Libre comme dans Liberté Un hacker est quelqu©un qui apprécie l©intelligence espiègle. Je sais que pour beaucoup de personnes il représente un pirate informatique, mais puisqu©au sein de ma communauté nous nous appelons « hacker » je n©accepterai aucune autre signification. Si vous voulez parler de ces personnes qui cassent les codes de sécurité vous devriez parler de « cracker ». Le terme « hacker » ne se limite pas au domaine des ordinateurs. Au Massachusetts Institute of Technology il existe une ancienne tradition, les gens « hackent » les bâtiments et les lieux publics en y accrochant le fameux panneau de signalisation « Nerd Crossing » par exemple. Aucune sécurité n©est détournée et c©est espiègle et intelligent. Richard M.

Ce livre est licencié sous la GNU Free Documentation License. Il fut initialement publié en ligne et imprimé par O©Reilly and Associates en 2002. Cette traduction peut être consultée en ligne à l©adresse http://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Libre_comme_Liberté Préface L©úuvre de Richard M. Stallman parle d©elle-même. Du code source documenté aux publications et aux discours enregistrés, peu de gens ont montré tant de volonté à mettre en jeu leur pensée et leur travail. Une telle ouverture Ð si l'on peut excuser momentanément un tel adjectif non-stallmanien Ð est rafraîchissante. Après tout, nous vivons dans une société qui considère l'information, notamment personnelle, comme une chose de valeur. On peut effectivement se demander pour quelle raison quelqu©un voudrait donner autant d'informations et sembler ne rien demander en retour! Comme nous le verrons dans les chapitres suivants, Stallman ne partage pas ses mots ou son travail de façon altruiste. Chaque programme, discours et bon mot enregistré a un prix, mais, dans son genre, pas celui que nous avons l©habitude de payer. Je n'avance pas cela comme un avertissement, mais comme un postulat. Ayant passé cette dernière année à déterrer des éléments de l'histoire personnelle de Stallman, il est plutôt intimidant d'aller à l'encontre de l'úuvre de Stallman. « Ne choisis pas comme adversaire un homme qui achète son encre par tonneau », dit le vieil adage de Mark Twain. Dans le cas de Stallman : ne t©attaque pas à la biographie définitive d'un homme qui confie sa pensée au domaine public. Pour les lecteurs qui ont décidé de consacrer quelques heures de leur temps à explorer ce livre, je peux en confiance affirmer qu©il y a ici des faits et des citations qu'on ne trouve dans nulle histoire de Slashdot ou recherche de Google. Cependant, avoir accès à ces informations a un prix. Concernant la version papier, vous pouvez payer pour celle-ci de la façon traditionnelle, c'est-à-dire en achetant le livre. Dans le cas des versions électroniques, vous pouvez payer pour ces informations à la façon des logiciels libres. Grâce aux gens de O'Reilly & Associates, ce livre est distribué sous la Licence de Documentation Libre de GNU, ce qui signifie que vous pouvez aider à améliorer le travail ou créer une version personnalisée et la publier sous la même licence. Si vous lisez une version électronique et préférez accepter cette dernière option de paiement, c'est-à- dire si vous voulez améliorer ou compléter ce livre pour les lecteurs futurs, votre contribution est la bienvenue. À partir de juin 2002, je vais publier une version HTML de ce livre sur le site web http://www.faifzilla.org. Mon but est de le mettre à jour régulièrement et de compléter le récit de "Free as in freedom" au fur et à mesure des évènements. Si vous choisissez cette dernière solution, consultez s'il vous plaît l'annexe C de ce livre. Elle contient une copie de vos droits sous la Licence de Documentation Libre de GNU. Pour ceux dont l'intention est seulement de s'asseoir et de lire, en ligne ou autrement, je considère votre intérêt comme une forme de paiement ayant tout autant de valeur. Ne soyez pas surpris cependant, si, vous aussi, vous vous surprenez à chercher d'autres façons de récompenser la bonne volonté qui a rendu ce travail possible. Une dernière remarque : ceci est un travail de journalisme, mais c'est également un travail de documentation technique. Au cours du travail d'écriture et d'édition de ce livre, les éditeurs et moi-même avons évalué les commentaires et les faits apportés par les différents participants de l'histoire, y compris Richard Stallman en personne. Nous avons pris conscience que de nombreux détails techniques de l'histoire pourraient bénéficier d'informations complémentaires ou affinées. Comme cet ouvrage est publié sous la LDLG[1], nous acceptons les patchs comme nous le ferions pour n'importe quel logiciel libre. Les modifications acceptées seront envoyées électroniquement et finalement incorporées dans les futures versions imprimées de cet ouvrage.

