I’m always slightly disappointed when they have a “book” bundle and the books are digital. I know it would increase the price 200-300x + shipping, but I don’t think of ebooks as books. I wish they would call it a Humble eBook Bundle :(
I’m probably old school, but I can never get excited about buying an eBook for something you can find online. I don’t have any long commutes though, so I’m probably not the perfect audience for eBooks. I like the idea of books, not that I buy many of those new, especially not technical books.
Sorry I’ll stop ranting and go back to telling kids to get off my lawn.
Well it has Rasberry Pi, Car PC, IRC, BSD, Perl, Excel, HTML5, SQL, and Kinect Hacks, so it is definitely software development related. I’m on the fence.
I wouldn’t say you need to keep it off here. I think it’s a reasonable guess that it could possibly be of interest to the community, and then folks are free to up-/down-vote proportional to their interest.

This is a pretty disjointed bundle. Most of those books have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
It’s….it’s as though O'Rly is just trying to sell indiscriminate crap made out of dead trees without an eye for quality.
Aren’t these all digital? Dead electrons? :)
This is basically product spam for humble bundle @flyingfisch….

You can’t really get to the contents without paying, and we usually discourage posting indexes instead of specific articles anyways.
sorry, I thought people might find it interesting. I’ll keep it off of here from now on :|
