by Gregory Boyce

This book on LISP is referred to as one of the bibles of the Lisp/Scheme world, and is available for free from the MIT Press. http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/sicp.html On Sun, 2004-06-20 at 00:47, sageman(a)WPI.EDU wrote: > Hi.

Re: [Wlug] Books Of Lisp

by J Schonberg

I currently own a copy of LISP (Winston, Klause and Horn) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201083191/qid=1087711047/sr=ka-2/re… which I picked up only becuase it was a required text for a class I was taking. The text is comprehensive although for an introduction, I always felt that the Little Lisper was better. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0023397632/qid=1087710984/sr=… Cheers.

Books Of Lisp

by sageman＠WPI.EDU

Hi. Well, I figure since Lisp is such an important language, especially in GNU/Linux systems (favorite of Stallman afterall) I should pose this question to this group. Basically I'm interested in learning Lisp and was wondering if anyone has some favorite or recommended books that describe the syntax of Lisp. Additionally books related to introductory artificial intelligence work, with algorithms, design issues, et cetera, especially books with example Lisp code would be very welcome. Thanks. - Carlton Stedman II

Wanted : Cobalt Qube 2

by J Schonberg

Is there any one currently on this list who might have a Cobalt Qube 2 around that they would be willing to part with? I'm seeking a Linux based MIPS platform to experiment with and this seems to be a reasonable solution. If you happen to have one, please let me know. Thanks.

Re: [Wlug] remote burning

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm new to networking, and I'm playing with different possibilities. Probably makes sense to leave this one alone for awhile.

RE: [Wlug] remote burning

The other kludgy solution would be to install VNC on the windows machine, copy the ISO to a windows share via samba, then just connect to the machine and run Nero/EasyCD/etc. Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Brian J.

Or at least I think it's there. Maybe not. This definitely isn't what you're trying to accomplish, but if you have DirectCD or something similar installed on the Windows system (which lets you access the writeable CD like a fixed disk), you could share it with write access, and dump files onto it and manipulate it like a hard disk via Samba. The CD could then be removed and used on any system that could understand that format, which I believe is anything with DirectCD, or a Linux box with UDF support (I could be wrong, but I thought that used packet writing). You wouldn't be able to close the disc from Linux or write an ISO file like you could with something you have direct access to, though, as previously mentioned. Brian J.

Re: [Wlug] Dell Dimension 270GX... stuck on sound...

by gboyce＠badbelly.com

Tim, Do you have windows on this machine? I have a similiar sound card for my laptop, and I find that if I leave the drive muted under windows, then I cannot unmute it under linux at all. It looks unmuted, but no sounds are made. If you still have windows, boot to windows and make sure the device is unmuted. Then boot back into linux and give it a try again.
