He does know Italy... and quite well too! Berlusconi owns property of the whole Mediaset Group which comprises: TV, Radio, ISP, supermarkets, insurance companies. His brother owns (was given to) a publishing company and the newspaper you mentioned. Berlusconi has tight control of public RAI broadcasting company where all kind of dissent (polemically political or not) is all but suffocated and where present, paraded and specifically labelled as a "native american reserve" for "cUmmunists".
You probably don't read many of Berlusconi's rags abroad because they're pretty unsubstantial and useless papers and in any case B. doesn't really care too much for them; his consensus is entrenched in the lower middle class that doesn't read much and their political impulse is designed on the TV. What you get abroad is the most important moderate progressice/conservative papers that more or less agree that what's happening today is insane (and for that latlely the "corriere della Sera" has been under "pressure" to change editorial stance and Chief Editor).
The stupid law mentioned in the topic is a Law & Order stint designed to impress the many fools over here that beleive 'ntennet is just a paedophile & terrorist hideout. These people are avid sat tv consumers (sat pirating used to be a very good business before SECA2) and cell phone maniacs who rarely use 'ntennet. It's a shame though that pirate DVDs of currently on-screen flicks are still openly traded on the streets (often right before the cinema entrance!) and the same goes for hit CDs...
It's such a stupid decision (EU voted for some sort of 'fair use' in p2p sharing) I can't even imagine what the possible hidden agendas might be; are they trying to piss off Tiscali, Telecom Italia and the other broadband operators?)
but lmsensors have to deal with proprietary data, in the sense of biased byte values spewed by undocumented bioses and machine code interfaces the user has to tune in cryptic, sensless config files, the final product of endless nights & days spent by helpess hackers trying to correlate the unknown with reproducible calibrated data (hopefully!). I sympathise with the poor chap trying to get some relevant data in a computationally usefull format like syslog out of something that seems to work with any shitty MS world "modder must have" shareware. I long for the days when printers came with manuals detaling the hex codes, txt mode commands and gfx programming examples... I used to have a Star dot matrix: it's 'user manual' was a driver developer reference! (and the U.S. Robotics modem of course...)
Side note: say a prayer for the HP chap that convinced the boneheads in charge to put postscript back in the default features... oh, the hours (of my precious little life) I've wasted getting linux workstations to print with the same quality & performance as NT4! Perhaps it's because Apple prints through CUPS and the latter is C.Unix.PS (!)... thanks Apple... you've made linux support less of a pain to me;-) !!!
You're correct, but citing the preceding sentence in my comment would have put my trenchant statement a bit more into context: "Strained Si, SOI, low-k dielectric... oh, yes, PCs are real commodity low tech machines anyone can build in a shack." Perhaps I was referring to solid state physics research... (were you setting up a straw man to slap?;-) Ok, I worded my statement a bit badly but hey, this is Slashdot after all!
Strained Si, SOI, low-k dielectric... oh, yes, PCs are real commodity low tech machines anyone can build in a shack.
Real innovation and significant research are only available to incredibly big and wealthy corporations like IBM (and intel) and some other far east conglomerate. These kind of companies can't hold all the threads of the tech economy they sustain for plain logistical reasons. Enter the VAR; that's all there is... Dell might even get the message to the consumer (after all the other big corps don't even care to hammer their leadership into the masses' heads, they're too busy researching) but it doesn't stand a chance to survive without the guys they're slamming. I assume this attack on HP is meant to give intel/AMD the finger...
asshole.. & troll... & flamebait... this issue roots in a design flaw (read carefully... _Design_Flaw_... not simple stack buffer overflows MS likes to indulge in) in the user experience framework that's totally separated from the BSD subsystem...
So fucking what?! How callous of you AC to nitpick on this guy's not being a civis romanus... treat the world as a shooting range to "export democracy" (what is it? Campbell Soup?) and behave like a bunch of rabid mcarthytes...
perhaps he was referring to the.app directories that contain all resources, non shared libs, executables and various resources necessary to an application, opposed to sputtering crap all over the c:/ filesystem... utter crap, M$ fanboy...