Merci à tous les relecteurs du premier essai : Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, Eric Allman, Jon Orwant, Julie et Gerald Jay Sussman, Hal Abelson et Guy Steele. J'espère que vous appréciez cette version exempte de coquilles. Merci à Alice Lippman pour les interviews, les cookies, et les photographies. Merci à ma famille, Steve, Jane, Tish et Dave. Et enfin, le dernier mais pas le moindre : merci à Richard Stallman pour avoir eu les tripes et la persévérance de « nous montrer le code ». Sam Williams Notes 1.

  • Developing and Benchmarking Native Linux Applications on Android
    Developing and Benchmarking Native Linux Applications on Android Leonid Batyuk, Aubrey-Derrick Schmidt, Hans-Gunther Schmidt, Ahmet Camtepe, and Sahin Albayrak Technische Universit¨at Berlin, 10587 Berlin, Germany {aubrey.schmidt,leonid.batyuk,hans-gunther.schmidt,ahmet.camtepe, sahin.albayrak}@dai-labor.de http://www.dai-labor.de Abstract. Smartphones get increasingly popular where more and more smartphone platforms emerge. Special attention was gained by the open source platform Android which was presented by the Open Handset Al- liance (OHA) hosting members like Google, Motorola, and HTC. An- droid uses a Linux kernel and a stripped-down userland with a custom Java VM set on top. The resulting system joins the advantages of both environments, while third-parties are intended to develop only Java ap- plications at the moment. In this work, we present the benefit of using native applications in Android. Android includes a fully functional Linux, and using it for heavy computational tasks when developing applications can bring in substantional performance increase. We present how to develop native applications and software components, as well as how to let Linux appli- cations and components communicate with Java programs. Additionally, we present performance measurements of native and Java applications executing identical tasks. The results show that native C applications can be up to 30 times as fast as an identical algorithm running in Dalvik VM. Java applications can become a speed-up of up to 10 times if utilizing JNI. Keywords: software, performance, smartphones, android, C, Java. 1 Introduction With the growing customer interest in smartphones the number of available platforms increases steadily.

Indeed, transitioning In modern server CPUs, individual cores can run at different a core from a low to a high frequency, or conversely, has an frequencies, which allows for fine-grained control of the per- FTL of dozens to hundreds of milliseconds. FTL leads to a formance/energy tradeoff. Adjusting the frequency, however, problem of frequency inversion in scenarios that are typical incurs a high latency. We find that this can lead to a problem of the use of the standard POSIX fork() and wait() system of frequency inversion, whereby the Linux scheduler places calls on process creation, or of synchronization between a newly active thread on an idle core that takes dozens to hun- lightweight threads in a producer-consumer application.

  • Hacking the Economy and the State: Towards An
    1 Toni Prug Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. 2013 2 Abstract This research starts with hackers’ communities, focusing on open processes as the key to volunteer driven cooperation. While theoretically hackers’ communities allow contributions “from each according to their ability”, I argue the inequalities continuously reproduced by capitalism hinder developments towards such production by placing socially created limits on allocation, understood as “to everyone according to their needs”. My thesis is the following: workers’ struggles and political organizations have made decisive contributions to the construction of another form of wealth creation. We can see examples of this in socialist states and in the public sector in capitalist states, where production and allocated occurs primarily to meet needs. I call this the egalitarian mode of production. Two modes, two standpoints – the capitalist and the egalitarian one – struggle to expand against each other: while the public sector introduces products to meet needs directly, capital strives to privatize everything it can – using commodities and markets. For capital, commodities are necessary for the realization of surplus value. For workers, it is provision according to needs, the outcomes, and the growth of equality, where wealth is realized. Aiming towards the full development of human capacities of all, from this developmental-egalitarian perspective, I propose to broaden the category of those who work to include: future workers (children, youth, students), former workers (pensioners, the elderly), the informal (household labourers, care workers), formal unwaged workers (interns, volunteers) and those deprived of an opportunity to work (the disabled, unemployed, and undocumented migrants).

