scary functionality from RIAA

got a Mac? like me? you idiot!

look this…

I got an mp3 from a friend, on skype, and it was directly tracked and iconed by the filemanager. Iconed? Yes… the filemanager has immediately searched on the internet for the album it was belonging to and has added the proper album image to it. How can it do it? Simple, digging the ID3 tags present in the audio file. I wonder who else can know that my filesystem has requested those informations…

privacy… something unknown to lots of people,
and companies, RIAA in primis

+ + + [update this morning]

@Carlo: fuck you! I was so fucking scared… @All: the icon was embedded by iTunes at the source, so no fear (maybe…) 😀

how to avoid Malpensa

An airport in the middle of nothing (I have to rent a car everytime I go to my parents) and with a fucking crowded city (Milan) on the way to…

…so, thanks to the management of Airberlin which decided to move the flight DUS / BGY to DUS / MXP … I had to search for an alternative to fly to Orio al Serio (BGY)… and I found it, at the end.

I’ll fly from Bruxelles Charleroi (CRL). Why not Weeze? Because it is useless in business time hours.

p.s. forget to park at Malpensa (MXP) … they’ll try to fuck you in the best italian style

p.s.(2) I just booked a flight for tomorrow morning (saturday)… here is the cost of the parking (with no hidden jokes!!!)

cambio descrizione // disclaimer

in modo che la gente capisca che cosa sta per leggere su questo blog

e’ un blog politico,
per cui non rompetemi i coglioni,
sapete a che andate incontro leggendomi

I change the description under my name and surname at the head of the website, to warn my reader, as they are going to read things not only about technology but also about politics… italian politics… I’m a very angry italian, gone abroad, to escape from a fucking country, as stated by the last political vote: “a country populated by piece of shit or at least idiots easily adjective through the media”

Scuola Diaz, G8 Genova 2008

non voglio piu’ saperne del mio paese, non e’ piu’ un paese civile, e’ un paese con dei pezzi di merda al governo e nelle istituzioni… ecco la trascrizione di un articolo del Guardian scritto il 18 Luglio 2008 da uno dei giornalista che, purtroppo per lui, era presente alla carneficina della scuola Diaz, avvenuta ad opera delle forze dell’ordine durante il G8 di Genova nel 2001 : Macellerie messicane

p.s. le ultime dall’Italia… http://purorealizzo.blogspot.com/, http://veronacritica.blogspot.com/

la cosa che piu’ mi fa avvilire e’ che non posso neppure girare tali articoli a mia madre, che ritengo una persona colta… li rifiuterebbe di leggere, perche’ non vengono da fonti che lei ritiene ufficiali (oramai dice che ce l’ho con Berlusconi per partito preso)

the english version of the article,
for my friends and colleagues abroad: The bloody battle of Genoa

the only thing I can say is… sorry 😦
… not all the italians are like those fascists that did that massacre

facebooking

I’m here with a friend of mine, in Duesseldorf for the weekend. We were considering our ex-collegues of university when we started… quite all of them, at least who we found on facebook, are gone abroad. Few of them are still in Italy. They are all software, electronic or telecommunication engineers… We are preparing the best tecnicians in the world and them we let them go because there is no market in Italy.

Well done… 😦

updates from italian “politics”

Un blogger mi ha segnalato una modifica del Codice Penale che abolisce il reato di colpo di Stato. E’ successo due anni fa, con il penultimo governo dello psiconano.

A blogger has told me about a change in the Criminal Code that abolishes the crime of “coup d’état” . It happened two years ago, with the next to the last government of the psycho-dwarf.

religion & culture

May am I too much fondamentalist against Catholics? No, I’m not, at least not against the religion by itself, but against the Church. In the last 20 years, cause my mother is a teacher of religion after she retired from german teaching, I’ve been sent to summer camps by nuns, and I passed the last year of high school hosted in an hotel (managed by some priests) for rich guys (was supposed to be a place to give help to poor people)… I met 2 young good priests, but I also met many people devoted to “god money”, and not to what they where supposed to be.

I also hate fiercely the movement “Comunione e Liberazione”, which has reached in Italy a strong political and economic power… and people belonging to it are most interested in the power achieved by belonging to this “group” than to the religious background of it.

What I want to say with this post… some weeks ago I wrote a sentence very strong about how some people pretend to interpret the Bible and the Koran. Was not against the believers of the religions connected to those book, but against their hierarchies, and the fanatics. I believe in a world where everyone could be able to believe and practice his own religion without facing fights or prejudices, and a world also where people like me are able to NOT believe at all, without being pointed out as comunists or something else. By the way, I’m agnostic. And… I envy who believes… at least who believes has something to hope of… he/she has at least a path… a sort of explanation of life.

By the way… even if you are a “ciellino” (the term we use in Italy to point to someone which is part of “Comunione e Liberazione”), don’t feel angry about my post, if you are disappointed, reply or come to me if possible, and we will discuss about it. I can argue, at least… and you?
