... mah, ho delle perplessita' ...
... certamente il progresso e' stato deleterio per chi aveva prerogative ...
... sancite da dio, dal popolo, dalle licenze di picone e dai titoli ereditari ...
... ma i poveri diavoli forse vivono meglio oggi che nel 36 ...
... ed anche meglio che nel 63 ...
... la disgrazia di un sistema economico liberale ...
... e' che ha bisogno di uno stato di "gendarmi onesti" ...
... la disgrazia di ogni repubblica e' la diffusa corruzione ...
... la disgrazia di ogni monarchia e' la scarsa competenza ...
... la disgrazia di ogni socialismo e' il totale menefreghismo ...
... la disgrazia di ogni teocrazia e' il fanatismo oscurantista ...
... per cui concordo solo in parte ...
... ed addito la responsabilita' dei governi che hanno permesso tutto cio' ...
... per i soliti interessi e tornaconti "personali" ...
... uno stato di diritto che non e' capace di produrre la legislazione necessaria ...
... ad evitare gli scempi perpetuati ...
... non e' piu' uno stato "di diritto" ...
... ma una oligarchia ...
... ed in certi casi una cleptocrazia ...
... in parole povere ammazzare il cavallo che tira il carretto ...
... e' molto meno produttivo che ibrigliarlo ...
... si deve accusare l'industria per le attivita' illegali ...
... ma parimenti, si devono accusare politici latitanti ...
... per le "omissioni negli atti di ufficio" di cui competenti ...
... che hanno reso legali azioni dannose al destino dell' umanita' ...
... il modello a cui Lei si riferisce ...
... non e' il prodotto di logica liberale ...
... ma di logica socialista dirigista e filo-religiosa ...
... qui' in america, come da voi in italia ...
... i liberali in america sono il 2%, in italia forse nemmeno l'1% ...
... la latitanza e la corruzione dei governi non possono eticamente ...
... essere definite un prodotto del liberismo ...
... non attribuiamo agli altri il frutto della nostra politica ...
... per piacere ...
... amen ...

"The parts of the government that are concerned about things like national security are really worried about open source," he said.

... oh really ? ...
... well, then don't use it, go buy windows from bill ...
... the parts of any government really concerned with national security ...
... should build their operating systems and programs from sources ...
... after having examined and customized each single line ...
... "assured" security, not "security heard on the grapewine" ...

... forse pure questo sistema educativo ...
... sarebbe da smantellare ...
... se non fosse che nel sistema privato in america ...
... una laurea breve costa 85 mila dollari ...
... e produce laureati che non sanno scrivere ...
... o calcolare una frazione ...
... non concordo con il giudizio del provveditorato ...
... perche' giudizi etici sono al di fuori della loro sfera di competenza ...
... forse si sono dimenticati che loro sono un provveditorato italiano ...
... ed un provveditorato di studi della comunita' europea ...
... e non dello stato vaticano ...
... inviterei la signora in questione ...
... a fare ricorso al tribunale europeo ...

L'Italia e' una colonia?

... Signora Antonella ...

... Il fatto che industria non competitiva venga svenduta ...
... fa' parte di una ferrea legge in economia ...
... se questo eccesso di partecipazioni statali in stile cinese ...
... fosse stato ridimensionato negli anni 90 ...
... non si sarebbe giunti a questo punto ...
... loro, che sono cinesi, hanno fatto le privatizzazioni ...
... noi "occidentali" siamo aggrappati alla vacca pubblica ...
... tutti in Italia protestano ...
... ma la realta' e' che i figli dell' oca bianca ...
... sono in pensione a 40 anni, o sono finti invalidi ...
... ma chi eticamente avrebbe diritto ...
... non ottiene nulla per assenza di santi in paradiso ...
... e "politica" in italia e' sinonimo di profitto personale ...
... e corruzione perpetua e dilagante ...
... il compromesso storico e l'alleanza catto marxista ...
... hanno esteso privilegi insostenibili finanziariamente ...
... per lasciar mangiare tutti ...
... accumulando interessi sul debito ...
... ed accrescendo il debito pubblico a dismisura ...
... non si puo' spendere di piu' ...
... e ridurre il debito allo stesso tempo ...
... o per dirlo in un modo piu' femminile ...
... non esistono scarpe piu' piccole da fuori che da dentro ...

... ora eccole il mio programma personale ...
... (non si preoccupi, credo interessi a nessuno) ...
... per il solo e noto "conflitto di interessi" ...
... (come direbbe Einaudi "prediche inutili"): ...

