Great book to read, freely available with a CC license.

The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wealth-Networks-Production-Transforms-Markets/dp/0300125771/
http://www.benkler.org/wealth_of_networks/

WARNING: this book, although advocating open source, creative
commons and collaborative (not colectivist) endeavours, is an
individualist, capitalist and neoliberal political manifesto. Do
not read if your collectivist mindset (right or left wing) cannot
be challenged and doing so would put at risk what mum and dad taught
you about politics (probably together with collectivist religion dogmas).

La para o fim:

“Ah e fiquei bastante preocupado com os teus comentarios, tou lixado
isto vindo de uma pessoa que acha que o python tem futuro, e de preocupar
realmente.”

Este caramelo hoje em dia quase que aposto que ou e um zelota do
Python ou entao, para nao engolir o sapo, e um fanatico de Ruby (on Rails,
claro). Um gajo cospe para o ar e depois a forca da gravidade…

Can steal each others dreams
From points that are unseen”

“Shall we set out across the sea of faces
In search of more and more applause?
Shall we buy a new guitar?”
