32! (.___.)

Tonight (which means VERY deep night, for me) I was wondering if there's something meaningful to write to the blog . It's been a week now since the last post. Well, it's not strictly required to update it: I prefere not to update it everyday to avoid to write trash randomly, but..
While I was thinking to this I joined IRC, like every night. I was curious to check if my friends didn't forget to do me their best wishes. Yup. they forgot it. :P
hehe.. Nevermind.
Then I browsed the daily news on PuntoInformatico (italian IT news), wondering what was the daily case of attack against the freedom of the netizens and related offences to the human's mind (see previous posts for examples).
There are some today too, of course. yes. You can be sure that there is almost a new one every day. :/
Here it is: censorship (technically useless, but still censorship) of Italians monolopy against games websites is growing up; some English mechanic garages are in copyright violation because their mechanics and tyre specialists are listening music during their job at a too high volume, causing the music to be earable also by customers; that nice person of Steve Ballmer that would like to get money from RedHat users for his micro$oft, because they are using patented technologies without permissions (around 200 patents, about which THIS is the only known detail: the amount!)
Luckily there is also a good new, that is the choice of Nine Inch Nails to copy the example of the Radiohead and interrupt relations with major, becoming distributors of their own songs.
Anyway, I didn't find anything really interesting to post here...
So I went reading last emails, wondering if someone was sending me his wishes.. But I instantly realized that the day is in fact just started and still supposing I'll get 1 or 2 emails, I'll have to wait 'till tomorrow.
But there are actually some. 2. Sadly those are just wishes automatically sent by websites who are trying to call me back to be able to cover me with their flood of advertisement and special offerts. (They can thread them all into their...) Also all mixed with a healty (?!) and daily dose of spam, like someone who want to show me his dick as a proof of effectiveness of some kind of devilry that then I'd be supposed to buy. (yeeees. suuure!)
Luckily here there is an exception too. My friend from London sent me his wishes! <3 I'll send him a reply tomorrow. :D
And then suddenly I see the light! What better news for MY blog than having reached the target of 32 wasted years of MY life? And also getting anything useful done! A record! :D
Yes I become 32 today! :)
... :&amp;#124;

mah... better to get back to work on my pyg.. perhaps one day I'll be able to earn something from it...

This copyright sucks #3

Wonderful news today! The Radiohead are going to release by themselves their new album, online, and leaving customers to decide how much they want to pay for it! :D
Great! This is how things has to be done! \o/ <3
[1]

And by the way...
another things for my fellow countrymen (supposed there are some who accidentally fall into this page :P): it's active now an interesting petition to suggest changes for the copyright law.
[2] [3] [4]

Why change it?

Because when I buy a disc and I give you the money, THEN IT'S MINE AND I DO WITH IT WHATEVER I WANT! copying, loaning, gifts, reselling, use it alone or with people, and if I want I'll trash it into the WC or Iwilleatit!

Because I agree on paying the author, but THE LEECH EDITORS CAN GO HELL, him and all his hokums!

Because WHEN THE AUTHOR IS DEAD, HE'S DEAD and stop! 70 YEARS of copyright after his death is too much. It's just ridiculous. Someone [5] [6] computed that 14 years is the optimal copyright time after which the society stops getting advatages from it. The descendants can fuck themselves. They can do something by themselves and earn money with that.

Because it's scandalous that an ENCYCLOPEDIA MADE BY ANYONE FOR ANYONE, free and noprofit, like the italian wikipedia IS FORCED TO REMOVE ALL THE ARCHITECTURE RELATED PICTURES, MENACED BY THE COPYRIGHT OWNERS. [7]

ecc..
(there are a lot more, but I'm not going to stay here all night to list them all.. :P)

Free those monks and their country!

On past Friday there've been a general mobilization for wearing red to pacefully manifest against persecutions endured by monks in Burma. I have nothing red to wear nor I went out that day (as almost everyday).
But I decided to change the color of this blog to red.
I know it's not going to change things, but at least HERE there's still the freedom to disagree and to say it. And manifesting it in this way can help me and the 2-3 persons who read these few notes of mine to remember how important is this (as well as to claim my indignation and my wish to see them all free and safe as soon as possible, of course!).

I just hope that their condition can starts getting better. As it is now it's a shit. :'/

inept governments and witchhunters

hmm, what a good news this week!!

On a side there are governments all around the worlds which are unable to protect their sensible informations, in the face of the national security. It seems that everyone is using the TOR software in the wrong way. many compliments. [1] [2]

On the other side 700mb of MediaDefender internal mail disclosed to the world thanks to an anonimous little angel. Another confirmation of their questionable witch (read: P2P) hunting activity and of the equally questionable ways to practice it. [3] [4]
