Tampoco herir más sensibilidades de las necesarias. No vaya a ser que abortemos «las embrionarias subjetividades revolucionarias, reticulares, rizomáticas...» que puedan leernos. Que vaya usted a saber qué ocurriría si, tras leer este libro, actuasen ustedes como guevaristas de Internet. Imaginémonos practicando foquismo telemático, duran- te al menos media hora al día, desde el ordenador de la gran (o ridícula) corporación para la que trabajamos, haciéndole la Pascua. Por soñar que no falte y, por otra parte, nada más reaccionario que un agorero de lo que todavía no se ha intentado. Sin embargo, para disfrutar de cualquier recetario (aunque este libro no pretenda serlo) hay que reconocer qué es lo que se cocina y —sobre todo— para quién. No vaya a ser que al final montemos el tres estrellas Michelín del activismo más guay y no un comedor autogestionado para analfabetos funcionales de la Red, como yo... o casi. Pues reconozco mi escasa competencia informática. Apenas me da para procesar textos, intercambiar correos y «navegar» (con pulso bastante tem- blón y timón inseguro) por Internet. Los tres argumentos que aquí esgrimo parten de unas cuantas lec- turas sobre la materia y reflejan esa indigencia tecnológica, nimia si se compara con la de tantos para los que un ratón es sólo un bicho, una amenaza para la cosecha, un compañero de miseria. Desde mi ignorancia (por otra parte, opulencia), agra- dezco haber leído este libro: ahora creo saber más, para hacer y decir más con el ordenador. Necesito, sin embargo, que no se me vaya la olla ante tanto menú des- plegado en mi pantalla. Y, por eso, me doy unos cuantos toques, para aplacar la bulimia ciberguerrillera que me ha entrado. Por tanto, que ninguno de los autores se dé por aludido en exclusiva y todos (yo el primero) en general. Toda estrategia de futuro, desconectada del presente e ignorante del pasado, resulta tan triste como la «nuvel cusin» esa: llena los ojos y apenas enga- Ciberlibro 0001.qxp 31/05/2006 12:38 PÆgina 6 ña el estómago.

There are several people whom I would like to thank for accompanying and helping me along the way. First and foremost, I would like to thank my promotor, Andy Tanenbaum. While I was finishing up my master project under his supervision, he casually asked me “Would you like to be my Ph.D student?” during one of our meetings. I did not have to think long about the answer. Right from the start, he warned me that I would now have to conduct original research myself; only much later did I understand the full weight of this statement.

  • Bushnell Family Genealogy, 1945
    BUSHNELL FAMILY GENEALOGY Ancestry and Posterity of FRANCIS BUSHNELL (1580 - 1646) of Horsham, England And Guilford, Connecticut Including Genealogical Notes of other Bushnell Families, whose connections with this branch of the family tree have not been determined. Compiled and written by George Eleazer Bushnell Nashville, Tennessee 1945 Bushnell Genealogy 1 The sudden and untimely death of the family historian, George Eleazer Bushnell, of Nashville, Tennessee, who devoted so many years to the completion of this work, necessitated a complete change in its publication plans and we were required to start anew without familiarity with his painstaking work and vast acquaintance amongst the members of the family. His manuscript, while well arranged, was not yet ready for printing. It has therefore been copied, recopied and edited, However, despite every effort, prepublication funds have not been secured to produce the kind of a book we desire and which Mr. Bushnell's painstaking work deserves. His material is too valuable to be lost in some library's manuscript collection. It is a faithful record of the Bushnell family, more complete than anyone could have anticipated. Time is running out and we have reluctantly decided to make the best use of available funds by producing the "book" by a process of photographic reproduction of the typewritten pages of the revised and edited manuscript. The only deviation from the original consists in slight rearrangement, minor corrections, additional indexing and numbering. We are proud to thus assist in the compiler's labor of love. We are most grateful to those prepublication subscribers listed below, whose faith and patience helped make George Eleazer Bushnell's book thus available to the Bushnell Family.

Quirks Encountered 6. Concluding Notes 2 / 31 Who are you? My name is William Woodru. I'm a Computer Science major and Philosophy minor at the University of Maryland, College Park. Outside of school, I'm a member of the Homebrew project and a regular contributor to several open source groups. My work for Homebrew is largely concerned with the underlying system interface and reconciling OS X's intricacies/irregularities with the package manager. 3 / 31 What is Mach-O? Mach-O is the Mach Object binary format. Mach-O is used primarily by Apple in OS X and iOS. Apps on both platforms are really just directory trees containing Mach-O binaries and resources (fonts, icons, congurations). Metadata is stored in a number of places, but mainly within bundled plists (XML) and the binaries themselves. Like its cousins on Linux (ELF) and Windows (PE), Mach-O supports multiple object types: I Executable I Core dump I Shared library/object I Prelinked object le I etc. 4 / 31 . and multiple architectures: I m68k/m88k (yes, it's still supported!*) I x86 I AMD64 I POWER I ARMv6/7/8 Unlike ELF or PE, Mach-O has been extended to allow multi-architecture fat binaries. This has resulted in some interesting properties not shared by the other two. More on that later.

  • A Contemporary Exploration of Canadian Political Poetry in English
    POETS ON THE HILL POETS ON THE HILL: A CONTEMPORARY EXPLORATION OF CANADIAN POLITICAL POETRY IN ENGLISH By NICOLAS DESROCHES, HONOURS B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Nicolas DesRoches, September 2013 McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2013) Hamilton, Ontario (English) TITLE: Poets on the Hill: A Contemporary Exploration of Canadian Political Poetry in English AUTHOR: Nicolas DesRoches, Honours B.A. (York University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Jeffery Donaldson NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 124 ii Abstract In this thesis, I investigate Canadian poetry that is explicitly about the political (politicians, political parties, or political policies) written in English. As no research of this type has occurred previously, I begin by defining political poetry and its aims in Canada and then progress through an examination of three collections of poetry and one poem: The Blasted Pine ; Howl Too, Eh?; and Rogue Stimulus . This allows for a comprehensive look at how political poetry has evolved in Canada from a pointed and critical genre that aims to mock and argue to a more subtle, playful genre that utilizes parody and wit. It also demonstrates the evolution and complication of voice in political poetry, given that each poem contains not only the voice of the poet and the speaker, but also the public and the political. I argue that political poetry in Canada is not poetry as dissent, protest, or witness, but rather poetry as inquiry/commission (in the political sense). This definition relies on the fact that Canadian political poetry seeks to ascribe accountability for political actions and decisions and utilizes the poet as spokesperson, speaking for the public to the political (and the public in turn).
