I gotta agree with the above comments. The book is excellent. It does, however, get a little difficult towards the end as he approaches complex topics (i.e. Integration by parts if I remember correctly). These topics are perhaps a little too advanced to be approaced simply, as in his book. Excepting that, brilliant...
IMHO there is still not a decent substitute for a properly taught math course at a college nightschool. Thats kinda hit and miss though (you could get a not-so-good teacher). I'd read the book and then do the course.
The only decent textbook which can be self taught from that I've found is Calculus: Preliminary Edition by Deborah Hughes-Hallet and Andrew M Gleason. Pub by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Dont forget to pick up the answer manual. Printed on acid free paper too.
Physics: read Feyman and then do a course, absolutely do the course.
Also Issac Asimov's 3 books Understanding Physics. They are full of lucid explainations (though not as good as Feyman's) If you read those you still won't be able to do physics afterwards.
Application is something totally different...

There was a torrent posted for it on /. a few weeks ago.
How about The Prisoner (sans ep 17)?
