranting of an irresponsible revolutionary. Still, it's the one revolutionary idea that's remained competitive with "kill the rich and steal their stuff" over the years, and that seems to say something about lawyers...

Yes, in truth liberty cannot survive without the law, and since it's impossible for everyone to both study the law and possess the verbal abilities required to present a case in court, we need lawyers. The problem is that they have long dominated government to the point where they have made themselves indispensable rather than useful, by creating laws so convoluted that no normal person can understand them, by twisting the language until in court things don't mean what they say, etc. Maybe we ought to just hang all the politician-lawyers!

Or, I'd settle for hanging every congressman with a law degree that proposed an unconstitutional law. They damn well ought to know better.

How about superfuidity?

Seriously, that is one of the coolest and creepiest things at the same time, watching liquid helium crawl UP and spill out of a container. Granted liquid helium is rather expensive it is something which should really get the little buggers thinking and doing some research.

American usage does NOT allow inconsistency. Your example ("IBM has ...; they have ...") is gramatically incorrect in America and any other English-speaking country. Just because some people talk or write inconsistently doesn't make it gramatically correct. Even William Safire (or his editor, if he has one) makes mistakes.

In addition, it is untrue that "companies are people in America." Companies, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, trusts, banks, charities, fraternal organizations, etc. are fictitious entities that have been accorded legal standing, first by judges, then by statutes. IBM is not a person, it is a thing. Unlike cats and dogs, which are also not people, IBM does not have a gender or a sex.

Although it does not address this particular topic, you might want to refer to Strunk's The Elements of Style.

Peter Principle

The theory that employees within an organization will advance to their highest level of competence and then be promoted to and remain at a level at which they are incompetent.

Essentially, the "no split infinitives" rule is just an attempt by some to impose Latin rules on English.

Come on Aaaaaron (in your average dictionary proper names are not to be found)

I don't know who you're refering to, but my name (Aaron) appears in most dictionaries. It's a biblical name (that my mother chose for secular reasons, not that it matters), so the reference is almost always listed. Aaron was the grandfather of Eli, and the brother of Moses and the first high-priest of the Hebrew nation.

you will find several references to it in on-line dictionaries as well....

If you can't be bothered to check even a fact that exists at the very beginning of your dictionary, this conversation is really not worth having.

Another third-grade grammar rule is to put a hyphen between "third" and "grade" in this case. From The American Heritage® Book of English Usage : "Numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine and adjective compounds with a numerical first element (whether spelled out or written in figures) are hyphenated: twenty-one, thirty-first, second-rate movie, third-story window, three-dimensional figure, six-sided polygon, ten-thousand-year-old bones, 13-piece band, 19th-century novel, decades-old newspapers."

There is such a thing, it is called a Zip Gun

Of course, Campbell drew on Robert Graves, who himself drew on Sir James Frazer and W.B. Yeats and so on...

Campbell, Graves as well as very many other mythographers before them recognised that, in Graves' words, "There was one story, and one story only". The study of myth is often just an attempt to relocate its sources. These sources aren't only in literature. They're in all manner of unexplainable things: nature, science, psychology, dream, etc. They all fuel our imaginations and, given that we've not really changed that much over time (we're just a bit better at explaining things and hence, behaving 'rationaly').

One great appeal of the original Star Wars trilogy is that was so faithful to the pattern of proto-myths described by Campbell, Graves and others. The Phantom Menace though, seems more concerned with being faithful to the orginal trilogy than any of the more unversal mythological legends. It's probably why they feel more shallow, more commercial and less about those things that matter to all of us.

No big loss though. The eye candy is great. Most of us will enjoy it. There will be other story tellers who will captivate us with wickedly spun tales.

I'm part of the funny generation that grew up during that time, and many of us just assumed that there would be a nuclear holocaust that would probably kill us. I know many kids who completely neglected school because they just assumed that they would never live to adulthood.

And you missed Ronald Reagan, who in the depths of the cold war came up with brilliant "jokes" like this:

My fellow Americans: I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.

