About Computer Books
-
Hi All, I am from Sri Lanka. There are plenty of Students, They are learning Computer as a subject in our Country. But They have no enough facilities like Computer books. We can buy latest computer books from only few book shops. But very expensive. Most peoples can't buy books, because of some times they have to spend their one month salary for a one book. If anybody like to help them, you can give your used/new or unnecessory books. Thanks

Oh come on. Why have people voted this down? As far as I can see, and perhaps I'm just naive or stupid, this is an honest attempt to help people. Yes - they would like us to ship books over, but the original post has no addresses to send to, no association with any organisation (that I could see), and is clearly served by pointing to a free site.
the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before. -

Just a hunch, but I suspect the linked site doesn't have the legal right to offer the books to download.
-- Rules of thumb should not be taken for the whole hand.
Fair enough. I did say I might be naive or stupid.:-D

Actually, not fair. The hunch was wrong - the PDFs are legal and offered by the organization that commissioned the books in the first place. And a post shouldn't be voted down because someone suspects that something is wrong - before voting, one should confirm one's suspicions or simply withhold judgment.

Somewhat limited in scope, what if they want to learn about Titania rather than Oberon ;P
only two letters away from being an asset

Considering your previous posts it's no wonder people vote it down out of hand. The fable about the boy who cried wolf comes to mind. Perhaps it is to late for your posts to seriously be considered here. Maybe another name change would be in order.:laugh:

Then someone else - who knows a lot about Titania - can recommend readings for them. I only recommend books that (a) I've read, and (b) have been unusually helpful to me.

Or maybe the voters here should grow up, take their responsibilities seriously, and judge each post on its merits, not their subjective feelings about the poster.

Guess that explains some of your previous posts. Limited in scope.

Perhaps you should also growup and realize what the real world is about.
