Takers Economy : An Inquiry Into Illegal File Sharing

Takers Economy : An Inquiry Into Illegal File Sharing by Christopher Stewart

Takers Economy : An Inquiry Into Illegal File Sharing

by Christopher Stewart

Over the last decade or so, file sharing has become a widespread phenomenon. As much as having the possibility of exchanging information almost instantaneously can represent a blessing in terms of communication and progress, it obviously opens the door to pursuits that enjoy a far less angelic reputation.

Still, the overall picture suggests that a significant number of internet users participate in such ill-famed activities. Considering this state of affairs, could illegal file sharing actually be a positive process for those downloaders, and for the collectivity alike ?

The question is generally approached from the angle of its economic impacts, but there is evidently more to the issue than its pecuniary dimension.

Takers Economy proposes an alternative look at illegal file sharing in light of the role of art in society, and in the context of the oneness of all beings and things.

In addition, the inquiry explores the global picture from which the circumstances emerge, and attempts to characterize the underlying culture that gives rise to them.

Finally, the essay introduces a philosophy of endosymbiotism that aims to foster attitudes and behaviours that accord with the ethics of the inherent unseparateness of being.

Art of War once Moore

Art of War once Moore by Sander R.B.E. Beals

Art of War once Moore

by Sander R.B.E. Beals

Not exactly the sequel to ‘Infinity plus One’, but still one to jolt your mind. As the Moore in the title indicates, it has to do with Gordon Moore’s intriguing exponential forecast where it pertains to computers. Loosely based on the Art of War by Sun Tzu, it hands us arguments pro and con on whether the Man / Machine standoff will turn into a war or not, and if so, who will be victorious…..

All of this linked with the ‘new way of thinking’ introduced in Infinity plus One. And yes, being wrong isn’t the problem. It’s what you do with that afterwards……

Mr. Neighborly’s Humble Little Ruby Book

Mr. Neighborly's Humble Little Ruby Book by Jeremy McAnally

Mr. Neighborly’s Humble Little Ruby Book

by Jeremy McAnally

There is a little bit of introductory stuff we need to talk about before we set you loose on Ruby. You wouldn’t want to get psyched about a new gadget, get it home, and then figure out you need batteries, a grapefruit, and the ability to speak three languages to even open the box would you? You would? Well then answer me this: How would Ruby react to large, elastic monsters taking over an estuary? You don’t know the answer!? Well, plainly we need to take a good, hard look at a few things before we turn you loose.

Ruby is an open-source, multi-paradigm, interpreted programming language (a bit of a mouthful I know! I’m going to explain it, I promise!). Ruby was created by Yukihiro ‘Matz’ Matsumoto, a very fine Japanese gentleman who currently resides in Shimane Prefecture, Japan; Matz’s work on the language was started on February 24, 1993 (commonly considered the birthday of the language; I hear that over in Japan they roll out a two-story cake and sing) and released to the public in 1995. Ruby is often hailed as one the most expressive and concise languages available to developers today. In that spirit of expressiveness, let’s look at exactly what it all means. Let us now eviscerate these verbal furbelows with conviction!
