      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m impressed. Today a lot of important things just happened, and I think it&amp;rsquo;s work putting them down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id=&#34;tahrir-square-pushes-hosni-mubarak-down&#34;&gt;Tahrir Square pushes Hosni Mubarak down&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After what he said yesterday night, I was not expecting this to happen so soon. &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12433045&#34;&gt;Mubarak stepped down&lt;/a&gt;! In addition of being a great news for all my friends that are directly or indirectly related to Egypt, this is an &lt;strong&gt;INCREDIBLE&lt;/strong&gt; news for something I tagged as &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;lost&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;hope&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know that probably this is OLD, but&amp;hellip; this is really funny! I have to say that [en:Bill Gates] surprised me for being so ironic about himself, his money and his power!
I still don&amp;rsquo;t like you Bill, but at least you are better than big-fat-idiot-[en:Steve Ballmer].&lt;/p&gt;</description>

[en:London] is one of the best place&amp;hellip; if you want to steal an iPod: as average, &lt;strong&gt;every&lt;/strong&gt; train in the tube has 10 iPods inside. And other 5 are inside any bus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But, because of this, the number of pod-snatching is very very high, and you can see in every station (particularly in Camden Town ;)) ads suggesting to &amp;ldquo;take care of your belongings&amp;rdquo;, a lot of them dedicated to the [en:iPod|Pod] of [en:Steve_Jobs|Jobs].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But now, there is a solution: and it comes from the smallest (LOL) competitor of iPod: [en:Zune|The MS Zune]!!! It is called &lt;a href=&#34;http://hideapod.com/&#34;&gt;Hide-a-Pod&lt;/a&gt;!!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Ieri sono passato, come di consueto, su &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ossblog.it/post/2827/linux-symbian-mobile-enterprise&#34;&gt;OSS|Blog.it&lt;/a&gt; e cosa ci trovo? Un brevissimo articolo su alcuni commenti che &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.symbian.com/about/overview/management/management.html&#34;&gt;Nigel Clifford&lt;/a&gt;, CEO di &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.symbian.com/&#34;&gt;Symbian&lt;/a&gt;, ha fatto su Linux e sul mercato degli smartphone con i piedi palmati.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ho provato ad inserire la mia risposta sul relativo post&amp;hellip; ma niente. Dice che sto spammando. Quindi&amp;hellip; provvedo a farlo da qui.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Allora.
Prima di essere assunto da Symbian, quando iniziai a studiarne la tecnologia e il Sistema Operativo, mi domandai come diavolo facevano a vendere una cosa così: Niente Eccezioni (Leave), niente (o quasi) thread (Active Objects), niente POSIX (almeno fino a quando mi hanno assunto, che è coinciso con il rilascio di P.I.P.S.), e&amp;hellip; niente STL (ma staremo a vedere ancora per quanto ;) ).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;In my opinion, Balmer is yelling because NO-ONE LIKES VISTA, PIRATES TOO!!! :D
Instead, &lt;strong&gt;everyone&lt;/strong&gt; is waiting &lt;del datetime=&#34;2007-02-21T14:03:55+00:00&#34;&gt;for steal&lt;/del&gt; Leopard!!! ;)&lt;/p&gt;

Yeasterday &lt;a href=&#34;http://blog.neminis.org/&#34;&gt;Nemo&lt;/a&gt; and I have found a post on &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ossblog.it/post/2033/ophcrack-vista-password-cracking&#34;&gt;OSSBlog&lt;/a&gt; about the new release of &lt;a href=&#34;http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/&#34;&gt;ophcrack 2.3.4&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ophcrack is a Windows password cracker based on rainbow tables. It is a very efficient implementation of rainbow tables done by the inventors of the method. It comes with a GTK+ Graphical User Interface and runs on [en:Windows], [en:Mac OS X] (Intel CPU) as well as on [en:Linux].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the last release, ophcrack supports [en:Windows Vista|Vista]. Mmmm&amp;hellip; sounds strange.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>XCode meets Mono</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&#34;Photo of a Mono&#34; loading=&#34;lazy&#34; src=&#34;http://akvis.com/img/examples/chameleon/chimpanzee-and-mask/chimpanzee-image.jpg&#34;&gt;
