The Eleventh Plague- Jeff Hirsch LoudLit.org CWC Books : Evasion A 288 page novel-like narrative, Evasion is one person's travelogue of thievery and trespassing across the country, evading not only arrest, but also the 40-hour workweek and hopeless boredom of modern life. The journey documents a literal and metaphorical reclamation of an individual's life and the spaces surrounding them—scamming, squatting, dumpstering, train hopping and shoplifting a life worth living and a world worth the fighting for. “. . . then life began, and since then we remember each dumpster, abandoned house, and foot-chase by retail security. At night, after running around, plotting and scheming, our checklist items all crossed out, we paused to think—'What to do tomorrow?' and the answer was always, 'As we please . . .'” “Evasion offers many beautiful stories about surviving in voluntary squalor that are human and touching, yet liberatory and hopeful at the same time.” the insurgent, October 2001 Bad subjects , January/February 2001 “And the book is a pleasure to read.
Hackers (1995 Everlost - Neal Shusterman Everfound Review From Kirkus Reviews Shusterman ends his provocative trilogy with a rock-solid adventure that manages to examine deep questions of faith and morality. At the end of Everwild (2009), Nick the Chocolate Ogre had dissolved into a mass of chocolate pudding, Mary Hightower was asleep in a glass coffin waiting to be reborn, Allie the Outcast was strapped to the front of a runaway train and Mikey McGill (formerly the monstrous McGill) was searching for a way to rescue her. The adventures continue, with Mexican Afterlight Jix joining the cast of characters as a furjacker, slipping into the bodies of giant cats as he spies on Mary’s army for the Mayan King. Rich in detail, with exceptional characterization and shot through with unexpected (and very necessary) humor, this is an engrossing and thoroughly satisfying ending to a unique saga of life after death.

Hacktivism Overview[edit] Hacktivist activities span many political ideals and issues. Freenet is a prime example of translating political thought (anyone should be able to speak) into code. Hacktivism is a controversial term with several meanings. Controversy[edit] While some self-described hacktivists have engaged in DoS attacks, critics suggest that DoS attacks are an attack on free speech that they have unintended consequences.

Notable hacktivist events[edit] The earliest known instance of hacktivism as documented by Julian Assange is as follows:[15]Hacktivism is at least as old as October 1989 when DOE, HEPNET and SPAN (NASA) connected VMS machines world wide were penetrated by the anti-nuclear WANK worm.

INTRODUCTION - Themework ”The Hotel Mystery” I årskurs 5 läser vi just nu ”The Hotel Mystery”, eller ”Hotellmysteriet” av Martin Widmark. Vi analyserar innehåll, berättarteknik och upplägg. Och skriver sedan egna hotellmysterier i åtta kapitel. Så fokus ligger på att kunna skriva egna texter på engelska. Jag har läst ”The Hotel Mystery” flera gånger och kan berättelsen. LEKTION 1 Jag visar boken för eleverna och frågar o någon känner till Lasse Majas Detektivbyrå. LEKTION 2 Nu berättar jag att jag har ”snott” Widmarks upplägg och skrivit ett eget hotellmysterium som heter ”The Ellington Hotel Mystery” (klicka på länken för att läsa kapitel 1-3). LEKTION 3 Med hjälp av Widmarks och min egen storyboard gör eleverna nu egna storyboards. LEKTION 4 Nu är det dags att skriva första kapitlet. LEKTION 5 Vi jobbar vidare med Chapter 1 så att alla har kommit igång och förstått vad som ska finnas med i första kapitlet och hur det ska skrivas. FORTSÄTTNING FÖLJER… Vi kommer att skriva klart alla åtta kapitel innan jul.
Cypherpunks (book) Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet is a 2012 book by Julian Assange, in discussion with internet activists and cypherpunks Jacob Appelbaum, Andy Müller-Maguhn and Jérémie Zimmermann. Its primary topic is society's relationship with computer security. In the book, the authors warn that the Internet has become a tool of the police state and that the world is inadvertently heading toward a form of totalitarianism. They promote the use of cryptography to protect against state surveillance.[1] In the introduction, Assange describes the book as, "not a manifesto. The book is published by OR Books[4] Its content derives from discussions in June 2012 with Appelbaum, Müller-Maguhn and Zimmermann on Assange's TV show World Tomorrow.[5] [6] [7]
L.A. school iPad program: Students should hack their tablets. Photo by Thinkstock This article originally appeared in Zócalo Public Square and the New America Foundation’s Weekly Wonk. Future Tense is a partnership of Slate, the New America Foundation, and Arizona State University; Zócalo Public Square is a partnership of NAF and Arizona State. Last year, 40 tablet computers were delivered to the children of two remote Ethiopian villages. The villagers were 100 percent illiterate—the kids had never seen road signs, product labels, or printed material of any kind. Technicians from the One Laptop Per Child program dropped off a stack of boxes, showed a couple of adults how to use the solar chargers, and then walked away. So, frankly, it shouldn’t have come as much of a shock when a few hundred of the tech-drenched children of Los Angeles figured out how to “hack” the $678 iPads they were given by their school district, just one month into the new school year. L.A. One Laptop Per Child considered the Ethiopian kids’ hack a success.
