Hardware: The Definitive SF Works of Chris Foss by Chris Foss Pdf

Foss’s groundbreaking and distinctive science fiction art revolutionized paperback covers in the 1970s and 80s. Dramatically raising the bar for realism and invention, his trademark battle-weary spacecraft, dramatic alien landscapes and crumbling brutalist architecture irrevocably changed the aesthetic of science fiction art and cinema. Featuring work for books by Isaac Asimov, E. E. ‘Doc’ Smith, Arthur C. Clarke, A. E. Van Vogt and Philip K. Dick, and film design for Ridley Scott and Stanley Kubrick, this volume brings together many rare and classic images that have never been seen or reprinted before. The first comprehensive retrospective of Chris Foss’s SF career. “Chris Foss’ name has become pre-eminent among sf artists... He is in love with the monstrous, with angular momentum, with inertia-free projectiles and irresistable objects.” — Brian Aldiss “[Foss’] creations are real machines, not just an artist’s dreams. They combine the two elements so essential to science fiction: realism and a sense of wonder... A medieval goldsmith of future eons.” — Alejandro Jodorowsky

Coding Freedom by E. Gabriella Coleman Pdf

Who are computer hackers? What is free software? And what does the emergence of a community dedicated to the production of free and open source software--and to hacking as a technical, aesthetic, and moral project--reveal about the values of contemporary liberalism? Exploring the rise and political significance of the free and open source software (F/OSS) movement in the United States and Europe, Coding Freedom details the ethics behind hackers' devotion to F/OSS, the social codes that guide its production, and the political struggles through which hackers question the scope and direction of copyright and patent law. In telling the story of the F/OSS movement, the book unfolds a broader narrative involving computing, the politics of access, and intellectual property. E. Gabriella Coleman tracks the ways in which hackers collaborate and examines passionate manifestos, hacker humor, free software project governance, and festive hacker conferences. Looking at the ways that hackers sustain their productive freedom, Coleman shows that these activists, driven by a commitment to their work, reformulate key ideals including free speech, transparency, and meritocracy, and refuse restrictive intellectual protections. Coleman demonstrates how hacking, so often marginalized or misunderstood, sheds light on the continuing relevance of liberalism in online collaboration.

Foss Man by Keith Fossey Pdf

Foss Man, highly sensitive fifteen-year-old Luke Foster, was routinely putting his bike in the remote storage shed when he walked in on Ron Ferguson, the notorious 230-pound town bully, who was violently raping Catherine, his screaming petite eighteen-year-old sister. With blind rage running through his veins, Luke impulsively grabbed a baseball bat and rushed the unsuspecting giant from behind and viciously pummeled the back of his head. The medical examiner pronounced the seventeen-year-old Ferguson dead at the scene a short time later. Eleven years earlier, Luke (Foss Man) had blamed himself for letting his two-year-old sister Carol drown when she slipped from his frozen hands and was thrown overboard from their grandpa's fishing boat during his desperate attempt to save the Foster family from the worst storm and spring flood in decades. Coupled with the built-in insecurities related to the Foster family's financial struggles, Carol's tragic death was the first of a sequence of traumatic episodes that undermined Luke's natural fun-loving free spirit and produced endless long nights filled with torturous nightmares. His exceptional performance in the classroom and athletic prowess helped level the playing field, but all that was countered when he was the persistent victim of bullying at the hands of the infamous Ferguson boy. Seizing the golden opportunity to make a name for himself, the young and ambitious county attorney was convinced Luke's drastic actions in the shed that day were totally unjustified and simply provoked by the history of bad blood between the two childhood rivals. The immediately attorney filed manslaughter charges against the confused and badly shaken teenager. The sensational nature of the circumstances surrounding the pending trial created an unprecedented ambush of reporters and cameramen from the local and national media. The once proud and pristine small farming community of Jefferson, Iowa, would never be quite the same. Pitting the two proud and determined brilliant young legal minds in the same courtroom before the residing strict, no-nonsense Judge Cooper, the stage was set for the inevitable fireworks for what proved to be the most spectacular trial in Wright County history.

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and other Alternative License Models by Axel Metzger Pdf

This book discusses the main legal questions raised by free and open source software (FOSS) licenses and other alternative license models, such as Creative Commons. The legal questions raised by FOSS and other alternative licenses have been the subject of an intense international debate among legal scholars and practising lawyers in the last years. Courts in different jurisdictions have confirmed that the core features of FOSS licenses are compliant with the respective applicable laws and thus enforceable in the respective jurisdictions. What is still missing so far is an in-depth comparative analysis of the legal issues raised by FOSS, Creative Commons and other alternative license on a worldwide scale. This book presents a general report on FOSS licenses and alternative license models to establish common ground and enable comparison between jurisdictions. The general report is followed by 24 national reports covering the world's most important IT-markets. General and national reports use the same structure to facilitate the comparison. The book shows that despite the differences in their origins, all FOSS projects use detailed licenses for the organisation of their communities. It also shows the differences in the proofing of these licenses by courts in some jurisdictions and the tailor-made provisions established by some legislators to solve the legal issues raised by the license model.
