A little miffed.......2003-08-20

I love Cowboy Bebop, and I'm very happy to have the book, but I would have been far more pleased if the poster contained inside hadn't been ripped in half. Shippers? Please be a little more careful when you box the merchandise, huh?

Not impressed, if this was half the price, then its worth it.......2003-06-22

I'm a huge Cowboy Bebop fan, I own the series on DVD and preordered the movie a long time ago. I bought this book thinking that it would be full of cool facts and info that you wouldn't pick up from the actual DVD, but it's really just a synopsis of each episodes with a bunch of pictures from each episode. There are a few pages of extras, but they are mostly some rough sketches and short bios, nothing really worth the price of this book.

If this was half the price, it might be worth it, but even then I would only suggest this for the absolute collector that must have every Cowboy Bebop related piece of merchandise out there, regardless of quality. For the casual fan, or even the more fanatic, it's simply not worth the money.

Great source for information..........2003-04-29

The 'cowboy Bebeop Anime Guide 1' -the first out of six volumes- starts off with a few character bios, then gives summaries and information on the first six episodes of the series. The last few chapters deal with the setting of Cowboy Bebop universe, with a chapter explaining about bounty hunters along with files on the items used by the characters and lots of sketches on everything from the types of spacesuits used to the character of Vicious.
The information is interesting, but most of it can be found if you have the DVDs. This book would make a good gift for Cowboy Bebop fans who have everything else or for people who need the information at their fingertips, like fan fiction writers. Lots of color pictures right from the anime help fill out the work but it still feels kind of weak.

Insider's Guide to a Space Cowboy's Life..........2002-09-10

When I snatched (actually purchased) this book, I was instantly drawn in. I mean drawn in. The images are clear and crisp, and I enjoyed reading the play-by-play mode of the episode summaries. While the book doesn't contain my favorite session, I absolutely loved viewing the screencaps of Spike's life courtesy of Session 5: Ballad of Fallen Angels. In the back is an art file filled with black & white drawings of the characters. Interesting and filled with information for any die-hard Bebop fan, the Cowboy Bebop Anime Guide is a definitive must.

Good but there is a light........2002-07-12

This is a good book that i enjoyed reading over and over again but you can get the same books at barnesandnoble for 1 dollar cheaper and if you bye two there is no shipping fee.

Customer Reviews:

One of the top 10 American works of all time!.......1998-06-05

Deschenes & Runge are masters of a new definiition of the American dream. It's ironic that no where else does modern literature cohabitate with conspicuous consumptions of ilicit grandeur like in Ski Party USA.

It mad me laugh, it made me cry, it made me change my life. Never before have so many words meant so little to so many people.

John Fowles calls it "[A]s various, quirkily learned, beguiling, opinionated and, in parts, as sumptuously written as Shakespeare..."

You have to read this book!!!

Book Description

Leo Laporte is TV and radio's most recognized and prolific technology personality, best known for his humor, wit and ability to teach both newcomers and grizzled PC veterans. In Leo Laporte's 2006 Technology Almanac, Leo provides a year's worth of anecdotes, tips, factoids, and musings about the machines at the center of your life.

A page is devoted to each day of the year, and each page includes several elements: typically a single-topic essay that takes up most of the page (on subjects as varied as ergonomics, Easter eggs in popular programs, processor overclocking, and discount-travel Web sites), and hints, tips, references to worthwhile software, and goofy trivia.

Customer Reviews:

Leo Laporte is Amazing!.......2007-09-24

I wish he would have produced a book for 2007 and 2008, because Leo Laporte is a wealth of knowledge. Even though this book is a year old, I still find it a good source of information.

Disapointing .......2007-02-11

The author is on an ego trip trying to be entertaining.
I wanted a reference book to assist me in understanding new computer technology and its applications; this book is a total failure re that objective.
There is no glossary or index to find anything.

