Internet and Religion

"In the great vacuum of meaning, in the silence of unspoken values, in
the vacancy of something large to stand for, something bigger than
oneself, technology – for better or worse – will shape our society.
Because values and meaning are scarce today, technology will
make our decisions for us. We’ll listen to technology because our
modern ears listen to little else. In the absence of other firm beliefs,
we’ll let technology steer. No other force is as powerful in shaping our
destiny. By imagining what technology wants we can imagine the
course of our culture." quite HARDCORE paper HERE

What century is this? Support democracy in Hungary with new Radio Free Europe broadcasts

Mark Palmer was the U.S. ambassador to Hungary from 1986 to 1990. Miklos Haraszti, a Hungarian author, was the representative on freedom of the media for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe from 2004 to 2010. Charles Gati is a professorial lecturer in Russian & Eurasian studies at Johns Hopkins University’s Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.

In recent weeks, the Hungarian government led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban has frequently attacked Western media outlets but none more than CNN for its reports on the sorry state of Hungarian democracy. Hungarians can still watch CNN, but since January the network is no longer part of the package offered by Hungary’s largest cable provider. MORE

The New French Hacker-Artist Underground By Jon Lackman

Thirty years ago, in the dead of night, a group of six Parisian teenagers pulled off what would prove to be a fateful theft. They met up at a small café near the Eiffel Tower to review their plans—again—before heading out into the dark. Lifting a grate from the street, they descended a ladder to a tunnel, an unlit concrete passageway carrying a cable off into the void. They followed the cable to its source: the basement of the ministry of telecommunications. Horizontal bars blocked their way, but the skinny teens all managed to wedge themselves through and ascend to the building’s ground floor. There they found three key rings in the security office and a logbook indicating that the guards were on their rounds.

By year’s end, Google glasses to stream info to eyeballs


When smartphones came out, it seemed like a leap in convenience to be able to carry important information on us at all times, instead of leaving it with our computers.

But soon, it may seem onerous to reach for your phone, turn it on and find the right app to get a piece of information, when you could instead just wear a pair of glasses that directly stream information to your eyeballs.

By year’s end, the New York Times reports, Google is set to release glasses that do exactly that in real time, so you won’t constantly have to reach into your purse or pocket.

The glasses, which will be Android-based, will cost about as much as a smartphone ($250-$600) and feature a 3G or 4G data connection and GPS and motion sensors. And, of course, they’ll sport a screen a few inches away from the eye.

Here are some other key features:

Marx After Duchamp, or The Artist’s Two Bodies by Boris Groys


Jeff Koons’ design for collector Dakis Joannou’s personal yacht.


The economy of the internet demonstrates this economy of post-Duchampian art even for an external spectator. The internet is in fact no more than a modified telephone network, a means of transporting electric signals. As such, it is not “immaterial,” but thoroughly material. If certain communication lines are not laid, if certain gadgets are not produced, or if telephone access is not installed and paid, then there is simply no internet and no virtual space. To use traditional Marxist terms, one can say that the big communication and information technology corporations control the material basis of the internet and the means of producing of virtual reality: its hardware. In this way, the internet provides us with an interesting combination of capitalist hardware and communist software. Hundreds of millions of so-called “content producers” place their content on the internet without receiving any compensation, with the content produced not so much by the intellectual work of generating ideas as by the manual labor of operating the keyboard. And the profits are appropriated by the corporations controlling the material means of virtual production.

Losing my Revolution


The Egyptian revolution on the 25th of January 2011 was unlike any other revolution in history because of the role of social media. Several blogs, Storify entries, web pages, channels on YouTube where created to document the revolution. Several books were even published documenting the 18 days. All of these contributions were made by the public, not historians, utilizing the tools of web 2.0. As a result of all these contributions we have an enormous digital content including thousands of posts, tweets, images, videos and sound files narrating and documenting the revolution. Unfortunately, at the first anniversary of this revolution over 10%
of this digital content is already gone. MORE HERE

Hear ye hear ye local friends!

Lieve vrienden en familie,

Onderstaand verzoek mail ik graag door:

Er is ophef over de site van de PVV, waar je kunt klagen over de Oost-Europeanen.

Als je naar de PVV- site gaat schrik je je een ongeluk. De tekst is werkelijk schandelijk.

Op de site zie je dat je kunt klikken op 'Meld Uw Verhaal Hier' Je kan daar met ja/nee aanvinken of je last hebt van overlast, crimineel gedrag, geweld e.d.

Het voorstel is nu dat velen van ons meedoen en overal 'nee' op klikken: "Nee hoor, nergens last van..."

Misschien kunnen we een kettingreactie veroorzaken, namelijk dat duizenden mensen aanklikken, dat ze geen last hebben. Dat zou die PVV actie (in elk geval een klein beetje) onderuit halen. Als Wilders met de uitkomst naar de minister stapt, zal hij moeten aangeven dat duizenden hebben gezegd géén last te hebben.

Doe mee, ga naar de site en haal 'm zo onderuit! Je kunt anoniem insturen, want ja, laf zijn die PVV-ers natuurlijk ook nog. De actie is via H. B. naar mij gestuurd en gaat via de email al flink rond. S.v.p. doorsturen dit verzoek.

Hartelijke groet

J. W.

Goldman Sachs and the destruction of Greece

WATCH HERE!

No, #Anonymous can't DDoS the root DNS servers

#Anonymous hackers have announced "Operation Global Blackout", promising to cause an Internet-wide blackout by disabling the core DNS servers. DNS is the phonebook of the Internet that translates machine names (like "www.facebook.com") to network addresses (like "66.220.158.25"). If hackers can disable the global DNS name system, then typing in your favorite website into your browser will produce an error.

