i've got holidays for the next couple months and i've got no social life or off-line friends to speak of.
what are some good text books i can read during this time?
any subject is fine really, as long as it's somehow related to computers.
and by 'good' i mean detailed and thorough, not fun to read.

book on linux kernel architecture. I think there is a nice one by oriely maybe.
Teaches you nice posix concepts unless you already know them and also good for driver hacking if you ever need to do embedded stuff.

Best thing to read is not a book, but right here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.27.10.tar.bz2

More people here should be reading source code more than books
Preferably stepping through with a debugger

How exactly do you step through a kernel in a debugger?

OP should order the Intel Processor manuals. Order+shipping is free, and Intel will ship it out anywhere in the world.

http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/index.htm

I'm surprised at how accessible it is, even for beginners. The manuals are split into easy-to-digest sections, so don't feel put off by the sheer volume of information.

So do I have to email these fuckers or phone them?

Oh god what do I say in the email to these guys. Is it a robot? Do ask for book?

You can just email them...
I assume there's an actual human reading these orders, since my order took almost a week before it was accepted. The order page has details of what you need to include, such as the SKU of the books you want, address, contact number, name, etc...

It might also help if you email from a formal university/work email account, since I doubt they would consider "blackprogsnake@yahoo.com" as particularly worth their time.

I've had more fun writing toy Cell programs for my PS3 than I have actually playing games on it. IBM's Cell documentation is pretty good.

It's a personal preference. For me I can't stand looking at a light bulb to read text. I need something tangible, something I can hold in my hands to read by a fireplace on a cold winter's night. If you're fine gazing into a sea of pixels, then that's fine too.

1 PPU and 6 SPEs is a really interesting platform to develop for. It's fun even if it's a totally neutered development environment and you have no access to the RSX and you're missing 2 SPEs.

By ordering a book instead of downloading you incure expenses which come from people who buy intel CPUs.
