I really do. I absolutely hate this damned book. It's got nothing to do with the content (which I haven't really read at all). It has to do entirely with the fact that I'm a giant cheapskate. I'll explain.
This is a required text for a CS class I'm taking. Since it's really only ever used for homework problems, I didn't buy it. In fact, neither did Satan—not the real Satan, a pansified Socorro incarnation thereof.
Anyway. The entire semester, Satan and I coördinated with ZGerman (who did, in fact, actually buy the book) so we could do our homework.
Last week, however, the professor said we'd have a final exam (which is very uncharacteristic of his graduate courses, but this class was full of idiots) and that it would be open book.
There went the entire semester of completely avoiding buying this fucking book. So, I had two used copies scrambled to Satan and I.
Later that week, the prof changed his mind and decided to have a take-home exam instead.
Damn him.
