No ma sta diventando davvero insopportabile: prima quel coglione leghista, poi questo idiota che non sa manco quello che dice e spara cazzate a livello internazionale. Ma qualcuno si accorge di come ci guardi schifata ormai l’Europa? Questo Governo, invece di chiudere in bellezza, si sta auto-distruggendo sul finale, spargendo sale dietro di se come faceva Annibale.

Edit 23 Marzo 2006: Io ho torto e lui ha ragione. Lascio il post per chi volesse ridere della mia gaffe. Sono stato freagato dal fatto che la libreria JS che uso si occupava “di suo” ad ovviare alle limitazioni di security. Su SpaghettiAjax un tizio ha fatto una domanda: … Dunque mi sto documentando da poco su ajax e vorrei farmi un’idea sulla fattibilità di quanto segue: attualmente ho un WebService che espone determinati metodi. Poi ho una web application che sostanzialmente tramite una jsp richiama una servlet. Questa servlet richiede delle info al WS (tramite un metodo esposto) ed una volta ottenute le passa alla jsp che le visualizza. ...

While PostgreSQL’s adoption rate continues to accelerate, some folks wonder why that rate isn’t even steeper given its impressive array of features. One can speculate that many of the reasons for not considering its adoption tend to be based on either outdated or misinformed sources. In an effort to dispel some of the FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) surrounding this impressive product, instead, I’ll put forth several of the most commonplace reasons companies have for not investigating PostgreSQL further. ...

With the SketchUp Google Earth plugin, you can use Google Earth to view 3D models in their real-world context.

Cos’é un Italiofono? E’ uno che capisce solo l’italiano e, per tanto pertanto (ndDetro - Geppo, stavi come il falco :P ), molto simile ad uno specchio refrattario :D . Ok ok, scherzavo. Ho cmq da segnalare un interessante howto (molto completo) per introdurre ad Ajax tutti quegli sviluppatori italiani che non hanno alcuna voglia di usare Google e leggere qualche howto in inglese: Spaghetti Ajax. A parte il solito trito e ritrito cliché degli “Spaghetti” per indicare l’Italia, mi sembra un’ottima lettura per tutti.

Only because it’s necessary for security reasons: I’m very tyred to these annoying practies… ;) 2.0.2 Security Release An important security issue has been brought to the attention of the WordPress team and we have worked diligently to bring you a new stable release that addresses it. Our latest version 2.0.2 contains several bugfixes and security fixes. The problems addressed are unannounced XSS issues privately discovered and reported to the WordPress team. Thanks to Mark Jaquith, Robert Deaton, and David House for assisting with this release. Just a quick note: this is different than the snake-oil reports that went out on some security lists a few days ago. There were a couple, but they were either not actual security problems, too small to warrant a release, or just patently false. Remember: just because you read it on a mailing list doesn’t mean that it’s true. We’d be the first people to panic if there was an actual problem. As always, when something serious crosses our desks we jump on it and get a well-tested release out as soon as possible. ...

… la madre degli imbecilli é sempre incinta. Ho aggiornato il post di ieri relativo ai “test di sicurezza” su MacOSX: é quasi VERGOGNOSO scrivere dei titoli “sensazionalistici” al solo scopo di fare aumentare il numero di visite di un sito.

… o almeno iniziano a farlo. Io personalmente non avevo mai letto niente a proposito di test/challenge per il cracking di sistemi MacOSX (ce ne sono stati, ma sempre per dimostrare la robustezza di questi sistemi e di Linux rispetto a W32). Ebbene, ne sono stati lanciati già 2 (ma sicuramente altri ce ne sono e non ci (mi) sono pervenuti): RM MY MAC Mac OS X Security Challenge ...

Introduction A Multi-Seat Linux Box: This tutorial shows how to build a multi-head, multi-user Linux box using a recent distribution of Linux and standard USB keyboards and mice. Xorg calls this arrangement a "multi-seat" system. > Advantages of a Multi-Seat System: The advantages of multi-seat systems in schools, Internet cafes, and libraries include more than just saving money. They include much lower noise pollution, much less power consumption, and lowered space requirements. For many applications, power and noise budgets are as important as initial cost. http://www.detronizator.org/wp-admin/post.php Requirements: To build a multi-seat system you need a video adapter, keyboard, and mouse for each seat. For six seats, you'll also need a motherboard with an AGP slot and five available PCI slots. In our test system we used USB keyboards and mice exclusively, but you can use a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for one of the seats if you wish. > Xorg 6.9 or later is required, but this already ships with many of the major distributions. Our test system uses the free version of Mandriva 2006 and we did not rebuild the kernel or install any additional packages. Here for the full article. ...

Salve. Era da parecchio tempo che mi ripromettevo di farlo: finalmente adesso ho trovato il tempo per cominciare il mio studio del framework Cocoa. Ma prima, una citazione da Wikipedia: Cocoa is the dried and partially fermented fatty seed of the cacao tree from which chocolate is made. In the United States, ‘cocoa’ often refers to cocoa powder, the dry powder made by grinding cocoa seeds and removing the cocoa butter from the dark, bitter cocoa solids. By itself it has an extremely bitter flavor. ...