1) Ridefinizione del concordato, lo stato e' in bancarotta, sorry ma i cattolici devono pagare i loro preti in proprio, come fanno tutte le altre chiese del mondo.
2) Riduzione del concetto di 'pubblico' a difesa, giustizia, sanita' , educazione ed energia. Tutto il resto va chiuso, ed i relativi ministeri, tipo "partecipazioni statali", "autostrade", "poste e telecomunicazioni" e cosi' via, ridimensionati in organi puramente regolatori e consultivi per il supporto dell' attivita' legislativa del parlamento.
3) Offrire a chi e' in pensione di anzianita' a meno di 60 anni di eta' la possibilita' di rientrare in servizio, altrimenti ridurre del 50% l' importo della baby-pensione fino al raggiungimento dei 60 anni di eta'.
4) Prepensionamento obbligatorio a 60 anni, per tutti gli altri.
5) Servizi, tutti strettamente e rigorosamente "on-line", certificati e originali arrivano per posta.
6) "Una tantum" riduzione dell' organico statale tramite licenziamento, per quelli che hanno mantenuto note caratteristiche mediocri negli ultimi 7 anni.
7) 'Telecommuting', lavoro da casa per il 50% della pubblica amministrazione.
8) Alienazione dei beni patrimoniali inutili (quelli usati dal 50% sopra e quelli appartenenti alle amministrazioni inutili di cui sopra), e conseguente riduzione dei costi di gestione, minuto mantenimento, eccetera.
9) Deregolamentazione dell' impresa. Fine del numero chiuso di licenze e permessi. Chi ha le carte in regola ha diritto a una licenza, l' unico modo di garantire impresa libera e competitiva, e' di eliminare i "protezionismi" da rendita di posizione.
10) Riduzione dei bilanci e riduzione del debito.

... so che lei sicuramente non condivida la mia posizione ...
... ma le ricordo che sia cina e sia russia ...
... e tutti gli altri ad occidente ...
... spendono grandi risorse per la loro difesa ...
... come i romani dissero "si vis pacem, para bellum" ...
... se vuole la mia modesta opinione ...
... tutta questa gente atlantica ed americana ...
... e' in italia perche' noi non spendiamo abbastanza in difesa ...
... per garantire quel che dovremmo in teoria fare da soli ...
... se spendessimo quel che necessario ...
... concordo, vanno rispediti a casa ...
... ma per far questo ...
... si deve moltiplicare per dieci il bilancio della difesa ...
... e a questo punto, loro se ne andrebbero da soli ...
... perche' qui' in america ai nostri giorni ...
... come dicono a napoli ...
... "l'acqua e' poca e la papera non galleggia" ...

distinti saluti
:)

A Pearl Harbor without War

By Gabor Steingart in Washington, D.C.

The dollar crisis has politicians alarmed worldwide. The US currency has lost 24 percent of its value since the introduction of the euro, and now there is even a chance that China could abandon its policy of pegging its currency to the dollar -- a problem the United States should take very seriously.

Germany 'Willing to Discuss' New Holocaust Reparations with Israel

Germany has shown the first signs it is willing to talk to Israel about extra pension payments for Holocaust survivors. The original 1952 agreement is no longer sufficient to cover the costs of caring for survivors, says Israel's minister for pensioner affairs.

... seems an honorable proposal ...

"'Who believes in UFOs?' is the kind of attitude of the FAA all the time," he said.
"However, when I asked the CIA person: 'What do you think it was,' he responded 'a UFO.'"
When Callahan suggested the government tell Americans about a UFO, the CIA official allegedly told him: "'No way, if we were to tell the American public there are UFOs they would panic.'"

The office computer is designed for work, but the longer the workday gets, the more it tempts us to play. Recreational Internet use costs employers a lot of money and it's costing ever more Brits their jobs.

... too much gray zone, serious regulations are needed ...
... the gray zone leaves too much space for BOTH employers AND employees abuse ...
... "five minutes break per hour work" should apply ...
... no official mail accounts for private business should apply ...
... business should not be entitled to undermine in the 5 minutes "freedom of information" ...
... employees should not be entitled in the 55 minutes to waste their company time while on the clock ...
... unless, off course, they are paid by strictly by "commissions" or by completition of the work regardless of time, then the constitution applies ...
... employers should not pose uncostitutional restrictions on employees just because they are so retard that they can not work on anything else but windoze, an handicapped IT department, and in some cases industry, should not give rights to employers to violate employees constitutional rights ...
... this is called "reality check", you are free as employer to buy a "trabant" (with all respect for trabants), but don't restrict your employees rights because of your choices, you would not have that much of a problem if you would have bought a BMW in the first place, decisions have a cost, is unfair to pass poor management costs of decisions down the line to employees that can not decide ...
... anyways, even in a perfect world where employees don't go to porn sites ...
... windoze is totally unreliable and manages to get hit by boots, worms and viruses anyways ...
... "no microsoft" equal no viruses equal no problems of where people go ...
... there is no need of introducing employees censorship to protect employers incompetence ...
... or worse bad faith and political dream and agenda ...
... to mine or eliminate fair labor rights ...
... amen ...

