Bdale maintains a repository that contains the FreedomBox installer, Freedom Maker.
You can grab those bits with git clone That code will install a minimum Debian box from which we can build upward! It requires a DreamPlug and a JTAG cable. This software is just a base Debian GNU/Linux install. It is aimed at sophisticated developers. We'll be adding services to future versions, but this is just a minimal base from which we can build. Image Several people have asked for an easy-to-install image that they can use to just flash the sd card in a DreamPlug: Remove the power supply and rubber feet from your FreedomBox.Remove the screws that were hidden by the rubber feet and open the device.Pull the sd card and insert it into your computer (perhaps using a USB dongle or sd adapter)Use dd to copy this image to the sd card (you'll have to uncompress it first)Reinsert the card and reassemble the boxBoot into your new system via JTAG or by putting it on your LAN and sshing to it.
Kurzweil Accelerating Intelligence. You don’t ‘own’ your own genes. CCourt-proposed molecular points of distinction that allow claims on isolated DNA sequences.
On the basis of two molecular changes (small circles) to a single phosphate and one hydroxyl group, the Federal Circuit suggested that a new DNA fragment is patentable subject matter. (Credit: Genome Medicine) Humans no longer “own” their own genes. The more than 40,000 patents on DNA molecules have allowed companies to essentially claim the entire human genome for profit, report two researchers. Their study, published March 25 in the journal Genome Medicine, raises an alarm about the loss of individual “genomic liberty.” The research team examined two types of patented DNA sequences: long and short fragments. Furthermore, the study’s lead author, Dr. “If these patents are enforced, our genomic liberty is lost,” says Dr. Court-proposed molecular points of distinction that allow claims on isolated DNA sequences.

James Bridle’s closing keynote from Web Directions South 2011 was a a terrific end to an amazing couple of days, but don’t despair if you weren’t there.
You can watch a full length video, or even read a transcript with the bonus of all the links James refers to. And if you want to be there next time around, make sure you are one of the first to hear about Web Directions South 2013! Transcript Thank you for having me. So it’s not actually the robot-readable world. It starts with this. They inhabit a very bizarre world. Sometimes you can see them looking back out at you, looking across this increasingly fuzzy border, this threshold. But mostly they stand and they look out. So what I’m going to talk today, obliquely, about is a project that I’ve been sort of accidentally engaged in for the last six months or so, to which I gave the name “The New Aesthetic,” which is a rubbish name but it seems to have taken hold.

Evans: Greetings from the Children of Planet Earth. In 1977, NASA sent a pair of unmanned probes named Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 into space.
Among the infrared spectrometers and radio receivers included on each probe were identical copies of the same non-scientific object: the Voyager Golden Record. Sheathed in a protective aluminum jacket, the Record is a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images chosen to portray the diversity of life on Earth: bird calls, whale songs, the sounds of surf, wind, and thunder, music from human cultures, and some 55 greetings in a range of languages, alive and dead.
Like lonely time capsules, the records, aboard their still-functioning hosts, have long since left our solar system. The official Voyager 2 Twitter reports that the probe is currently at 13 hrs 38 mins 08 secs of light-travel time from Earth, which makes it the farthest man-made object from Earth.
