I think I still enjoy the atheism books because of the things I learn.

How do you like the Hacking book? Have you ever read "The Cuckoo's Egg"? If not, it's a must read for the hacker types.

MYSQL, off topic but I didn't like the little exposure I had to MySQL. Seemed buggy.But on the other hand, SQL Server isn't free.

The hacking book seems pretty good so far. It is very code intensive after the first chapter. I haven't gotten very far in the book yet. I just got it on Thursday, but so far so good. I need to boot the live CD that came with the book and see if there is anything useful besides the codes. I use Backtrack for just about everything.

Yeah. MySQL takes some getting used to, but its the price for living in the open source world. I have a partition for Windows, but I haven't booted into it in about three weeks.
