“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Damn, this is the coolest thing in the world.Last edited by DanS; December 8, 2006, 18:33.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

I see fingers on some pages
And another funny thing, the fingers are usually masked by a grey block pasted over them, you can see it in the lower right pages of the books (at least those I'm browsing through).
However, it is probably masked by a computer algorithm, which sometimes misses.
So we have some pages with human fingers on them scanned
Link me! I know a guy who was scanning books for Google.

There is something wrong about their search algorithm though. You get no results when searching for "book" or "books".

They probably didn't want people typing in these search terms and getting a complete count of the number of book in their database.

Incidentally, how much do they get paid? I thought it was slightly higher than working for Kinkos, but not much.Originally posted by OzzyKP

My last name gets 10 results. My full name gets no results.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