But the attack is no longer practical. It's such a common idea that Wikipedia has a page devoted to it. For something so obvious, defenders have spent considerable time devising solutions. There are many reasons why such an attack won't cause a global blackout.

ACTA is Useless… and a Threat, Says Ex-EU Lead Negotiator

"Yes, the agreement (ACTA) is legally binding, and as it is an international agreement, this means it is also binding over national and European law. This is the reason why members of the European Parliament are so worried about checking the conformity of ACTA with the “acquis communautaire”, we do not want to discover after several years that there is incompatibility between ACTA and our legislation, because this would mean that our legislation has to change, not the contrary."

Your Career Is a Joke (A Letter Written By a Billionaire)

One of my favorite kind of wage slaves are careerist wage slaves, the ones who are so stupid that they take their pathetic career seriously. Your career is a joke, it does not mean anything to anyone except you. Your career is going nowhere, because at the end of the day, you are just a wage slave and an extra $500 a month will not change that. Your career is an extension of your meaningless, politically defunct, existence.
Wage slaves are conditioned by my educational institutions to imagine themselves leading a great career, but it’s all just a sick joke. Your career is nothing more than a prison sentence, in which you work to serve your rulers, your masters, me myself and I. Your career is nothing but a hard labor sentence, in which you work from 9-5 for 45 years to end up with a depressing retirement.
Revolutionaries have real careers leading to a revolt against the system, your career leads to a senior home where they change your diaper once a week. Stop being a fool wage slave, your career is a big façade, an intricate lie, you are not going anywhere. Your whole life is a joke but your career is a prison too, you’re stuck in that same cubicle, hoping to move to a slightly bigger cubicle. You’re stuck, that is the best way to characterize you wage-slave, always stuck in the mud of your dumb careerist egotism. You’re stuck in your persona of a person with a future, but it’s all a fucking joke, because to my corporation you’re nothing, not even a name.
Your career is a big joke because at any given moment you can be replaced, or tossed, or fired, or demoted. Every Friday I demote someone who works for me, it’s good for the morale of the corporation, everyone stays afraid and obedient. Your career! Ha! It’s not even really your career since your work and creativity technically belong to my corporation. Now shut your mouth wage slaves and get back to work, get back on the assembly line where your dreams get shattered before your eyes.

What is it what everybody does ... it’s a lot like Paul McCartney talking about hip hop


A great deal of the time, journalists appear to be asking: What is this thing that everybody’s doing? It appears to be completely normal, so why can’t I write about it correctly?

IN No particular order :

"It's a convenience thing."


"You can come by after work, you don't need to deal with parking, you can sign the book outside and the family knows that you paid your respects," said [owner Peggy Scott Adams]. "It's a convenience thing."

The venue provides a speedy way for well-known community folk to be viewed en masse. Seniors don't have to leave their cars. Those who can't stomach stepping inside a funeral home don't have to. Families can avoid the complications of hosting a formal indoor viewing. And the disabled can roll through in their own wheelchairs — as one woman recently did.

In the 1980s, cemetery shootouts made gang members reluctant to gather for graveside services. The drive-thru's glass partition is bulletproof, Scott Adams said, and so for a while the mortuary became a popular location for gang funerals.

Open letter to my fellow students

Finaly,
you have to understand yourself as a political artist and human being.THE PRIVATE IS POLITICAL! You need to understand the connection and that it must come to an end of art-as-entertainment, give up the idea of liberal art and finally position yourself! What is REQUIRED: a socio-political profile! Jazz used to be slave-music, only in that sense thers gonna be a revolution, only then you can escape the consumists-godfathers that withdraw your autonomy! Begin with no justification (cash shortages,what to do, therapy, etc..) nor incoherent belly brushing ("oh how good that we are alive") Will you tolerate, so will your audience! Hopefully then they will understand and be grateful to you,means self-standing and independent. Only then your art will finally start thinking, so will they (fellow men & women) Cite them Dostoyevski and Tarde, Guattari and Hegel for a new way out of the SHOW.Take them out of their own caused passivity and imposed immaturity a la Hollywood.FOR THE FREEDOM OF ART! FOR THE FREE-MAKING ART ! FOR THE END OF THE DEADLY AMUSEMENT! FOR THE END OF INFINITE BOREDOM!

Shut down the coorporations



Why Direct Action?

The F29 Shut Down the Corporations National Day of Action is calling on activists across the country to engage in day of mass non-violent direct action. Direct action is a means of obstructing practices we protest and reclaiming our agency in creating the world we live in. Direct action manifests in many ways such as sit-ins, strikes, blockades, boycotts, banner drops, culture jamming, and performance among many others. The roots of direct action are deep and range from Susan B. Anthony and Martin Luther King Jr. to Rachel Corrie and Tim DeChristopher. Our social fabric is woven with direct action from the Boston Tea Party, to the Silent Sentinels’ pickets for women’s suffrage, the NW timber workers strike of 1935, SNCC sit-ins and the Freedom Rides, the occupation of Alcatraz, actions against nuclear power and weapons, the forest defense movement and the shutdown of the WTO in Seattle. Through direct action we can begin to build another world based upon cooperation, mutual aid, and social as well as ecologically connected community

The Pirate Bay starts today a new and interesting system to promote arts:

As soon as I learned about it, I decided to participate. Several of my books are there, and as I said in a previous post, My thoughts on SOPA, the physical sales of my books are growing since my readers post them in P2P sites. Welcome to download my books for free and, if you enjoy them, buy a hard copy – the way we have to tell to the industry that greed leads to nowhere.
