Technologie, éducation et liberté » Blog Archive » Les marchands du temple: La gratuité, un mot qui fait peur aux puissants. Denis Olivennes, le patron de la Fnac, devient membre de la mission d’études des moyens de lutte contre le téléchargement, mise en place par le gouvernement. En effet, son ouvrage La gratuité, c’est du vol, est dans la plus pure ligne idéologique du pouvoir en place. Nicolas Sarkozy a déclaré que « la gratuité tuait la culture« , et Valérie Pécresse, ministre de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche a déclaré le 24 juillet sur France Inter : « Ce qui est gratuit n’a pas de valeur. » La culture que veut le gouvernement est donc une culture basée sur le mercantilisme, une culture produite par l’industrie culturelle, étroitement contrôlée par les grands capitaux.
La Fnac, acteur majeur de cette industrie, aura donc son mot à dire dans les nouvelles dispositions du gouvernement pour casser du hacker, comme Vivendi avait son mot à dire dans l’élaboration de la loi DADVSI. Le pouvoir a donc pris fait et cause pour une culture mercantile. . . . Auteur: Deneb Source: AgoraVox. NCMR2008: Welcome. Derrick Jensen on Identification. DECODING THE FEMALE EXODUS FROM COMPUTING EDUCATION - Information, Communication & Society. 24/7 Wall St.: Washington Post (WPO) Internet Growth Too Slow. The Washington Post Company (WPO) put out its quarterly numbers today. Wall St. loved the figures and pusked the stock up over 6% to to $841. Net income fell to $69 million from $79 million in the quarter a year ago.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $1,046.8 million, up 8% from $969.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 The driver at the topline was the Kaplan education businesses which improved revenue by 23% to $503 million. Revenue at the company’s newspapers fell 7% to $228 million. Magazine revenue dropped 13% to $73 million. In an article run in Fortune last week, the magazine made the point that The Washington Post is banking on the internet to "save serious journalism.
" The new earnings report gives WPO a low grade in that arena. Not only is that a very small number relative to the size of the newspaper operation, but the revenue growth rate is very low. WPO shares may be up, but someone forgot to read the fine print. Douglas A. Washing. » Ownership and on-demand | Software as services | ZDNet.com. Misconceptions about the on-demand applications model are alive and well and were given a thorough airing by SAP blogger Jeff Nolan in An Open Letter to Phil Wainewright, which he wrote in response to my posting the other day about SAP's strategy around licensing.
It's quite astonishing to see just how far apart we are in our perceptionsRisks in the perpetual license model are often overlooked of the on-demand and on-premises models. Jeff takes me to task for what he calls 'errors' and what I would call self-evident truths. Clearly my work in explaining the nature of the on-demand model is far from finished. I'm going to home in on some points about ownership, because this seems to be the crux of the non-communication between myself and Jeff. I had argued that owning a perpetual software license is neither here nor there in relation to ownership of business processes.
Jeff vehemently disagreed: Internet Society (ISOC) All About The Internet: History of the Internet. We want your opinion: will the open Internet survive the next 10 years? Barry M. Leiner, Vinton G. Cerf, David D. Clark, Robert E. Kahn, Leonard Kleinrock, Daniel C. Lynch, Jon Postel, Larry G. Introduction The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world like nothing before. This is intended to be a brief, necessarily cursory and incomplete history. In this paper,3 several of us involved in the development and evolution of the Internet share our views of its origins and history. The Internet today is a widespread information infrastructure, the initial prototype of what is often called the National (or Global or Galactic) Information Infrastructure. Origins of the Internet The first recorded description of the social interactions that could be enabled through networking was a series of memos written by J.C.R.
Leonard Kleinrock at MIT published the first paper on packet switching theory in July 1961 and the first book on the subject in 1964. Proving the Ideas.
