Death to CRC.  Somehow the judge thinks that the harm to the general public
from taking the site down would be minimal.  If I ever want to publish
anything in a book I am going to make sure I have a really good lawyer.

Software patents also give me a murderous rage.  See this article
http://www.around.com/patent.html it's by the author of Chaos, and is very
good.

Well about the math, uh mathworld was the site to get things, and now as
things are you can try to figure things out from one of the sites from a
search.  Your best bet is probably a visit to a college library.  While you
are there you could try talking to a professor.  Most of their students are
only taking math because they have to, they like talking to people who
actually are driven to learn.

PS don't you dare buy a CRC book.
