That title is a little misleading.
I suppose it would be more accurate to say I bought a copy of it. :)

I just started reading Makers by Cory Doctorow and I’m really impressed. He’s managed to capture the giddiness of the dot-com era in a very plausible-near-future sort of way. I’m reading the HTML version on my ‘Droid right now, but reading the first few chapters has convinced me to go old skool and pick up a meatspace copy.
Hey Doctorow! Your evil plan of reverse psychology has worked! By handing me a free digital copy I’m convinced to buy an analog copy of your work!
As a sidenote, by making his work open source there’s all sorts of amazing things sprouting out of it – the entire novel printed on a cash register roll? And other wild stuff you and I never thought of…
Disclaimer: This is only for Windows XP. It worked for me and may not work for you. I’m a complete novice, so use at your own risk. That said, this procedure completely fixed the “avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51” errors I was getting in the Arduino environment.
Congratulations!
A huge thank you to Jet and Rick Pollack for walking me through this procedure step by step.
