A more thorough introduction to this topic is "Probability Theory: The Logic of Science" by E. T. Jaynes (http://www-biba.inrialpes.fr/Jaynes/prob.html).

The author's page (http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Vinay_Deolalikar/) has now been updated to include a direct link to the PDF version (http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Vinay_Deolalikar/Papers/pnp_p...). He also notes: "The preliminary version made it to the web without my knowledge. Please note that the final version of the paper is under preparation, and is to be posted here shortly (in about a week). Stay tuned."
