Notes: The New Hacker's Dictionary is a great book for learning about the
various slang, jargon and customs and folklore of the 'net (as well as
other lairs of the hacker.) Very silly and highly recommended. You can get
it for free online (The Jargon File) at //www.ccil.org/jargon/jargon.html,
but the bound book makes great bathroom reading and contains silly cartoons
and stuff.

This huge book covers vast ground in its 900-plus pages. Although the
quantity is there, the quality isn't exceptional: it is rather unevenly
edited. Some of the listings seem to be listed by name rather than subject
and many items are listed in multiple places, artifically inflating the
size of the book. This index is unique in that it contains listings of some
commercial services available via the Internet, such as DIALOG. Icons
differentiate the free resources from the costly ones.
