  1. E-book Libraries by Feneric · · Score: 1 · on Comparison of Internet Book Databases?

    Don't forget that there are not just libraries of book metadata online, there are libraries of complete books:

    While these libraries are by no means as extensive as something like Amazon, it's nice having the full text of the books themselves.

  2. Re:Stallman was right up to this point ... by GileadGreene · · Score: 2, Informative · on Textbooks With EULAs
    What surprises me most, really, is that I have never come across a repository of free textbooks available in some standard electronic form - say PDF.

    You mean like this, or this? Those are just the two I happen to have bookmarked. I'm pretty sure there're a few more out there. Admittedly, not everything they link to is in PDF format, but a lot of it is.

  3. POTS has battery at the switch by davidwr · · Score: 1 · on New Study Finds VOIP is Getting Better

    "Um, when the power is out, landlines run off batteries too... What, do you think they stick power for every phone in the city on the phone lines?"

    That's exactly how it works in Canada, I assume the USA is similar. The battery is at the telco switch.

  6. Gift horse by rednip · · Score: 1 · on Free Introduction to Networking Book

    I'd hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but my first look at a page was this grafic of the parts of a PC which is (obviously) out of date. It doens't even include an optical drive, or a mouse for that matter.