And&amp;hellip; seems to be a nice meeting. ;)
After a lot of development, the comunity surrounding the project realeases &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.2.3.1/&#34;&gt;last stable version 1.2.3.1&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.mono-project.com/&#34;&gt;Mono&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What about [en:Mac_OS_X|Mac OS X]? &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:OSX&#34;&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; is a &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:OSX&#34;&gt;dedicated page on the official wiki of Mono&lt;/a&gt;. And, in particular, I&amp;rsquo;m happy to highlight a &lt;a href=&#34;http://mono-project.com/CSharpPlugin&#34;&gt;tutorial/howto about XCode and Mono integration&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;a href=&#34;http://mono-project.com/CSharpPlugin&#34;&gt;CSharpPlugin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know that [en:Mono_(software)|Mono] is the open-source implementation of [en:.NET_Framework|.Net] (started by [en:Novell]), and that I hate [en:Microsoft|M$], but&amp;hellip; I can&amp;rsquo;t hate a framework. It&amp;rsquo;s like to hate the [en:Plutonium] because we make the [en:Atomic_Bomb] with it! ;)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Ci è sfuggita una sottigliezza...</title>
      <link>https://ivandemarino.me/posts/ci-sfuggita-una-sottigliezza/</link>
      <pubDate>Sat, 17 Feb 2007 12:49:39 +0000</pubDate><author>detronizator&#43;blog@gmail.com (Ivan De Marino, aka &#34;Zio Ivan&#34;, aka &#34;detro&#34;)</author>
      <guid>https://ivandemarino.me/posts/ci-sfuggita-una-sottigliezza/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;hellip; che però è più che fondamentale.
Quando siamo stati alla &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.detronizator.org/2007/02/13/e-la-chiamano-giornata-di-informazione-tecnologica/&#34;&gt;Giornata di Informazione Tecnologica&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo; ci siamo fatti &amp;ldquo;fregare&amp;rdquo; dalle parole degli Evangelist Microsoft circa una sottigliezza a dir poco SCONCERTANTE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Su [en:Windows_Vista|Windows Vista] non si possono installare programmi SE NON come Admin. Questo vuol dire che non si può installare nulla, nemmeno il [en:Mame] o l&amp;rsquo;emulatore della [en:Playstation|Play]. Con ovvie restrizioni all&amp;rsquo;usabilità (nonchè alla liberta) degli utenti.
E&amp;rsquo; ovvio che, che so, il [it:driver] della [it:Scheda Video] vada installato con permessi &amp;ldquo;elevati&amp;rdquo;: ma lo stesso non vale se voglio giocare a &lt;a href=&#34;http://aluminumangel.org/attack/&#34;&gt;CrackAttack&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ci hanno fregato con la storia della retrocompatibilità e della sandbox: su Vista, infatti, i programmi che tentano di scrivere nel registro o in file/directory di sistema vengono &amp;ldquo;fregati&amp;rdquo; a livello di API, redirigendo il loro output su una sandbox contenuta nella cartella utente. Molto bello. Ma ci devi arrivare ad installare ;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&#34;UAC&#34; loading=&#34;lazy&#34; src=&#34;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/93/UAC_File_Operation.jpg&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ma questo cosa comporterà (secondo me)? Che TUTTI si faranno account amministratore e useranno SOLO QUELLO, perché è naturale che non si vorrà essere infastiditi continuamente. Questo avrà la naturale conseguenza di eliminare ogni traccia della filosofia &amp;ldquo;l&amp;rsquo;account di Admin lo si usa solo se necessario&amp;rdquo;. E quindi di tutta l&amp;rsquo;architettura &amp;ldquo;SICURA&amp;rdquo; di questo (s)Vista.
