"Michel Bauwens 25th January 2015 Our book of the year is Humanizing the Economy by John Restakis. See why below.. I can truthfully say it's one of the most important books I have read in the last ten years."

"The last chapter of The Open Organization talks about how a leader in an open community has to be a catalyst, "an agent that provokes or speeds significant change in action." When I read this definition, say it out loud, and reflect on my connotations of this word, I sense a degree of urgency. I don't think of a catalyst as necessary calculated, so I would like to explore the idea of a "calm catalyst.""

"Is the Linux community under-represented in the Linux Foundation? Last week, this question raised controversies when Free Software Foundation director Matthew Garrett observed that the Linux Foundation had eliminated voting rights for individual members and changed its bylaws to make at-large board members optional."

"This sections relates to disabling and removing the ME (Intel Management Engine) on GM45. This was originally done on the ThinkPad X200, and later adapted for the ThinkPad R400/T400/T500. It can in principle be done on any GM45 or GS45 system. The ME is a blob that typically must be left inside the flash chip (in the ME region, as outlined by the default descriptor). On GM45, it is possible to remove it without any ill effects. All other parts of coreboot on GM45 systems (provided GMA MHD4500 / Intel graphics) can be blob-free, so removing the ME was the last obstacle to make GM45 a feasible target in libreboot (the systems can also work without the microcode blobs). "

"Recently, I read Seth Godin's book Poke the Box: When Was the Last Time You Did Something for the First Time?. It's a short book, but it's filled with anecdotes about people who have "poked the box," which is to say they have taken a risk."

"Anybody who has been paying attention to the net over the last week or so will certainly have noticed an abundance of articles with titles like "How to hack any Linux machine just using backspace". All this press does indeed highlight an important vulnerability, but it may not be the one that they think they are talking about."

" Ernesto on December 19, 2015 C: 70 News Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde served his prison sentence last year but still owes the entertainment industries millions in damages. Some might think that he's learned his lesson, but with a newly built copying machine he's generating millions of extra 'damages,' which might be worth a mention in the Guinness Book of Records. "

"While I was putting together slides for my lightning talk at Great Wide Open (happening March 16-17), Not that Weird: Open Source Tools for Creatives, I remembered that in the last half of 2015 we had a bit of a loss from our open source creative toolbox. I think I was little"

"Bash is the default user shell in most Linux distributions. In case of incidents affecting a UNIX server, they are chances that a Bash shell will be involved. Bash keeps an history to help the user to search (and reuse) his last commands:"

"Perhaps the biggest surprise to come from Microsoft's Build developer conference last week was the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)."

"Agam Shah IDG News Service Oct 7, 2016 1:03 PM Linux pioneer Linus Torvalds is a stand-up guy-he says what he feels. There's no sugarcoating, and he'll admit to faults, like recent issues with the Linux 4.8 kernel. He was full of surprises at last week's Linaro Connect conference, when he was asked about his favorite chip architecture. He didn't blink before saying it was x86, not ARM. "

"The controversial and increasingly aggressive upgrade campaign frustrated many. Peter Bright (US) - Sep 21, 2016 9:42 pm UTC"

So The Media, Now, request what the Internet Users have been claiming since last 90's to definitively resolve the sharing practices, while -since then- The Same Press criticized all the proposals of The Internet Community to legalize Sharing, extracting some portion of The ISP's Fees to Pay Creation...
