Now people can download it from your site, instead of from the original url, which I posted on the various newsgroups a week or so ago. I'm trying to get him to upload his Is Consciousness the Unified Field? article as well: While tidying up the John Hagelin Wikipedia entry I found this entry listed on SLAC, scanned into PDF by someone in Japan, I guess: http://ccdb4fs.kek.jp/cgi-bin/img/allpdf?198912227

It'll be great for people in the future who critique Vedic Creation Science a la TM. I have the other article you mention in hardcopy and IIRC from the web.

And thanks. My OCR packages all take PDF's as input docs. I do this to all the PDF bitmapped documents I get now. You can search for words then. A lot of people are doing entire series of books, encyclopedias, etc.

I wish that someone would do that with the works of Dorothy Dunnett. On her discussion list when we wanted to search for phrases or characters, we had to rely on Amazon's Look Inside This Book feature. And as nice as that is in many ways, it has a tendency to lock you out after a very few searches. (There may be a way to subscribe to Amazon's feature for a price, but I never investigated it because I so rarely had to use it.) Isn't the sharing of information -- even IF one can legitimately call some of this sharing piracy -- a fascinating phenomenon? The other day Willytex asked how I managed to watch Lost in a remote village in France? How? Easy. Remember that dialogue in the first Pirates of the Carib- bean movie? Will Turner: You cheated. Jack Sparrow: Pirate. How did I keep up with Lost and Dexter and Battlestar Galactica and The Dresden Files? How did I manage to watch most of the interesting movies made last year, even the ones that were never released in France? I cheated. Pirate. And y'know...I just can't work up that much Buddhist guilt about it. I was a Deadhead for too long as a youth to believe overmuch in copyright in my dotage. :-)

(There may be a way to subscribe to Amazon's feature for a price, but I never investigated it because I so rarely had to use it.) Yeah, it is a very useful feature. All the major works in Dzogchen for example, have been scanned in (300 DPI typically) and I've added the text-behind-image to all of them. If I need to search for something, the search feature in Mac OS X will actually look inside them and find it.

The other day Willytex asked how I managed to watch Lost in a remote village in France? How? Easy. Remember that dialogue in the first Pirates of the Carib- bean movie? Will Turner: You cheated. Jack Sparrow: Pirate. Yeah I missed a number of episodes of TV shows and I just get them online now. It is a good idea to use an IP blocker though. My blocked window has shown the French government scanning IP address several times. I use PeerGuardian which is open source and free. I only, as a rule, use books I already own or are so long out of print and so prohibitively high priced even used as to make them unreasonable to purchase. I feel it is perfectly OK to scan in books I own. It's easy to do now a days. Get Kinkos or your secretary to copy them and then feed them into a document scanner. OCRing takes an hour or so for a large tome. But then you always have it at your fingertips.

You can't turn it into an editable copy without retyping it in (or running text recognition software on it).
