CONSIP in Italy should be the equivalent system for Italiy.
The problem is that is a yummy target for bribing

An Italian article (Google translation) has slightly more detail. (Note that 'Ereditato' is mistranslated as 'Inherited'; I've replaced it below.)

To put an end I received today the resignation of spokesman for Opera, the physicist Antonio Ereditato. "There is no desire on my part of the controversy, I hope this concludes a phase," Ereditato told ANSA.

Some collaboration members have requested a motion for the resignation of Ereditato and in spite of the motion not passed, has created a rift inside. In light of this situation, Ereditato considered it appropriate to resign because the partnership was no longer manageable. "It 's been a very painful affair within the collaboration," said the director of the National Laboratories of Gran Sasso, Lucia Votano. "The motion presented by the researchers reflects the difference in judgment on the world in which the affair was conducted," he said. "It is now clear that there was error, it is understood that the measure was having problems and things are back," he added Votano. For now it's time to turn the page.

The Vice President of INFN, Antonio Masiero, Opera hopes that the collaboration will "unite us and new leadership in pursuing its primary objective specifically to observe the emergence of new types of neutrinos from the mu-type neutrinos from Cern" , ie the study of the phenomenon called neutrino oscillation.

Not much detail, unfortunately. Part of the group wanted him gone (for reasons unknown) and he wanted to end the controversy, so he stepped down.

It goes on like this:
-Berlusconi was attacked by Mr.Tartaglia because he hated him.
-The attack was caused by the hateful mood (http://www.ansa.it/web/notizie/rubriche/politica/2009/12/15/visualizza_new.html_1646244271.html/)
-Facebook is full of political hatred (http://www.ilgiornale.it/interni/su_facebook_tartaglia_eroe_chi_odia/tartaglia-facebook-berlusconi/13-12-2009/articolo-id=406674-page=0-comments=1/)
-Facebook is on the Internet
-The solution is to control Facebook, and also the whole Internet to avoid mistakes (http://www.repubblica.it/2009/12/sezioni/politica/giustizia-22/rodota/rodota.html/)

according to this news article (ansa is the major news agency in Italy), Scientology has been put into judgment for fraud (sorry for the rough translation, but I have no knowledge of english legal words).

That's a good news for europe

DAMN LIERS. Even if the Pope is not attending today to get into the university you have to show your ID CARD and the University Card.

The police sorrounded the Campus because they try to prevent infiltrations of violent squatters from the nearby suburbia
http://www.ansa.it/site/notizie/awnplus/topnews/news/2008-01-17_117151840.html This is very same people that was called in from the Red-Fascist (Commonist) students in the video I posted.

This confirms 100% what I said yesterday and makes if possibile me even more ashamed of being of the same nationality as those illiberals.

One of those people wrote here that san lorenzo was a chic place. San Lorenzo is the heart of Roma drug dealing operations. Punkabbestia (people joined with stray dogs) walk around the streets; light drugs are consumed in the open though they are illegal; there are a couple of "Social Centers" that are home to commonist political activists that organised violent demonstations in the past; residents complain of people being occasionally stabbed in the night. If this is a chic place then my house is a castle.

In Italy it is forbidden for anybody to monitor internet trafic. This
is stated in a recent article by the national press agency ANSA that I
gladly translate for the slashdot readers:

http://www.ansa.it/site/notizie/awnplus/internet/n ews/2007-07-18_11897954.html

ROMA, 18 LUG - An italian court "ruled illegal for anyone to monitor
network trafic". This is as declared by the innovation responsible of
the green party, Mr. Cortiana. As announced by the green leader the
Giudges approved the points forwarded from the Privacy Authority in
the case of Peppermint against Telecom. This is a important ruling,
sais Cortiana, because this set a important principle: On the internet
it is a (exclusive) duty of law forces and judges to investigate and
enforce the law.

The case Peppermin Jam Records VS Telecom originated when the Swiss
firm Peppermint used scare tactics like those employed by the RIAA
sending 3636 notification letters to Italian Users sharing licensed
music on P2P network. Those letters were containing a invitation to
deposit a sum of money or face a trial. Telecom initially opposed but
was forced to deliver the names. Now the Giudges overturned this
previous ruling.

Cortiana also criticises the private firm:
"Internet is not a 'nobody's land' where there are no rules and you
can apply do-it-yourself laws, also on the internet real world
citizenship rights apply" and continues as "business models should
adapt and cosider that network sharing is a collective cognitive
process"

This week, a long-distance heart operation has been carried out. The operation was initiated and monitored in Boston, the surgery took place in Milan, Italy.

I found this news item while searching for articles about the LBT telescope in Arizona. Italians helped with the mirror technology of the LBT and are working on newer lightweight designs.

Here: http://ansa.it/main/notizie/rubriche/approfondimen ti/20050501153933408580.html there is the article in english about this. You can see english news from Italy going to ansa.it, in homepage there's always a link "news from Italy in English". The article is: ROMA - Blacked out sections of a US report on the 'friendly fire' killing of an Italian agent in Iraq can be read in full by anyone with a computer and internet access, it emerged on Sunday. The 42-page report, which cleared American soldiers of any responsibility in the death of Nicola Calipari on March 4, was published by the Pentagon late Saturday. About a third of the report was blacked out for security reasons. Among the missing information was the identity of the soldiers involved in the incident and the description of the rules of engagement for checkpoints. By mid-afternoon on Sunday journalists and other curious Italians had discovered that by opening the original document in the PDF format and saving it in a different format the entire report became perfectly legible. Alternatively, the document can be opened with the commonly used Acrobat Reader software. Then, when the text is copied and pasted onto another document, the blacked out sections become visible. The report gives the US military's version of the events which led to Calipari being shot dead as he, a just-released hostage, and another agent drove towards Baghdad airport. The incident was the subject of a joint Italian-US probe but the two sides could not agree on the conclusions. The report released Saturday by the Pentagon, containing the blacked out sections, put the blame for the "tragic death" on the shoulders of Calipari, his driver and Italian authorities. It said the car was travelling at high speed and failed to stop when signalled to do so by soldiers manning a makeshift checkpoint on the airport road. Soldiers stuck to the rules of engagement for such a situation, it added. The report also blamed Italian authorities for not informing the US command that the car was coming. Italy is expected to release its own report on the incident on Monday, refuting many aspects of the US report, including the claims of excessive speed and the argument that soldiers acted correctly. Bye. pieggi.