E, a testimonianza di questo, gli stessi Evangelist lì presenti avevano TUTTI disabilitato la funzione di &amp;ldquo;chieder loro se continuare o meno quando un programma richiede di eseguire operazioni potenzialmente pericolose&amp;rdquo;: se nemmeno loro sopportano questi messaggi&amp;hellip; figurarsi l&amp;rsquo;utente.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seguono altre fonti.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <guid>https://ivandemarino.me/posts/e-la-chiamano-giornata-di-informazione-tecnologica/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Oggi ho partecipato alla &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;Giornata di Informazione Tecnologica&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo; organizzata dal &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.csi.unina.it/&#34;&gt;Centro di Ateneo per i Sistemi Informativi (C.S.I.)&lt;/a&gt; della &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.unina.it&#34;&gt;Federico II&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo;. In questa giornata &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.microsoft.com/italy/&#34;&gt;Microsoft Italia&lt;/a&gt; ci ha deliziato con un programma di tutto rispetto:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[en:.NET_Framework_3.0|.Net Framework 3.0]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[en:Windows_Presentation_Foundation|Windows Presentation Foundation]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[en:Office_2007|Office System 2007]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Microsoft [en:SQL_Server_2005|SQL Server 2005]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[en:Windows Vista]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dopo questa intera giornata di auto-fustigazione (resistere dal picchiare fisicamente i [en:Developer_and_Platform_Evangelism|Microsoft IT Pro Evangelist] è davvero una ardua prova&amp;hellip;), solo in uno modo posso esprimere quello che vorrei dire a tutta la società di Gates: &lt;a href=&#34;http://downloads.detronizator.org/Cosa_penso_di_Vista.mp3&#34;&gt;ECCOLO QUI&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&amp;hellip; because the [en:Microsoft|M$&amp;rsquo;s] mormons think to squeeze money from consumers also from this. I&amp;rsquo;m reading on &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.tuaw.com/2007/02/01/vista-eula-forbids-virtualization/&#34;&gt;TUAW&lt;/a&gt; that:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;hellip; This means that if you want to run Vista on Parallels, and want to keep within the terms of the EULA, you&amp;rsquo;ll need to buy either the Business or Ultimate versions, whose [en:EULA]s allow for virtualized use&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;M$ wants to control also the &amp;ldquo;environment&amp;rdquo; where Vista runs, not only what runs INSIDE Vista. Does it sound like&amp;hellip; [en:Mafia]? Where is our freedom to install the buyed system ANYWHERE WE WANT TO?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Il Dildo Cromato</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Lo so, potrà sembrare quasi volgare come definizione, ma&amp;hellip; quello è. Vista è questo. Una nuova interfaccia grafica strafica sul&amp;hellip; nulla. Niente di davvero nuovo. Nessuna rivoluzione. Solo tanti calcoli affaticanti per la nostra scheda 3D, che non regalano DAVVERO nulla di utile a livello di [it:Usabilità] ([it:Microsoft|M$] davvero non sa cosa sia&amp;hellip;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mi fa piacere segnalarvi un articolo che ho trovato su &lt;a href=&#34;http://it.theinquirer.net/2007/01/ecco_vista_cinque_anni_di_atte.html&#34;&gt;Inquier (versione Italiana)&lt;/a&gt;. Ecco un estratto:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prendete 10 persone e fate loro provare Vista; nessuno, oltre la rutilante facciata, sarà capace di trovare altro che un bell&amp;rsquo;aspetto.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;LOL!
