En los últimos meses, ha estado de boca en boca un nombre: “Facebook”. Facebook es el nombre de un Sitio en la Internet que sirve de herramienta social para conectar gente ( www.facebook.com ). A este tipo de páginas es lo que se le llaman Sitios de Redes Sociales (SRS).

The Third International Forum on Free Knowledge was recently held in Maracaibo, Venezuela, bringing together many people interested in the development of free software worldwide. One reason Venezuela chose to host this event is that, in January 2006, their new free software law came into effect, which mandates that all government agencies migrate to free software over a two-year period.

Elbaum has done the left a great service in crafting this incisive history and analysis of the rise and demise of the preeminent revolutionary socialist political current that emerged from the radicalization of the 1960s, broadly definable as Maoist, which he calls the "New Communist Movement".

t is no secret that the US government funds dissident and "human rights" groups in Cuba. See, for example, the official USAID website. There you see budgeted items for groups such as Cuba Free Press and CubaNet (often the source of anti-Cuban "news" at the soc.culture.cuba news group). These items, even in themselves being several thousand times the average Cuban's annual income, are an enormous sum of money. Try to imagine the reaction of the FBI to an amount several thousand times the average American's annual income from a foreign government to subversive groups in the USA.
