High court deems Berlin shop hours unconstitutional

Germany’s Constitutional Court on Tuesday ruled Berlin’s liberal opening hours for shops were unconstitutional, agreeing with Christian churches that Sundays must be protected from allegedly wanton consumerism.

io vivo da solo, quando pensano debba farla la spesa questi signori? TUTTI assieme appassionatamente il sabato ad intasare i supermercati???? “ma va ‘da ‘via il cul! va!”

99 Luftballons

nice… now I understand the meaning of the song… I think I will restart from here to improve my german [ Youtube, Wikipedia]

lirics… [ german version, literal english translation ( != 99 red baloons) ]

Hast du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst du vielleicht g’rad an mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und dass so was von so was kommt

99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für Ufos aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
‘ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn es so wär
Dabei war’n da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons

99 Düsenjäger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Das gab ein großes Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons

99 Kriegsminister –
Streichholz und Benzinkanister –
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons

99 Jahre Krieg
Ließen keinen Platz für Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt’s nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh’ ich meine Runden
Seh’ die Welt in Trümmern liegen
Hab’ ‘nen Luftballon gefunden
Denk’ an dich und lass’ ihn fliegen

Have you some time for me,
then I’ll sing a song for you
about 99 balloons
on their way to the horizon.
If you’re perhaps thinking about me right now
then I’ll sing a song for you
about 99 balloons
and that such a thing comes from such a thing.

99 balloons
on their way to the horizon
People think they’re UFO’s from space
so a general sent up
a fighter squadron after them
Sound the alarm if it’s so
but there on the horizon were
only 99 balloons.

99 fighter jets
Each one’s a great warrior
Thought they were Captain Kirk
then came a lot of fireworks
the neighbors didn’t understand anything
and felt like they were being provoked
so they shot at the horizon
at 99 balloons.

99 war ministers
matches and gasoline canisters
They thought they were clever people
already smelled a nice bounty
Called for war and wanted power.
Man, who would’ve thought
that things would someday go so far
because of 99 balloons.

99 years of war
left no room for victors.
There are no more war ministers
nor any jet fighters.
Today I’m making my rounds
see the world lying in ruins.
I found a balloon,
think of you and let it fly (away).

a3i, bastian contrario

scrivo a Enrico Bettini, presidente della fantomatica A3I

noto con piacere che sono stato disiscritto senza notifica alcuna dal gruppo A3I… avrei avuto piacere almeno a ricevere una lettera con un paio di righe riguardo tale azione

forse che le critiche non siano affatto piaciute a un’associazione il cui scopo tende al mantenimento di posizioni vecchie e dannose al mercato

intanto avrei voluto postare una splendida lettura…

enjoy
Guido Serra

p.s. la A3I e’ un’associazione che vorrebbe imporre l’appartenenza all’albo degli ingegneri come criterio di discriminazione per poter svolgere l’attivita’ di progettazione software… ovviamente ha incontrato il mio, e di altri, totale dissenso… (prontamente censurato, visto che mi hanno tagliato fuori dal gruppo su linkedin.com)

RIP! 😦

Fortunately I had a valid “Time Machine” backup of 2 weeks ago… I just plug it in the old MacBook and just pressed “Restore” 🙂 …but… as u see in the screenshot, I had to recover the IMAP local server… cause I just dumped from Gmail about 3 years of mail… and I didn’t had a backup of it… since I was doing it… when the HD died…

p.s. the HD was brand new, I had the laptop in March’09… Am I a too heavy user? 😀