Treacherous computing puts the existence of free operating systems and free applications at risk, because you may not be able to run them at all. Some versions of treacherous computing would require the operating system to be specifically authorized by a particular company. Free operating systems could not be installed. Some versions of treacherous computing would require every program to be specifically authorized by the operating system developer. You could not run free applications on such a system. If you did figure out how, and told someone, that could be a crime.

There are proposals already for US laws that would require all computers to support treacherous computing, and to prohibit connecting old computers to the Internet. The CBDTPA (we call it the Consume But Don't Try Programming Act) is one of them. But even if they don't legally force you to switch to treacherous computing, the pressure to accept it may be enormous. Today people often use Word format for communication, although this causes several sorts of problems (see “We Can Put an End to Word Attachments”). If only a treacherous computing machine can read the latest Word documents, many people will switch to it, if they view the situation only in terms of individual action (take it or leave it).

... there must be a reason why amerikans only want to use "proprietary" windoze/intel ...
... maybe is called "industrial expionage" ? ...
... here is the "illuminati plan" and the "new world order" ...
... you kiss their ass when they give you or your computer the orders ...
... kleptocracy in global scale at the highest level ...
... if it was your average poor mobster they would call it extorsion and racketeering ...
... but since this has the us government "imprimatur" ...
... is called "digital rights" ...

13. So politics and economics are going to be significant here?

Exactly. The biggest profits in IT goods and services markets tend to go to companies that can establish platforms and control compatibility with them, so as to manage the markets in complementary products. A very topical example comes from computer printers. Since the Xerox N24 appeared in 1996, printer makers have been putting authentication chips in ink cartridges, so that printers can recognise third-party or refilled cartridges and refuse to work with them. Cartridge tying is now leading to trade conflict between the USA and Europe. In the USA, a court has granted Lexmark an injunction preventing the sale of cartridges with chips that interoperate with Lexmark's printers. Meanwhile, the European Commission has adopted a Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment which will force member states to outlaw, by the end of 2007, the circumvention of EU recycling rules by companies who design products with chips to ensure that they cannot be recycled.

This is not just a printer issue. Some mobile phone vendors use embedded authentication chips to check that the phone battery is a genuine part rather than a clone. The Sony Playstation 2 uses similar authentication to ensure that memory cartridges were made by Sony rather than by a low-price competitor. The Microsoft Xbox is no different. But up until now, everyone who wanted to engage in product tying had to come up with his own hardware technology. This could be cheap for hardware product vendors, but was too expensive for most software companies.

TC will enable application software vendors to engage in product tying and similar business strategies to their hearts' content. As the application vendor will control the security policy server, he can dictate the terms under which anyone else's software will be able to interoperate with his own. In the old days, software innovation was fast and furious because there were millions of PCs out there, with data in formats that were understood. So if you thought up a cool new way to manipulate address books, you could write an app that would deal with the half-dozen formats common in PCs, PDAs and phones, and you were in business: you had millions of potential clients. In the future, the owners of these formats will be very strongly tempted to lock them down using TC (`for your privacy') and charge third parties rental to access them. This will be bad for innovation. It's possible because the app policy server enforces arbitrary rules about which other applications will be allowed to use the files a TC app creates.

... I guess the new amerikan concept of "free market" ...
... is to own any other country market for free ...

Germany Prepares Plan to Pay Back Debt Mountain

German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrück is preparing an ambitious project: He wants his government to pay off its public debt within the next 30 years. The plan would involve cutting numerous government subsidies and repealing a raft of tax credits.

... very risky if not handled "moderatelly" ...
... historically most of attempts of reduction resulted in depressions ...
... the deviance with real inflation is only about 3 percent ...
... a 12 % standard inflation and a 4 % prime rate should be the target ...
... consolidation of foreign debt within the union should be high priority ...
... not to be affected by the usual currency speculation lobby ...
... financial coverage can either/both come from fixed costs reductions ...
... online transition (swiss) and government telecommuting (many) ...
... and/or from increased population levels and revenues ...
... seems to be a problem applying to the us more than germany ...
... us now is at about 60% of gnp so a reduction here means 1929 bis ...
... and a non-reduction implies inflation and dollar depreciation ...
... just my five cents ...

Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. That's 982,080,000 feet per second -- or 11,784,960,000 inches. In a billionth of a second, one nanosecond, photons of light travel just a bit less than a foot, not considering resistance in air or of an optical fiber strand or thin film. Just right for doing things very quickly in microminiaturized computer chips.

Directed Energy Weapons II (2004)
overview
Directed Energy Weapons have the potential to become the single most transforming weapon of the 21st Century. Despite further development still being needed to make energy weaponry a battlefield reality, it is no longer an issue of science and technology, it’s a matter of engineering. Directed Energy Weapons, that is High Energy Lasers and High Power Microwaves have the ability to change the very nature of warfare.

... guess fly by light is now a priority ...
