Jaynes Draft of "Probability Theory:The Logic of Science". http://www-biba.inrialpes.fr/Jaynes/prob.html
Bretthorst's slightly edited version. http://thiqaruni.org/mathpdf9/(86).pdf
EDIT: If anyone knows how to fix that link, please ping me with a solution.
Although the link is broken, the file doesn't exist anymore. According to comments here Jaynes' publishers took the book down. For your edification, one would normally escape parentheses with "URL encoding" by replacing the opening parenthesis with %28 and the closing parenthesis with %29.

That seems rather tedious for blog comments.
Why doesn't \ work as an escape character here?
This section in the FAQ about escapes and links just doesn't seem to work as advertised: http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_make_a_comment.3F

Maybe if I put some text in between? The first one below is the same as the previous one above, where the text and url have a carriage return between them. The second removes the carriage return so it is all on one line. The third removes the backslash in the url portion.

Yes, that does seem to work for me. I think you must be typing it wrong somehow. Or it's some crazy bug.
Edit: I see, the problem is when it looks for links to automatically promote them if you don't use Markdown syntax. I guess escaping the parenthesis doesn't work there.
Should look like this:

You don't actually have to escape the close parenthesis in the "link text" park of the Markdown (in square brackets), only in the URL part (in parentheses).
