Geek Books as Holiday Gifts
Sybelius writes "Wired News is running a story that recommends a half dozen good books as holiday gifts. It's a much more inspired list than the one recently offered by Amazon. According to the reviewer, the books chosen are ones that 'any techno-loving, systems-tinkering, hardware-hacking person would love, but that even those who can't program the clock on their VCR will find quite readable.' Do Slashdot readers have any other recommendations for titles that fit this requirement?"
Let the flood of amazon.com referrer links begin! :-) -- Gotta love it when people try to make $0.83 off slashdot
Thank you sir. If it weren't for non-readers like yourselves (or "non-gays" from your post) we wouldn't have people to pump our gas, wash our windows, and do other trivial but neccesary jobs. I salute you.
Disconnect and self-destruct, one bullet at a time.
I read about them once, but not sure what they are for....
As it happens, Ash is an enthusiastic quantum-computing amateur ... a retired British physicist who turns out to be more than 4 billion years old ... Ash modifies his quantum computer into a time machine and teleportation device.
With the help of his new girlfriend, Melody ...
Okay, I can believe a basement quantum-computing whiz kid, the 4 billion year old physicist and time travel, but a girlfriend? Pull the other one!
Nice to the see that the Christmas spirit is alive with you helping out at the shelter by reading extremist right-wing wacko books to the little abused children. You'll have them full of greed and ignorance in no time! Good luck! GO AMERICA!
Meh.
