<nettime> the hacker class |
Whew - At least we know where bill gates stands now. >_________________________________________________________________ >Join the world's largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. >http://www.hotmail.com By ken's defintion of the hacker class - folks like gates, sam cohen, jimmy barksdale, heck, even dick cheney (or are oil men out?), and dan flynn are part and parcel of the hacker class - producers, engineers, tinkerers. That's a mighty tough contradiction to overcome in any class analysis, no matter who's book you go by. I'd say the hacker class has done pretty well for itself already, but they tended to favor the vectoralist position. Or how many shares does it take to turn a hacker into a vector? Maybe we are _all_ hackers and we don't know it, but _they_ found out first. cheers, diana # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