Aren&amp;rsquo;t you confused about the hundreds&amp;hellip; thousands kinds, versions, upgrades of [en:Windows_Vista|Vista]? Really [en:Microsoft|M$] thinks that users doesn&amp;rsquo;t have nothing better to do that read a brochure full of useless and incomprehensible differences?&lt;/p&gt;

I&amp;rsquo;m not surprised about this: Zune have NO APPEAL!!! Look at EVERY iPod: the Apple&amp;rsquo;s product is so&amp;hellip; sexy ;)
About the Zune features? Oh sure, they are amazing: but do you really think this is a very good motivation to prefer it instead of iPod? With the new &amp;ldquo;iPod Touchscreen&amp;rdquo; under-development?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>A proposito dell&#39;Usabilità</title>

      <guid>https://ivandemarino.me/posts/a-proposito-dell-usabilit/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Questo post vuole essere qualcosa in più di un commento al &lt;a href=&#34;http://blog.neminis.org/sistemi-operativi-la-guerra-della-copia.xhtml&#34;&gt;post di Nemo a proposito della &amp;ldquo;Guerra della Copia&amp;rdquo;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In particolare, voglio citare &lt;em&gt;Time Machine&lt;/em&gt; (prossimo venturo in &lt;strong&gt;Leopard aka Mac OS X 10.5&lt;/strong&gt;) e &lt;em&gt;Previous Version&lt;/em&gt; (prossimo venturo in &lt;strong&gt;Vista aka il-sistema-operativo-in-perenne-sviluppo&lt;/strong&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Usabilità e Semplicità.
Sta tutta qui la chiave.
Ed è qui proprio il punto dove dissento dal parere di Nemo: come informatici, sappiamo bene quanto l&amp;rsquo;Usability sia parte integrante dello sviluppo di un Software.
Si possono avere migliaia di features fantastiche:&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Windows Vista più complicato dei precedenti</title>

In questo si legge la filosofia ERRATA di M$.
&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.microsoft.com/italy/windows/windowsvista/getready/default.mspx&#34;&gt;Un sacco di versioni&lt;/a&gt;, come a voler giustificare delle fasce di prezzo: più vuoi, più paghi.
Quando in realtà l&amp;rsquo;unica cosa che fanno é togliere e mettere delle DLL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cosa succede? Succede che le persone, gli utenti, impazziscono per cercare di capire quale sia la migliore versione per far questo o quello. Davvero una politica scorretta e poco vicina ai bisogni dell&amp;rsquo;utenza: non capisco proprio come lo si possa presentare come &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;IL&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt; Sistema Operativo User-Friendly.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Malgrado i &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.detronizator.org/2006/04/11/risultati-elezioni-politiche-2006-2/&#34;&gt;tempi&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.detronizator.org/2006/04/11/risultati-elezioni-politiche-2006-1/&#34;&gt;dedicati&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.detronizator.org/2006/04/09/il-fondamentale-attimo-storico-che-viviamo/&#34;&gt;quasi&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.detronizator.org/2006/04/09/ho-votato-senza-turarmi-il-naso/&#34;&gt;per&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.detronizator.org/2006/04/09/x-day/&#34;&gt;intero&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.detronizator.org/2006/04/07/brogli/&#34;&gt;a&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.detronizator.org/2006/04/07/per-sapere-bisogna-combattere-il-sapere/&#34;&gt;queste&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.detronizator.org/2006/04/07/tutti-contro-berlusca-4-il-pagliaccio-da-salotto/&#34;&gt;elezioni&lt;/a&gt;, c&amp;rsquo;é chi ancora ha il tempo di pensare alle cose più divertenti.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mountain View (USA) - L&amp;rsquo;ultimo acquisto tecnologico in casa Google si chiama Orion ed è un algoritmo nato dalla mente del giovane Ori Allon, uno studente israeliano di 26 anni che studia informatica a Melbourne, in Australia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Orion, che ha già sollevato l&amp;rsquo;attenzione di Microsoft e incassato gli applausi di Bill Gates, è uno dei più promettenti sistemi di ricerca testuale sul mercato, in grado di migliorare la pertinenza dei risultati di ricerca inquadrando il sito di interesse in un network di spazi web vicini per &amp;ldquo;senso&amp;rdquo; e &amp;ldquo;argomento&amp;rdquo;.
&amp;ldquo;Con questo nuovo algoritmo si è in grado di aumentare la precisione delle ricerche testuali&amp;rdquo;, dice il giovane Allon. &amp;ldquo;Orion dà modo di sapere con precisione la pertinenza della nostra ricerca perché estrapola le parole chiavi associate alla chiave di ricerca&amp;rdquo;, spiega il creatore, &amp;ldquo;così da offrire una profondità di ricerca molto più elevata&amp;rdquo;.
