The Fifth HOPE Artwork
Topic: Cyber-Culture 9:18 pm EDT, Jul 16, 2004

Here is a collection of all the artwork from HOPE for your printing and distributing needs. It turns out that the creepy Ready.gov posters weren't fake. The site that distributes them is linked from here. Now, if only they had a link for the almost funny if they weren't real "Republicans are coming, make nice" posters that were hung up on the lamp posts down the street.

USATODAY.com - Hackers have HOPE

] "If you're 15 and angry at your dad, you want to go and
] break something. But the biggest part of hacking is
] creation," notes "Acidus," a speaker at a Friday panel on
] intellectual property and technology.

The line that got be the biggest applause was "Do you think Marconi and Tesla could have built the radio if the telegraph was a little black box you couldn't open? We are selling out our future inventors and innovators for the short terms profits of the RIAA."

The RIAA makes everyone a cypherpunk
Topic: Cyber-Culture 5:27 am EST, Dec 19, 2003

In response to the RIAA's suits, users who want to share music files are adopting tools like WINW and BadBlue, that allow them to create encrypted spaces where they can share files and converse with one another. As a result, all their communications in these spaces, even messages with no more commercial content than "BRITN3Y SUX!!!1!" are hidden from prying eyes. This is not because such messages are sensitive, but rather because once a user starts encrypting messages and files, it's often easier to encrypt everything than to pick and choose. Note that the broadening adoption of encryption is not because users have become libertarians, but because they have become criminals; to a first approximation, every PC owner under the age of 35 is now a felon.

Another great essay by Clay Shirky, linked via vigilant.tv.

] The Chasing Bush campaign is asking people to "disrupt the
] PR" of the visit by spoiling stage-managed photos.
]
] They are being encouraged to send location reports and
] images by mobile to be posted on the Chasing Bush site.

Flash mobs use internet to track Bush's location. The angry mob threat model ain't just for cryptanalysis anymore.

Why Jason Scott doesn't run a BBS.
Topic: Cyber-Culture 2:13 am EDT, Oct 17, 2003

] The reason that I have over 700 BBS programs listed on
] the documentary site is not just because there were so
] many platforms to program them, but because the balance
] of the software and the hardware against the very root of
] humanity's nature is a problem, a difficulty, far deeper
] and greater than any specific issues of the moment.

Latest post from Jason Scott on the BoingBoing sidebar waxes about his big picture conclusions about the BBS scene.