You'll Win at Trivial Pursit with This One.......2006-02-25

For those of you know do know Leo Leporte, let me fill you in. He's one of the busiest, friendliest, and very knowledgeable guys around today. He's on TV, the radio, and on a dozen podcasts. Leo knows technology.

Leo Laporte's 2006 guide to Technology Almanac is a good companion if you're looking to discover more about the present and past technology. Each week has a theme that is discovered in more detail. There are gadgets of the week, tips, and 'this week in technology" tidbits. It's written with a sense of humor and a worthy purchase for any technology geeks at heart (like me).

Leo Laporte's 2006 Technology Almanac.......2006-02-24

Very good tech book. Has lots of interesting tweaks and also an easy read and helpful insights.

Computer tips.......2006-02-24

As usual Leo Laporte has put out a book worth reading even if you are not a dedicated geek. It is chock full of tips and tricks for the beginner through expert computer user. I will be waiting for the 2007 Almanac to come out.

Book Description

In this original and controversial book, historian and philosopher Reviel Netz explores the development of a controlling and pain-inducing technology--barbed wire. Surveying its development from 1874 to 1954, Netz describes its use to control cattle during the colonization of the American West and to control people in Nazi concentration camps and the Russian Gulag. Physical control over space was no longer symbolic after 1874.

This is a history told from the perspective of its victims. With vivid examples of the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and the environment, this dramatic account of barbed wire presents modern history through the lens of motion being prevented. Drawing together the history of humans and animals, Netz delivers a compelling new perspective on the issues of colonialism, capitalism, warfare, globalization, violence, and suffering. Theoretically sophisticated but written with a broad readership in mind, Barbed Wire calls for nothing less than a reconsideration of modernity.

Book Description

Download Description

Written by the same lead engineers of the Snort Development team, this will be the first book available on the major upgrade from Snort 2 to Snort 2.1 (in this community, major upgrades are noted by .x and not by full number upgrades as in 2.0 to 3.0).

Snort 2.1.......2006-02-23

The information in this book was invalueable but sometimes it was hard to follow because it was poorly written

Good introductionto Snort.......2005-11-28

Snort 2.1 Intrusion Detection (2nd Edition) is useful as a general introduction to intrusion detection and Snort. If you already have a good understanding of IDS technology you may find the IDS discussion to be a bit general in nature. For someone who only wants to review the basic IDS principals quickly and without a great deal of extra detail the IDS coverage in this book is sufficient. Much of the information on Snort felt like a retelling of Snort Users Manual from the Snort web site. Part of this feeling may be due to the fact that members of the Snort development team who undoubtedly had a hand in the user's manual wrote this book. This book does go into more detail on some subjects than the Snort Users Manual. There is a good step by step set of instructions for installing Snort and associated software on either a Windows or a Linux system. Overall this book seems to be a pretty good overview of Snort for someone looking to use only one resource, but I do not see anything that is not also available in other documentation available.

Snort is moving fast.......2005-03-08

At the time of this review, the latest version of Snort is 2.3. However, the newest books(about two out there) on Snort, including this one, only covers up to version 2.1. And according to the Product Description, "in this community, major upgrades are noted by .x and not by full number upgrades as in 2.0 to 3.0". This pretty much means that this book is already out-dated, and it's printed in 2004, less than a year ago. This reminds me of when Linux was starting to get popular. Red Hat Linux went from version 6.2 to version 9.0 in just two years. Not to mention there are tons of books supposely dedicated to all those versions of Linux in the short two year period. Linux saved businesses a lot of money, and provided stability that MS Windows counterpart didn't. Snort will eventually replace or be at the same level as the current commercial Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS).
I think this time the publishers are smarter, and recognized the pattern from their Linux frenzy publishing experience, lol. The old Linux books litter the thousands of bookstore shelves with nobody buying, lol. That's why at the moment there are very few books on Snort.

Jay gets the job done.......2005-02-28
