This is a great book.

That being said, why is this on HN? The link is from 2007. The book is even older.

Yes, it's from 2007, but it doesn't seem dated and definitely would be of interest to readers of HN. As far as I know there is no preference for 'new' material here - in fact tried and true is preferred! And if it's a double, it's worthwhile just for the mp4 link above. I wanted to do this but .rm - no.

Well I've owned the book since about 1995 and still haven't gotten anywhere on it.

The .rm? I had to Google RealPlayer to see if they were even still around.

Seems to work OK on VLC, no RealPlayer needed :)

It doesn't matter how old it is, if it's interesting to hackers it's appropriate.
