Like all of the Debian users 'round here already know, from the archive there's a kde-core (meta) package:
This meta-package includes the core official modules released with KDE. This includes just the basic desktop (browser, file manager, text editor, control center, panel, etc.) and important libraries and data, in addition to the aRts soundserver.
And then there's a kde package "all-included" for those who want a quick "all-included" KDE desktop setup.
That's as it is now, as it was before Etch, and Lenny will do the same. Just let those nice devs sort the packages and the dependencies as they float in the testing branch, no need for panic.
If I was you I would consider Ireland: no problems with immigration, real possibility of getting a job there with a good pay. There you could practice your english and make a foreign experience while holding all of your "citizen status", you could stay there as long as you want and you can move back and forward in case.
An other option would be Spain, which is growing fast and is a nice place as well for young people.
I sould point your attention to the fact that Italy new Prime Minister is Silvio Berlusconi, who happens to own at least three television channels, plus some new "digital with fee" one for films and football. He also keeps very good relations with the public service as well (dig some "Berlusconi Sacca Bergamini RAI") just in case some one comes with a different point of view on same substantial matter...
So he is quite sensitive to the case, and he feels confortable to propone laws for is very own welth.
I semms like that Telecom, wich is italian n.1 priver, is just gibbering the DNS replay: A query for thepiratebay.org returns 127.0.0.1 . So just a static record in you/etc/hosts should do:
Or you (gentle italian reader) can just use a different DNS. Http is fine, so appears to be the peer to peer thing.
You know: it's not like I fell the need to download some copyrighted materials, it's just that _I_'m used to be the one who blocks things in my net, and I go mad when someone tricks my DNS (they did some other trash on those DNS some time ago as a sort of forwarder for mispelled domains: some one in there found a new toy and since then each day they play a new trick...).
Use your renewable energy thing to recharge something the works with batteries. Just buy an other battery and keep it plugged to the recharger, linked to your renewable thing.
Example: buy an eletric scooter/bike, take an extra battery, while you are around with it keep the other battery on charge with some solar cells. When you came home switch the batteries, and so an other day goes on... Easy and rewarding (for me as well, as I won't breath gas from your car).
Well MySQL was on sale, in the way that it is a product made by a small private group instead of a community of denvelopers (=Postgresql). Postgres is harder to control by SUN, while Mysql was an available commodity.
You know Valentino Rossi has a "WLF" on the necklace of his suit: it goes for "Viva la Figa!"
No, I won't translate the last word for you, and you should not google for it without a good pop up stopper:P
A register for on-line publication has been active in Italy for years, and it's not mandatory.
It's meant to enforce trust for those who wish to use it, and it's mandatory to become eligible for those public financial aid we have for press.
Well in Italy a manufacturer can't dictate the buyer how he is supposed to use the item, as long as the use is not against the law or dangerous to someone else.
So they Dell can't tell me: "This is made for windoze, if you don't want the software give me the hardware back as well". Yes, this goes for DRM (user has the right to make a personal backup copy) and reverse engineering: no DMCA here (you can buy a modded console or mod chip in a shop).
But actually main point is that Microsoft is just a foreign company in Europe, so we don't fell the urge to sustain their monopolistic strategies (as forcing the user to use a OS looks to me).
But don't think it's all sun and nice, we got our problems of course;) .
Hey mate, Italy has never got into censoring: it was a proposal and not a law.
I've seen a lot of cars made in my town (Modena) working quite well, check the farm 'round here in Maranello or those bikes made ~50km on the way to Bologna (Ducati).
BTW: we also have open standards and open software as a priority for any public/government work.
Italy has clearly stated in its costitution that every citizen has the right of free speach.
As a matter of fact this proposed law is against this principle so can't even became a law.
This draft was supposed to upgrade the actual registry of on-line publications, which is not obligatory. It's meant as a trust effort for on-line newspaper like publications: actually it is used just because it's mandatory to become eligible of public money for those press services. You know, if you wanna start a newspaper in Italy you can have financial help from the government and a better deal with the post service (public ) than ordinary mail.
The author of the draft and those in charge of it have stated something like: "Sorry we where all busy with other things (the new welfare act) and none of us took the time to give it a read, it was supposed to be just like the previous one...
Yeah it's a mistake and it won't see the light of Parliament as it is, we'd rather trash it."
Oh well, at least some guys got up and took the blame...
Reaction of italian web users has been shocking fast and loud: you know, there's allready a Berlusconi 'round here...
In the Peppermint case, which is about recording industry suing about 3600 italians P2P users for music copyright infringement, one tribunal in Rome has reject the request by the accusation to the ISPs to track down the identities of those users.
Privacy is the matter: you are not allowed to track user traffic without an authorization from a tribunal.
Thanks again.
Public sector bodies that develop computer programs using tax money should therefore work together to spread the results to other bodies.
Interesting. Shame that none of them is translated in english, I could be interested to drop a mail up north;) Maybe I should just try and see what happens...
I know Germany and the new members from east Europe are more interested in open source. Actually from my experience (I worked for a couple years on on public join venture with four countries here in UE) it seems like that counties that don't have a 'old aristocracy' in IT devoted to IBM,Novell,Microsoft there's more interest for free software. The meeting I attended to decide the infrastructure for our project was all based on technology merits, no politic interests.
Politic has of course it weight in these kind of things, but usually it's the CTO to take decision about technology and I never saw some one coming in stating: "You have to use this software 'couse...". I guess as long as we have CTOs with balls and some young people around there's should be enough source to move.
Here in Italy we have directive in favour of open source, standards to sustain our choices. Open standards are widely supported in EU, and in the holy name of security it's possible to get rid of some binary / closed source apps.
This is getting long: IMHO as long as we have some good CTO we should not fear 'to much' the administration barks.
Basically it's a 'SourceForge' for the software to be used in the public administration, all with 'open source' licences.
The new government (we got rid of Berlusconi eventually) has sponsored 30 millions of euro to develop new software for the PA, preference will be given to those with a open licence. http://punto-informatico.it/p.aspx?id=1990138&r=PI
Thanks for clarification.
Thanks god my country (Italy) is not positive as regards software patents as well.
It seems anyway good to me that a first try to introduce software patents in the UE has been formaly rejected: this sould be important in case Miscrosft (or someone else) is going to push again in this direction.
As far as I am concerned I will send some money to those fighting for free software in Europe, just in case...
What about Europe and all other nice countries that don't apply an idea of patent as regard software?
May this lead to a scenario like this: US citizens will face troubles for using free software while the rest of us will just keep going ahead, get scared of Microsoft and improve free software much more (as the US market for FOSS will collapse and developers will have to work outside of US patent system?).
US may have a point in defending Microsoft Co. as it is a (strong ) American asset, but there's no way the rest of the world is gonna be willing to suddenly import US patent system just to become a slave of Microsoft patent portfolio.
I'don't know what you have to run on this large amount of ram, but did you consider some kind of cluster setup?
One key benefit appears repeatedly with respect to clusters: Within a given budget, a cluster may be the most cost-effective, scalable way to provide large amounts of hardware resources (RAM and CPU) to special applications that can make use of them. A simple comparison between SMP and cluster hardware costs illustrates one of the reasons that clusters are candidates for replacing large, expensive SMP systems. Figure 1 shows this comparison.

Same here, except for the sticker. And we have something like 80% of the people voting :)
And most importat: it's Italy... Enought said.

Depending on his mood, you could be.
