Useless and outdated.

Useless and outdated. I didn't care to know the "types" of FV users.

This book was absolutely terrible. I purchased it while taking a class required for continuing professional certs, and I was shocked at how outdated and archaic most of the information is. It was also very dry, and the principles were poorly explained in many areas. Unless you have a professor who tests straight out of the book, save your money - you can find better, more accurate explanations of the material in this book by searching Youtube, or the public forums.

Seriously out of date.  I didn't realize that this book was published in the early 90's and not updated for modern times.

This was a required reading book for my Virtual Reality class from Iowa State U. (ME/HCI 580).

It is outdated and underwhelming.  Most of the technologies have been replaced long ago.  If you are expected to use this book for any classes SUGGEST A NEW BOOK.

Current thinking concentrates on counting carbohydrates and not calories.  This publication is clearly old and not much use. The recipes are also outdated. It was a waste of money and shipping costs.

The information in this book is completely outdated. Most of the links listed don't work and the methods are archaic in today's internet world. As the internet evolves at light speed a book written in 1995 and updated in 1997 has very little relevant information in 2003. Very disappointing, as I found the Guerrilla Marketing Handbook by the same author to be well written and a useful resource, although it too needs updating to provide online contact information for many of the resources listed.

I was required to use this book for my films class.  Published in 1977, It is too old and out of date to be used as a textbook.  Being old doesn't necessarily mean that the historical facts are wrong, but the way that the material is presented is not conducive for learning because it cannot connect to or engage the contemporary reader. The references it makes are out of date and have little or nothing that a contemporary reader can relate to, so that the references become useless. The book is poorly written. It is dry, monotonous and redundant.  It seems to ramble, stringing the reader along as he/she waits for a nugget of relevant knowledge.  It talks just as much about what a formula or genera is not as it talks about what the formula or genera is, so that it is confusing and the reader is continuously waiting for the text to get to the point.  It is often far to specific, focusing on one book or movie, to give notion of what the genera or formula is outside of the given example.  I have read many text books for many different types of courses and this is by far the worst book I have had to read/study.  It is more frustrating than informational. Please instructors, find a different book as a class resource!

This book is only good if you want the software. By now (2/98) the software is outdated.  The other reader is correct about the Red Hat image being incorrect but the correct image is in another directory. It doesnt say it anywhere in the docs, you have to poke around the CD for it.
The chapter on recompiling the kernel is incorrect. I had to use one of my older books for that. It also omits crucial ending steps so linux will see the new kernel.

The chapter on PPP with pppd and chat is good but you can get that info anywhere. Actually the PPP HOWTO on the CD is better.

In its section on Networking, it doesn't tell you that you have to add networking to your kernel to make all that TCP/IP stuff work. This requires a recompile but oops, that part is incorrect

This is utterly useless. Not up to date, and the information provided is easily available for free elsewhere. Don't bother.

This book may have been useful in 2003 when it was written, but in the hyper changing digital world, it's now (2008) seriously out of date. As a consequence nearly everything specific about particular hardware or software is not useful. I'm returning the book.

Has proven to be totally useless. Money wasted.

This book is so old that it is useless for a communications class. I ended up dropping the class after I read 'now that people are beginning to have personal computers...it also said 'social media sites are beginning to pop up'. Really? Facebook? Twitter?

Hopelessly out of Date - Do yourself a favor and skip this travel guide - jump straight to the Rough Guide to Belize&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Rough-Guide-to-Belize-5th-fifth-edition-Text-Only/dp/B004PGLVJE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Rough Guide to Belize 5th (fifth) edition Text Only</a>. We just returned from a month in Belize (July & August 2011) and the Lonely Planet Guide is a waste of time. And, is not time for Lonely Planet to provide a truly useful Index? We all know that Lonely Planet's Index has been and remains quixotic. If you want to investigate a particular site, hotel, shop, or restaurant, you must first already know what district in which to find what you are looking for. Well, if it your first time to Belize, how are you supposed to know this information? Yes, LP does provide maps to help you sort all this out, by why do we have to bother? Rough Guide is a much more intuitive and thus highly user-friendly. While we are on the subject of maps, the LP maps contained within the Belize guide are just barely useful. Why do we have to buy an additional LP map kit?

I have been a great fan of Lonely Planet and have bought dozens of their guides over the years. When there were very few choices of useful guides, LP was the way to go. But, now the choice is clearly the Rough Guide series.

All of the health screening information is outdated and obsolete. Because of this I will not use it. A waste of money.

Useless, too small to read and not up dated to new streets.

Of course this device is terribly outdated now, but it was terrible when new.  I used or rather tried to use the ARINC version as an electronic flight bag.  The software was difficult to navigate.  It couldn't display an entire approach chart legibly, was very slow, locked up constantly, and was unusable if you dropped the stylus on the floor in a bumpy cockpit.  This thing was a hazard.  It wasn't any better as a reading device.

This book dates back to 1999, and since I'm writing this in 2006, that's seven years ago. Seven years is a long time for computer documentation. Virtually everything in the book is so far out of date that it's useless. The authors also didn't do a very good job of staying on topic; there are many long digressions that are neither interesting nor useful. In many cases, the authors merely give a broad-strokes outline of how to accomplish a particular task, or talk about several different approaches that have been taken by different people, without concluding with anything very helpful about how to actually accomplish the task.
