Everywhere else biologists have studied life on our planet, they’ve found communities of life, but today, biologists announced they have discovered an ecosystem that contains just a single species of bacteria. www.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/10/one-organism-ec/ 1/32 3/19/14 One-Organism Ecosystem Discovered in African Gold Mine - Wired Science In all other known ecosystems, the key functions of life — harvesting energy and elements like carbon and nitrogen from the environment — have been shared among different species. But in the water of the Mponeng gold mine, two miles under the earth’s surface, Desulforudis audaxviator carries out all of those functions by itself. In short, it’s the tidiest package of life found yet. "It is possible to pack everything necessary for maintaining life into one genome," said Dylan Chivian of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. All known life forms need carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and an energy source to live. Plants need nitrogen, but can’t just pull it from the atmosphere and start using it to make amino acids. Instead, they rely on archaea for that task. Interconnections like these form the basis of an ecosystem, often cheesily called the ‘web of life’.

UNDERWOOD has been approved for the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the College of Arts and Sciences by Howard T. Welser Assistant Professor of Sociology Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT UNDERWOOD, PATRICK C., M.A., June 2009, Sociology New Directions in Networked Activism and Online Social Movement Mobilization: The Case of Anonymous and Project Chanology (242 pp.) Director of Thesis: Howard T. Welser The present study explores the structural aspects of online communities and the potential of online communications technologies for social movement mobilization. This is accomplished through an examination of the online collective known as Anonymous and this group’s social movement activism targeted against the Church of Scientology. The research is primarily concerned with answering questions of how the social structural contexts of Anonymous as an online community influenced the growth and development of Project Chanology, how Anonymous is able to establish insider status and group boundaries without access to traditional markers of identity, and what, if any, form of leadership developed within Chanology. To answer these questions, a hybrid methodology consisting of a qualitative case study and network analysis is developed.

    Sauter DDOS Activism Thesis May 2013

    DISTRIBUTED DENIAL OF SERVICE ACTIONS AND THE CHALLENGE OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE ON THE INTERNET By Molly Sauter Submitted to the Program in Comparative Media Studies/Writing on May 17, 2013 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Comparative Media Studies ABSTRACT This thesis examines the history, development, theory, and practice of distributed denial of service actions as a tactic of political activism. DDOS actions have been used in online political activism since the early 1990s, though the tactic has recently attracted significant public attention with the actions of Anonymous and Operation Payback in December 2010. Guiding this work is the overarching question of how civil disobedience and disruptive activism can be practiced in the current online space. The internet acts as a vital arena of communication, self expression, and interpersonal organizing. When there is a message to convey, words to get out, people to organize, many will turn to the internet as the zone of that activity. Online, people sign petitions, investigate stories and rumors, amplify links and videos, donate money, and show their support for causes in a variety of ways. But as familiar and widely accepted activist tools—petitions, fundraisers, mass letter-writing, call-in campaigns and others—find equivalent practices in the online space, is there also room for the tactics of disruption and civil disobedience that are equally familiar from the realm of street marches, occupations, and sit-ins? This thesis grounds activist DDOS historically, focusing on early deployments of the tactic as well as modern instances to trace its development over time, both in theory and in practice.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. CHAPTER SIX LOIC will tear us apart: DDoS tool development and design In activist DDoS actions, the tool used sets the first level of community, literally serving as the collective launch point for the action. Participants will often all use one tool or one of a family of tools recommended by the organizers. Though there have been several different tools used during these actions, some ad hoc, some more polished, the two most notable tools for activist DDoS actions have been the EDT ’ s FloodNet tool, and Anonymous ’ LOIC. Because both these tools were released open source, other groups in the case of FloodNet and participants within the Anonymous collective in the case of LOIC were able to progressively adapt these tools for the needs of any given action. This adaptability extended the life and influence of these tools past the initial actions they were developed for. Through being adopted and adapted by other groups, individuals, and actions, the successive versions of these tools act as a connective string of influence, as the technological affordances, design assumptions, specific functionalities, and interface choices impact each new action that uses them.

    DIGITALISM: TOWARDS A THEORY OF DIGITAL RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION by JARED CHAMBERS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2011 Copyright © by Jared Chambers 2011 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr. Cedrick May, for providing concise and helpful insights in the finalization of my thesis. Thanks also go out to both committee readers, Dr. Kevin Porter and Dr. Tim Richardson, for their opinions and thoughts and knowledge; they have provided me with even more ideas and topics to consider for my ongoing scholarly work and the application of my theories. I would also like to thank Dr. Carolyn Guertin for her guidance and support during my studies. Above all, I would like to thank my parents, Stan and Pam Chambers, for their endless support and belief in my dreams. November 2, 2011 iii ABSTRACT DIGITALISM: TOWARDS THEORIES OF DIGITAL RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION Jared Chambers, M.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2011 Supervising Professor: Cedrick May In this thesis, I argue that the text and the textual are inherently digital and, thus, have properties that are information theoretic in origin. From that premise, I use an interdisciplinary approach to construct a theory for the reading and deconstruction of digital works and their viewers, which I then use to form a method for the analysis, composition, and reading of texts “digitally.” The first two chapters introduce the relation of digital philosophy and information theory to textual works, which leads into the third chapter’s ontology of digital works and their audience.
