Continued secrecy of private knowledge.

Or is it worth $30 for a 1995 paperback, maybe so...

I don't have the apparatus to scan it - and I'm not sure a used copy in "very good" condition would make a decent digital copy :P Also, sci-hub.io seems to be down. John

Apparatus? Please. People have access to a knife, digital camera, computer, and internet? Right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract_(software) https://opensource.com/life/15/9/open-source-extract-text-images (Anons should skip the cloud version, obviously.) People even routinely share books as jpeg zip archives leaving the OCR to others.

Also, sci-hub.io seems to be down.

Sea the cc or onion.

Ack! Ok, you caught me :P Truth is, I'm a bit of a greedy bastard when it comes to the few spare hours I have in life. Some might say lazy, but I thoroughly resemebl^H^H^H^H resent such remarks!! And, more importantly, I can't bear the thought of actually destroying the paperback, cutting pages away from the spine, even though I know it is for the greater good... I would certainly never ask Mirmir to do it with his copy of the book! I love them too much. Obviously there is some hypocrisy here.

I think this message will make you smile. Received it today. :) Muuaaah! Kisses! :* Ceci ===== "Three years after Aaron Schwartz's tragic death, the fight for free access to knowledge is far from over. Following Schwartz’s path, Alexandra Elbakyan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_Elbakyan, a graduate student from Kazakhstan, has been making the headlines since 2011, when she founded Sci-Hub http://sci-hub.cc/ (at the age of 22). In the vein of what *AAAAARG* http://aaaaarg.fail/ has been doing since 2000, “the website provide mass and public access to research papers”"....