Un esempio pratico? Una ricerca effettuata con la stringa &amp;ldquo;risorgimento italiano&amp;rdquo; dà accesso ad una lista di temi associati, come ad esempio &amp;ldquo;Garibaldi&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;Statuto Albertino&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;Cavour&amp;rdquo;. L&amp;rsquo;utente potrà accedere a questa rete semantica in modo immediato ed intuitivo, così da avere &amp;ldquo;maggiori informazioni senza dover essere esperti dei motori di ricerca&amp;rdquo;, sottolinea Allon. I risultati vengono presentati in modo tale, che ancor prima di visitare i siti di interesse l&amp;rsquo;utente possa capire se sono realmente pertinenti con quanto stava ricercando.
Il giovane programmatore ha già lasciato l&amp;rsquo;Australia ed ora lavora presso gli uffici del quartiere generale californiano di Google. Prima di BigG, anche Yahoo! ed MSN avevano avviato le trattative per acquistare i diritti d&amp;rsquo;uso su Orion, sapendo che precisione e buoni risultati sono fondamentali nella competizione tra motori di ricerca. Un algoritmo innovativo, sostengono gli esperti, può determinare una posizione dominante sul mercato.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

On it.Wikipedia:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s a latin expression that means &amp;ldquo;simply, it&amp;rsquo;s that&amp;rdquo;. Used in order to emphasize that &lt;em&gt;the things are in this way&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;there is nothing that needs a clarification&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here, the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2006/feb06/02-26WinVistaProductsPR.mspx&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Microsoft Unveils Windows Vista Product Lineup&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A nice extract:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Windows Vista product lineup consists of &lt;strong&gt;six&lt;/strong&gt; versions, &lt;strong&gt;two&lt;/strong&gt; for businesses, &lt;strong&gt;three&lt;/strong&gt; for consumers, and &lt;strong&gt;one&lt;/strong&gt; for emerging markets: Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Vista Starter. The number of offerings is the same as the number of offerings currently available for Windows® XP. More important, &lt;strong&gt;the lineup is designed to deliver clear value to a broad range of customers&lt;/strong&gt;, each product tailored to meet specific needs of various segments of customers — home PC users, small and medium-sized businesses and the largest enterprises — and is aimed at bringing 64-bit, Media Center and Tablet PC functionality into the mainstream.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Microsoft, because of the STOP to development of &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=windowsmedia&#34;&gt;Windows Media Player for MacOSX&lt;/a&gt;, make a &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/flip4mac.mspx&#34;&gt;page&lt;/a&gt; on our site where we can download a nice thing: a plugin for QuickTime aims to view Windows Media Files.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seems to be a good product: I will update you soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The plugin is &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_upgrades.htm&#34;&gt;Flip4Mac&lt;/a&gt;. The company behind this piece of code is Telestream, that &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_upgrades.htm&#34;&gt;sell other plugins to import/edit WMF&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a question: &lt;a href=&#34;http://money.cnn.com/2004/04/06/news/newsmakers/worldswealthiestupdate/&#34;&gt;M$ is the richest company in the World&lt;/a&gt; and&amp;hellip; needs third-part plugin to make our file-formats viewable on MacOSX? It&amp;rsquo;s a Joke? :| ( :lol: )&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Che capatone che sono queste vignette: sono simpaticissime.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Un simpatico iMac (2 versioni fa ormai, ;-( come passa il tempo, eh?) ed un PC con installato WinXP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Un esempio?:

      <title>Windows Vista will cut off the UI from the Kernel</title>
      <link>https://ivandemarino.me/posts/windows-vista-will-cut-off-the-ui-from-the-kernel/</link>

