![]() ![]() Let's face it: linus did what he did because he enjoyed hacking. interesting as it is, it is not a life changing insight, nor is really anything else in the book. Linus does reveal a few philosophical thoughts- not just on open source, mind you. it also wasn't overused to the point of being annoying, which it certainly could have been. ![]() The switching back and forth between linus and david was interesting and added a little extra perspective. i'm also not entirely disturbed that the book wasn't entirely composed of them. i wouldn't have liked it as much without them. the pithy technical bits at the beginning were great. In the end, i enjoyed the fact that the book made the legendary linus unremarkably human. despite this, he still has less-than-favorable things to say about gates, jobs, stallman, and tanenbaum, to name a few, which is good for a few laughs. There's a resiliency and an honesty to him i really like, even if he seems to try to avoid every argument. ![]() heck, linux wouldn't exist if he hadn't accidentially tried to dial the university of helsinki through /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/tty1. in the end, linus is just another guy with flaws just like anyone else. i had the notion of the "rockstar" shattered many moons ago. i went into it expecting a certain character to linus and finding a totally different one. ![]()

![]() His dad, the late duke, was on his sixth (and much younger wife) when Temple got black-out drunk at the pre-wedding festivities. Temple believes he may have killed his father's fiance. Like the other four founders of the Fallen Angel, he's also scarred. He's quite scary in a delicious sort of way. Temple is big and imposing and has tattoos. If any member of the club loses their entire fortune, they can win it all back by beating Temple in the ring so far no one has accomplished this. Temple, known as the Killer Duke, is a bare-knuckles boxing champion. All three books center around a gaming hell called the Fallen Angel. No Good Duke Goes Unpunished was my favorite of the three books due primarily to the awesomeness of the hero and heroine. ![]() It was everything I love in a historical romance without the overused tropes flooding the market. I was intrigued by the idea of a story set in a gaming hell (casino) since I've reached my Regency/ballroom saturation point. I started this series after listening to Sarah's interview with MacLean on the podcast. ![]() ![]() Instead I spent almost the entire weekend on the couch reading the Rules of Scoundrels series by Sarah MacLean. I had lots of things to do this weekend: I had Christmas cookies to bake, presents to wrap, pictures of Matt Bomer to Google. ![]() ![]() ![]() MMT gives us the power to imagine a new politics and a new economy and move from a narrative of scarcity to one of opportunity. With its important new ways of understanding money, taxes, and the critical role of deficit spending, MMT redefines how to responsibly use our resources so that we can maximize our potential as a society. MMT, as Kelton shows, shifts the terrain from narrow budgetary questions to one of broader economic and social benefits. Kelton busts through the myths that prevent us from taking action: that the federal government should budget like a household, that deficits will harm the next generation, crowd out private investment, and undermine long-term growth, and that entitlements are propelling us toward a grave fiscal crisis. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country. Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. ![]() The leading thinker and most visible public advocate of modern monetary theory - the freshest and most important idea about economics in decades - delivers a radically different, bold, new understanding for how to build a just and prosperous society. ![]() ![]() His only ally is Hild, a West Saxon nun fleeing her calling, and his best hope is his sword, with which he has made a formidable reputation as a warrior.

Engels located the origin of property in the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture. Like the Utopian socialists before him, Engels imagined the end of the state and the coming of a communal equality, but the barrier is property. In 1884 Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) wrote The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State. Property was the cause of the fall of the human raced from grace. Almost without exception, from Rousseau to Hobbs, property was the equivalent to the apple in the Garden of Eden. For centuries, philosophers had been trying to determine the origin of property. ![]() ![]() To get started finding Uploady, you are right to find our website which has a comprehensive collection of manuals listed.