    Essential Linux Device Drivers by Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran Publisher: Prentice Hall Pub Date: March 27, 2008 Print ISBN-10: 0-13-239655-6 Print ISBN-13: 978-0-13-239655-4 Pages: 744 Table of Contents | Index Overview "Probably the most wide ranging and complete Linux device driver book I've read." --Alan Cox, Linux Guru and Key Kernel Developer "Very comprehensive and detailed, covering almost every single Linux device driver type." --Theodore Ts'o, First Linux Kernel Developer in North America and Chief Platform Strategist of the Linux Foundation The Most Practical Guide to Writing Linux Device Drivers Linux now offers an exceptionally robust environment for driver development: with today's kernels, what once required years of development time can be accomplished in days. In this practical, example-driven book, one of the world's most experienced Linux driver developers systematically demonstrates how to develop reliable Linux drivers for virtually any device. Essential Linux Device Drivers is for any programmer with a working knowledge of operating systems and C, including programmers who have never written drivers before. Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran focuses on the essentials, bringing together all the concepts and techniques you need, while avoiding topics that only matter in highly specialized situations. Venkateswaran begins by reviewing the Linux 2.6 kernel capabilities that are most relevant to driver developers. He introduces simple device classes; then turns to serial buses such as I2C and SPI; external buses such as PCMCIA, PCI, and USB; video, audio, block, network, and wireless device drivers; user-space drivers; and drivers for embedded Linux–one of today's fastest growing areas of Linux development.

  • Software Libero Pensierolibero
    RICHARD STALLMAN SOFTWARE LIBERO PENSIERO LIBERO VOLUME PRIMO Raramuri Sono super-maratoneti, detengono ogni record mondiale di corsa dai 100 km in su, ma vivono nell’anonimato e nella povertà più profondi nella Sierra Madre del Messico del Nord. Sono gli indios Tarahumara, una tribù dimen- ticata dai bianchi, da essi considerati il diavolo, e dal loro stesso Dio. Si sono dati un nome poetico, Raramuri, «piedi che corrono», perché su queste lun- ghissime distanze volano come se volessero salire al cielo. Non c’è nessuno che li batta, perché per loro i piedi sono delle ali. Vivono di agricoltura e di una strana caccia, quella ai cervi, non con l’arco e le frecce ma coi piedi, la loro unica arma: sfiancano gli animali correndo loro dietro giorni e giorni, finché la preda non si abbatte esausta. Roba da leggenda... Ennio Caretto “Corriere della Sera” - 31/07/2002 Foto di copertina: Kerth Dannemiller (Corriere della Sera) Introduzione Un esperimento globale per l’affermazione della libertà Offrire al mondo programmi informatici che possano essere liberamente usati e copiati, modificati e distribuiti, gratis o a pagamento. Questa la scommessa lanciata nell’ormai lontano 1984 da Richard Matthew Stallman. Qualcosa (apparentemente) impossibile perfino a concepir- si, in un’epoca in cui informatica era (ed è) sinonimo di monopoli, pro- duzioni industriali, mega-coporation. Un approccio tanto semplice quanto rivoluzionario, il concetto stesso di software libero, che ci ripor- ta finalmente con i piedi per terra. E la cui pratica quotidiana è ispi- rata a un principio anch’esso basilare ma troppo spesso dimenticato: la libera condivisione del sapere, qui e ora, la necessità di (ri)prendere in mano la libertà individuale di creare, copiare, modificare e distribui- re qualsiasi prodotto dell’ingegno umano.