Let me assure you, this year 2002 is a picnic compared to the early 1980s.

The unit, since it is not a legal person, could not make such a contract, someone who is part of that unit would have to make such a contract on the unit's behalf, and thus they would be personally responsible for said contract. You'll have a hard time finding people to take on that roll, i.e. to take full liability for billions of dollars in possible damages.

Nonsense. That's like saying you can't have a contract with more than two signatories. If I can sign a contract that obliges me to do certain things, and Jane and I can sign a contract that obliges the two of us to do certain things, then Jane and I can sign a contract with Doug that obliges us to abide by any contract he signs on our behalf, within certain restrictions. Doug can then go to Bob, show him the contract he's signed with Jane and I, and sign a contract with Bob under which Bob can have a reasonable expectation that Jane and I will do certain things. The contract Jane and I sign with Doug specifies that he can't commit our resources beyond a certain amount; the contract Bob signs with Doug specifies that Jane and I, not Doug, are liable for damages relating to the contract, and waives Bob's right to anything over and above the amount our contract with Doug specifies that he can commit.

This is an oversimplification, but it basically works. There's nothing magical about it, except the concept of contracts. (Whether you can enforce contracts without a gvoernment is an anarcho-capitalist debate that I don't want to get into -- my point is that in theory you don't need governments to have corporations, just contracts.)

I believe in the inalienable right to intellectual property. I do not believe in the inalienable right to exclusively own intellectual property. By this I mean: I believe that everyone can think whatever thoughts they want... can know anything they can legitimately find out...

That's not a right; that really is a law of nature, as long as there's no technology that allows someone else to prevent you from thinking something or take away your knowledge of it. And it's not property either. Property is by definition exclusive. The fundamental characteristic of a property right is that it allows you to exclude others from use of that property.

Now, physical property is unfortunately exclusive by its nature. We both can't usefully own the same pair of shoes. However, this exclusivity is not a right, but an unfortunate aspect of the nature of physical objects.

True. However, I would contend that the extension of that property of physical objects to a right of control over those shoes even when you're not wearing them is artificial. Even one person cannot usefully wear more than one set of shoes. Your right to exclude me from wearing your brown shoes while you're wearing your black shoes is artificial.

If you're not trolling you really need to read more. Noone ever meant that an inalienable right is one that cannot be taken away from a man. It merely means a right which must not be taken away from him. Do you think that people who talk about inalienable rights never heard of slavery, or prison, or even a set of handcuffs?

I wonder if these legal types are ever going to actually blame this on the actual people who are sharing

By the way, just what in the hell is a "natural right"?

Get an education. If you grew in the U.S.A. you need to go back to grade school and enroll in a Social Studies class.

Can someone please inform the more ignorant of us what a "natural right" is and give some concrete examples so we know that you're not just blowing smoke up our asses?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Sorry for the flame but you really are ignorant. The entire Bill of Rights (BoR) is based on the idea of natural rights. The BoR takes the idea of natural rights and codifies for practical use in a society.

See also:

• The Rights of the Colonists, Samuel Adams
• natural rights,The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.2001.

There are innumerable variations of this quote, which is attributed to Lenin.

• When it comes time to hang the capitalists they will compete with each other to sell us the rope at a lower price.
• The capitalists will sell us the rope by which we hang them
• Greedy capitalists will sell us the rope by which we will hang them
• If we were to announce today that we intend to hang all capitalists tomorrow, they would trip over each other trying to sell us the rope.
• When Communism finally hangs Capitalism, a Capitalist will sell us the rope
• A capitalist would sell the rope to his own hangman."
• Western business men will sell us the rope with which to hang them.

Unfortunately, no source for these quotations has ever been found in Lenin's collected works.

It may have been fabricated originally by the John Birch Society 40 years ago as part of their anti-Communist propaganda.

Curiously, Lenin actually said some things the John Birch Society might agree with: "While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State."
