The first edition of this book ranked up there with K&R's C book and K&P's unix book as a must have.
The style is light and engaging, and humorous. e.g. on the 'new' lseek call there's a footnote: "The extra letter (l) was available, since creat was one letter short"
I still have my dog-eared copy which I refer to from time to time.
HP distributed it with their first Unix systems in lieu of a an official HP manual.
This 2nd edition adds a Java POSIX library which is excellent. I am already using it in production systems.
(Comparison's with Stevens book are a little unfair as they have different emphases. Rochkinds is on Unix, Steven's are less on Unix and more on networking)

I get the same problem with that Oracle ad. It seems to happen with doubleclick ads.
Can't be sure tho'
PS. why is /. using evil doubleclick?
