shame on the morons
I have rather happily just used google books or whatever their indexing service is called. It's awesome. How did it come up that I used it? Mary asked me how a fractal is made, and I could only answer it's a simple repitition of patterns. Yes, but,... On a quest I discovered a few great sites for younger learners of fractality...and then I discovered Google's book search. It rather expertly pointed to a book by none other than Herr Mandelbrot (probably spelled wrong). That book in turn quotes Tom Stoppard's play Arcadia and an interview with the composer Ligeti.
Oh the Intellectual Property Implications!
Nonetheless a great read, I never made it past three pages, all of which were marked copyrighted material. Each page had a discrete link to several places where I might buy the copyrighted work.
I cannot think of a better way to go about using the internet. And I might buy the book. So there you moronic publishers. get a grip and stop being so pig headed.
