yescomment : IL VERO VOLTO DI BERLUSCONI (Dec 17 2003 06:33 GMT) - Berlusconi ha dovuto calare la maschera. L ultima che gli rimaneva, quella del finto rispetto per l unica persona ancora al di sopra di lui, il Presidente della Repubblica. Perchè le altre maschere, lungo il vergognoso percorso, le aveva già calate tutte, una dopo l altra, con sempre maggior precipitazione e minore ritegno. La prima era stata quella del buon padre di famiglia, che aveva promesso ai suoi 50 milioni di bambini di metter a posto la nostra casetta un pò disastrata: appena eletto invece, ha annunciato che l Italia non si governa come tutte le altre casette del mondo - cioè come delle nazioni, con tutta la complessità che un termine del genere può comportare ma come una semplice e brillante industria, di biscotti piuttosto che non di peperoni, di cui ovviamente lui è capo e padrone assoluto. |

commission agrees us access to eu citizen personal data (Dec 17 2003 06:31 GMT) - The European Commission has struck a deal with the US Department of Homeland Security allowing the handing over of data on EU citizens travelling to the US by airlines. The US currently requires access to airlines' Passenger Name Record (PNR) data, while EU privacy law forbids its transfer to the US. After some amendments which the Commission describes as concessions, however, the US' proposed treatment of this data has been deemed sufficient to rate an "adequacy" finding, and thus passes muster in the Commission's view. leer completo en The Register |

GNU diction for Panther (Dec 17 2003 06:30 GMT) - I like using GNU diction and it?s style counterpart when I need to do a quick analysis of a chunk of text. They were available for Mac OS X using the Fink package manager for Mac OS X 10.1 but I think the packages were orphaned and currently need a maintainer. If you have Fink installed you can compile diction and style for Mac OS X Panther using the config. |
