"It took Apple more than four years to fix Siri's responses to questions about abortion services, and yet the company didn't seem to have any problem programming Siri to search for prostitutes and Viagra."
yeah, methink that the political climate surrounding abortion is far more explosive than prostitution , and some people might have exploded in anger far more quickly at women being helped getting an abortion (sorry "murder baby!") than at the other keyword. So it does not surprise me in the least.
I don't think you kill anyone by getting Viagra or going with prostitutes. And Amnesty International says that prostitution is a right.
I am having lots of fun with Spring Roo and GWT (Google Web Toolkit). The latter is supported by the former. Roo allows to generate automatically a CRUD application with different technologies (AFAIK it currently supports GWT, Spring MVC and Web Flow). GWT allows to create single-page applications, using the server as a service and data provider only. In other words, let the browser do the hard work:-D Single-page applications are much faster than server-centric web applications. Security can be managed effectively at service level, for example using Spring Security annotations.
In all my jobs (I started in 2004, notice that I work in Italy) at least we had a VCS (CVS, Subversion or some horrible things like StartTeam or PVCS) and an IDE (mostly Eclipse). In one place we even had functional testing and CI with Hudson. But the two pieces above are the minimum requirements for a decent job, IMHO.
If you're an engineer you might be interested in this: http://www.ewb-international.org/ Some people that I know (Italy) helped providing a network infrastructure for a hospital in Angola.
Why not covering Maven? It's got a totally different way of building applications, together with some concepts like artifacts, dependency, artifact repository, that are not present in other build systems. I think that it is worth at least a mention.
It's about ethanol and biofuel. I think that many of us have different ideas about biofuel (e.g. I don't like it, it reduces food fields) that might be discussed. And there's the problem of funding biofuel, that may not be fair comparing it to other alternative technologies, like hybrid or pure electric cars.
Capitan Ventosa (Captain Plunger) is an Italian hero with a plunger on his head. With his "Ventosa Radio Team" discovers radio interferences with an antenna attached to a spectrum analyzer.
GWT has no free WYSIWYG editor and Chrome development plugin is available only in Windows, but a plugin for Firefox is available too. For the rest I agree, GWT circumvents very well some bugs/restrictions of specific browsers. It's funny to see what kind of hacks it does for IE6, but it works!

Let's get it vertical!
Actually someone did it first:

In fact it inspired Ecco the Dolphin game in some way.
'Nuff said.
Well, part of that is likely because it would be a public relations nightmare trying to do trials with fetal stem cells.
... only in America. It is less of a issue in Europe, and a non-issue in China.
Actually you cannot do fetal stem cells research in Italy (and it is a good thing).
Air hockey is much funnier.
Dismissed in a single experiment. Cool.

In accounting secondary school, old typewriting teachers were converted to CS teachers.

I am using ScriptSafe for Chrome and disabling loading of "code.bildstatic.de" makes the site work. I think that using NoScript may work as well.

Amref simply do things. They both help and train professionals on site.

In fact it is exactly the opposite.

Not true, Italy had four nuclear power plants:

(sorry, Italian Wikipedia, English one has not such a table).
After all it's not so stupid. I think it could be used for tactile signing for deafblind people.
Julia would be "Giulia" in Italian. Juilia is plain wrong.
It does not matter, now it works.
It redirects to 123 reg. What's happening?