Most hardware vendors have poor bios implementations for standard ACPI functions. Probably it's because, as everything in the IT market, the products are rushed to market without proper testing and quality control. Later on it's easier to fix the bugs with custom 'distorted' drivers that provide proper functionality on Windows. Manufacturers obviously don't want to overwhelm customers with repeated bios updates that could potentially produce a 'bricktop' and would ruin their reputations. On the other hand they cut costs and don't bother to provide 'recovery' bioses so in any case the windows patch'n go approach is most economical. That's what they think at teast... after struggling with a borrowed Asus laptop on FreeBSD and Linux I held my breath and bought a PowerBook... someone else ate their cake...
That's ok but don't mix up. You're essentially capitalizing the benefit of an INPUT default policy set to drop with an ACCEPT on RELATED traffic... you're still jumping through hoops to service allowed incoming services. We should all have ip6 by now but providers are happy with ip4's address scarsity so they can extort a premium on static ips.
I won't enlighten you, that wouldn't be fair to your intelligence. Rather, you should investigate yourself, google around the net and other media. Read what the controversial, the "enemy" and the "parish" have to say. Don't ask us to preach to you, get rid of that habit. There's no point in accepting what you're told but it's much better to make up your mind for yourself (and you'll find that there are many more halftones that you'd have thought). Always keep an eye for propaganda...
Oh yeah shure... hmph... buahaha! That was an involutary funny AC... hey... Cile is a south american country and Pinochet isn't on top anymore (the old fart... I wish him a nice good, fair trial before he's dead, parce sepulto wouldn't be fair on the victims)
Troll? Another troll mod? OMG... there goes my karma... bye, bye baby... but what the heck, I'm in the mood tonight;-) what's the use of it if you can't burn some every now & then?

no my boy... this is Socialism at it's best... Communism is supposed to be a "transitory dictatorship" led and governed by an intellectual aristocracy towards a better future (TM). Think today's China (it's the US's latest "date"). Socialism is more like: listen, we're human beings, no matter how lazy and assholes there's a limit to how much mud we're supposed to swallow. In principle everybody is supposed to receive enough education to disenfranchise from whatever social ghetto and satisfy one's aspiration to the fullest potential (or some kind of blackmail to prevent peasants from raiding your mansion), enough _medical_care_ to live as healthily as possible for as long as possible (or some kind of massively distributed sanitary insurance). In essence it's the evolution of Renaissance's centrality of the human being, redefined by Illuminism's rationality and focus on people's lifespan rather than the soul's salvation. The main concept is to preserve anyone from the brutality of our animal heritage (even murderers aren't killed because that bloodspill would en-savage the whole concept of justice...) It flies in the face of many people, but for me it's the best possible deal: I'm expected to live my little life trying my best to make a buck, but no matter how bad I fail I can always fall on my feet and keep trying. It really helps with angst and paranoia... if only it worked so well in Italy too! What really surprises me is that the US helped us out of the worst war ever fought (while by today's standards EU should cuddle homeless under a cold bridge) and came to be the somewhat savage, torn society it is today (where two family incomes aren't enough to provide for a family and a peaceful future)
So my boy, watch less FOX, relax that competition fixation and have a bite at your local library... there's a lot more beyond propaganda:-)
... on which I refuse to argue, just mention. This is fantastic news folks! A publicly owned company, devoted to the production of Common Goods contributed to worldwide society an open, free (perhaps even performant) platform for the storage and distribution of the Commons' Intellectual Property. Socialist? Yeah, you betcha! (I'm sorry, I can't resist) Come on, quit whining and splitting hairs; you can't appreciate this stuff because it simply flies in the face of "american individualism":there's no Project Lead success icon to identify with, no blessed marketplace competition for the consumer's best interest, no visionary research successfully spinned off; just a bland, subsidized (sin!) government agency chewing on a political choice and actually delivering something concrete... oh, the horror! I expect to be modded into Flamebait oblivion but heck, aren't we always yapping about choice, information freedom and accessibility? If you don't like all this and rather shill for WMP or QT you only have to swipe your credit card at the cashier... grrr... if you feel for your pet open source codec, don't... this one is another tool in the fight agains the information mongers, how can that bother you is beyond me...
... it's the poor sap that doesn't have a standard openly documented distributed login system. It's also quite difficult to implement one given that Microsoft knows damn well how crucial it is to possess this part of the infrastructure; otherwise they could have done like apple (OpenLDAP + Kerberos5). They chose to break the stadard (or at least attach undisclosed extensions) in order to remain in it's current 'rabbit' status and make pretty damn shure nobody breaks free of the straglehold (making the authentication interface poorly documented and rather mpossible to substitute without dramatic loss of functionality) Would it be difficult to write a fully working LDAP + Krb5 auth plugin for Windows? I've never seen one... except for the Novell one, and it's not free...

Apple is expensive but it's solid, cool and even old designs can whip out better overall performance than recent centrino machines... out of the box... it matters sometimes...
