- KWhat, on 10/12/2007, -6/+67Dreamweaver, you pansy! You should be using notepad!
::ducks:: - holydope, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33Notepad? You should be using vi!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Bah! Luxury!
I write my machine code by magnetizing the individual ones and zeros directly onto an iron oxide disk by hand using a charged needle as a read/write head. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Digg: Surf the web, find interesting websites, and kill them.
- gadgetuk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21vi? You molly coddled, poodle stroking amateur. I only use ones and zeros!
- geekdreams, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Yes, but are they free?
- cmw72, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17You still get 500 ...
500 Internal Server Error. - shuffle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Whats DOS?
- geoplaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Um, this site is hosted on "hostgator". That is the host that was hacked recently and ended up with hundreds of domains serving up really nasty viruses and trojans via the VML exploit that was/is a new "zero-day" attack:

"Get a free e-book and join our cozy network of Zombie PC's, FREE!" - nkassi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I wish I could mark your comment as a dupe. WHEN WILL WE GET THIS FEATURE.
Nic - killerofkiller, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I was able to see it for a sec.. then i got this message:
This Account Has Been Suspended
Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible. - mdmadph, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8you're all wimps. I just go into DOS and COPY CON my files out in one big long string.
- BigJuiceMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"OS/2 to Linux Client Transition" Bwahahahaha!
- jarobin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Appears to have already succumbed to "the effect"....
- geoplaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5technique, I use FireFox myself, but I'm just ringing the bell for others.
- geoplaster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7What's wrong with good old "nuked"? Like the game Duke Nukem forever (as in forever in development), a site takes forever to load once it's been nuked by Digg.
- technique, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Firefox FTW
- CPUGUy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Could you possibly use the word eBook any more in that summary?
- alecks, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Man... ever since digg started, people have been trying to coin a new term to use in describing the effect the digg community has on a particular website and it going offline.
Ever attempt has been as lame as ever:
diggdugged
*****
dugged
I can't remember others now, but I always see them and think, gawwd that's awful. - Phil246, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5account has been suspended. I guess either they werent really free ( copyright infringement ahoy etc ), or its just an automated bandwidth exceeded cutoff
Dont suppose anyone mirrored them before it went down? - Wolfghost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Guess I misread the title "500+ Computer ebooks are all FREE". I was expecting over 500 books about computers and related subjects.
There are 148 ebooks listed under "Computers & Internet". The remaining titles are in other categories (Arts & Photography, Biographies & Memoirs, ...). - againes, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6good ebooks, I like the dreamweaver and java ones
- tgone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Does anyone enjoy reading ebooks? I'd much rather sit down away from my computer and read an actual book in my hand. I guess you could print these out, but that would waste a lot of paper and it's still not the same thing. Computers will never replace books.
- mdmadph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4but it's such a trendy word!
(well, it was, like 3 or 4 years ago.) - sctechguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I don't think I've ever seen the word "free" so many times at once...
- zenprowler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3found one of those books in Ikea last week - already assembled as well!
- ChicagoDawg71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Probably so they can come back later when the site is back up. That's why i dugg it.
- AZNL473ncy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What about DOS'ed?
- CharlesDarwin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You had me at VB.NET! =D
- themulf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Anyone remember that website that people posted where they left books for others to pick up and borrow?
- drustar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Dead link already?
- KWhat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I take that back it was originally qdos -
Quick and Dirty Operating System" shortened to DOS when MS got it.... Dirty Operating System... Queue MS programming jokes. - KWhat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Whats DOS?"
It stands for Dinosaur Operating System.... Actually i believe that D is the original programmers first initial. - krellor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Looked at the page source and there is no sign of any exploit that I am familiar with. I played around with that exploit the day it came out and put up a couple dummy sites on my LAN to play with it, and I don't see anything that looks similiar in that page.
- matrixneo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2the site may be down. But I have found one ebook on "1000 Java Tips".
http://www.download.com/1000-Java-Tips/3000-2415_4-10434971.html - VanillaBaron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think djKianoosh was actually responding to Dissipate (above) who was under the impression that the "billing and accounts department" was a part of the "free eBooks" site.
- twe4ked, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i really wish people wouldent sign off in their comments, it says your name at the top of you post so why bother. and then people start adding links to thier stupid gay blogs....
just dont do it - anon52, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Free as in beaver (there's always a gotcha.)
- NapoleonGold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1so dead,
+DUGG it anyway in the hopes that they unsuspend the account or one of you guys can get another link.
I think someone was a little upset. - againes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1site is back on
- stickyhoney, on 02/21/2008, -0/+1Here's a good site for "honest" ebook reviews: http://www.adwordaffiliate.co.uk/ebook-reviews/
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Did anyone else notice that this is gator?
trojan horse ftw. - double_D, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, I agree, the java ones are top noch. I've been getting a decent number of computer books (real ones, not ebooks) from www.whatsonmybookshelf.com which seemed to have a good collection. The ones they put on went pretty fast so I don't know how many are currently available.
- viron86, on 01/12/2009, -0/+0check this site to
http://ebookbuddy.blogspot.com/ - Twinny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0from 500 errors before now to 403's.. digg probably killed it.
- assente, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0403 here too
- squirlyblack, on 08/01/2008, -0/+0 Even though they are not 500, they are still pretty good. I heard about the problem with the Trojans, but if it’s an bad book don’t read it :P just use a good antivirus and you’ll be safe. https://cisco.hosted.jivesoftware.com/index.jspa?c ...
- anon52, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Actually, the terms DOS (and TOS, etc.) predated the Personal Computer. They were also used for various big-iron mainframes such as IBM 360 which wanted to let their customers know that the OS was no longer stored on punched cards (or paper tape.) You whipper-snappers just don't know shinola any more.
