To be accurate, the diff is against current cvs.  If you're making
progress, great!  If not, I can send you a tarball with current source.

The Complete Far Side</A> 
Gary Larson, Steve Martin (Introduction) 
Andrews McMeel Publishing; ISBN: 0740721135 
Among the not-so-huge ranks of all cartoonists who ever lived, you 
can make the case that Gary Larson ranks at the top, right there in 
the number-one slot. Nobody even comes close to his inventive and 
often utterly obscure genius. We're convinced some of his cartoons 
are funny and yet incomprehensible simply because they're years ahead 
of their time. Human civilization is just not ready for them yet. 
Here is all of Larsen's published genius, over 4,000 cartoons (1,100 
never collected in book form), in two volumes, 14 chapters, and about 
20 pounds. Yes, this sucker is heavy - but then, it bears the heavy 
burden of a weighty genius. It's worth noting that the publisher 
spared no expense in terms of production quality in order to do 
justice to Larson's art and work. These are some fine looking books. 
Beside the cartoons, you also get Larson's commentary about his work, 
and even some choice letters from people he has managed to puzzle and 
offend over the years. If you don't already salivate at the prospect 
of owning this, we might as well trot out the dreaded H-word 
("holiday") and suggest you think about buying it for some truly 
deserving soul.

Over the Edge of the World: Magellan's Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe</A> 
Laurence Bergreen 
William Morrow; ISBN: 0066211735 
Contrary to popular myth and the unfortunate title of this book, 
Ferdinand Magellan himself did not circumnavigate the world. He was 
killed in the Philippines, leaving it to one of his five ships and 18 
starving sailors to make it back to Spain as the first humans to 
officially go around the world. Nevertheless, the story of his voyage 
is amazingly dramatic and an adventurous tale of wooden ships and 
iron men (anybody remember that great Avalon Hill game from the mid 
'70s?). The book is perfectly timed to cash in on the publicity 
frenzy associated with the release of that Russell Crowe 
<a href="http://www.masterandcommanderthefarsideoftheworld.com/">picture</a> 
based on the 
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0393307050/netsurferdigest">
book series</a> by Patrick O'Brian. Since there's a flurry of
wooden-ship books out there, we might as well mention a few of the
others. We already recommended 
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/067003133X/netsurferdigest">
The Bounty</a>". There's also 
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/067003231X/netsurferdigest">
Sea of Glory: America's Voyage of Discovery, the U.S. Exploring Expedition,
1838-1842</a>", about a voyage of discovery which rivaled Lewis and
Clark's expedition in ambition but is all but forgotten today. Finally,
we could not possibly do the topic justice without mentioning the
granddaddy of all nautical fiction, C. S. Forester's magnificent 
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0316289329/netsurferdigest">
Horatio Hornblower series</a> - less modern than O'Brian but, as they say,
utterly unputdownable.

Wireless Hacks</A> 
Rob Flickenger 
O'Reilly & Associates; ISBN: 0596005598 
Unlike some of the other books in the O'Reilly Hacks series, this is 
a very technical volume. Rob Flickenger is really, really into that 
whole wireless thing, and it shows - the guy designs his own wireless 
antennas and puts access points into lightbulb fixtures. This is not 
a book for casual wireless users who might just want to secure their 
browsing a bit more - though it will certainly tell you how to do 
that. Many of the hacks focus on software, much of it designed to run 
on Unix, either Linux or Mac OS X. On the Windows side, you'll see 
coverage of Windows XP and Windows 2000, but the heavy-duty 
networking and security tools covered here are found on Unix. Beyond 
software, the other major focus is on wireless hardware and on 
wringing out of it the most possible function and performance. Casual 
wireless users will probably find all this too technical, but if 
you're setting up any sort of publicly accessible or technically 
sophisticated wireless access point, this is a must-have book.

Battlestar Galactica - The Complete Epic Series</A> 
Various 
Universal Studios 
The word "cheesy" was seemingly coined for this blatant attempt to 
cash in on the "Star Wars" frenzy. Yet, beyond the cheese, beyond 
even the shock of seeing Cartwright pater Lorne Greene in a cape, 
there was the making of a cult classic. What's important to remember 
is that in 1978 this was the only science fiction series on 
television, the only meal to satisfy the natural yearning of young 
kids for interstellar conflict. The series formed many a fond memory 
in impressionable young minds, a memory which will now force them to 
part with $83.99 for this collection of 17 episodes. Amazingly, only 
one season on the air has spawned a couple of decades of fandom - you 
can still see the occasional Cylon wandering the halls of your local 
SF convention. Don't think about it too hard. It's all just 
gloriously mindless fun - with blasters!