      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;hellip; The company has already announced to developers that most drivers, including graphics, will run in user mode - which means that they don&amp;rsquo;t get access to the privileged kernel mode (or Ring 0). At this level, a process can do anything it likes, including overwriting memory that doesn&amp;rsquo;t belong to it. The result of such overwriting by (usually) buggy code is often a system crash. So the move should result in greater reliability, because crashing drivers cause some 89 per cent of system crashes in Windows XP, according to Microsoft. When run in user mode, they won&amp;rsquo;t be able to bring down the entire system&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>L&#39;università non sceglie Linux</title>
      <link>https://ivandemarino.me/posts/l-universit-non-sceglie-linux/</link>
      <pubDate>Fri, 16 Dec 2005 22:28:42 +0000</pubDate><author>detronizator&#43;blog@gmail.com (Ivan De Marino, aka &#34;Zio Ivan&#34;, aka &#34;detro&#34;)</author>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Interessante digressione di &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ossblog.it/post/256/luniversita-non-sceglie-linux#more&#34;&gt;OSBlog&lt;/a&gt; su un problema PESANTEMENTE SENTITO da me (come altri miei colleghi) dell&amp;rsquo;uso &lt;strong&gt;SBAGLIATO, INDISCRIMINATO E SENZA MOTIVO &lt;/strong&gt;di software a pagamento nei centri di ricerca e nelle università (soprattutto dove si potrebbe evitare, &lt;strong&gt;anche e soprattutto per motivi didattici&lt;/strong&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dal &lt;strong&gt;mio&lt;/strong&gt; punto di vista, sono diversi anni che suggerisco (ormai sempre con meno vigore&amp;hellip; &lt;em&gt;gli ignoranti restino ignoranti&lt;/em&gt;) nel mio ambiente universitario l&amp;rsquo;uso di software opensource lì dove se ne trarrebbe SOLO vantaggio. Leggasi vantaggi economici, vantaggi didattici (usare un sistema unix accresce e di molto le proprie conoscenze informatiche), vantaggi &amp;ldquo;amministrativi&amp;rdquo; (l&amp;rsquo;Università, la mia facoltà potrebbe tranquillamente scegliere 3/4 ragazzi in gamba per gestirsi sito web e tanti servizi ad esso correlati&amp;hellip; invece si affida ad aziende che si fanno pagare contratti milionari per fare cose che dei bravi studenti (magari sotto la guida di un buon docente) potrebbero TRANQUILLAMENTE fare da soli).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Google will not sell music...</title>
      <link>https://ivandemarino.me/posts/google-will-not-sell-music/</link>

      <guid>https://ivandemarino.me/posts/google-will-not-sell-music/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;hellip; but continue to do the thing that Google make in the BEST WAY: &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.google.com/musicsearch&#34;&gt;http://www.google.com/musicsearch&lt;/a&gt;.
This is the new service that the big G offers: centralization of Music search, getting data from stores like&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&amp;amp;q=http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum%3FplaylistId%3D362114&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&#34;&gt;iTunes Music Store&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&amp;amp;q=http://music.msn.com/album/%3Falbum%3D29453810%26affid%3D100003&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&#34;&gt;MSN Music&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&amp;amp;q=http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp%3FPID%3D1076659%26style%3Dmusic%26frm%3Dfrooglemusic&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&#34;&gt;CD Universe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&amp;amp;q=http://www.real.com/dmm/rhapsody25/artist%3Fartistid%3D44%26cpath%3Dgonebx%26ocode%3Dgoogleoneboxr25&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&#34;&gt;Real Rhapsody&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and some others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Offers &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.google.com/musicl?lid=6h3L5qiH1EN&amp;amp;aid=Tr6ABaeOCIO&#34;&gt;Album indicization&lt;/a&gt; (obviously) and other amazing services like &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.google.com/musics?lid=6h3L5qiH1EN&amp;amp;aid=Tr6ABaeOCIO&amp;amp;sid=7RoT4fORAOL&#34;&gt;lyrics&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope Google offers APIs (really? I&amp;rsquo;m sure he will do!): in a little amount of time some applications will use the informations stored in this Services to increase our beautiness :D (examples? some OpenSource application can retrieve Lyrics from the Google &amp;ldquo;auto-magically&amp;rdquo;!).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&#34;xbox sample image&#34; loading=&#34;lazy&#34; src=&#34;http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/console2_big.jpg&#34;&gt;
I really don&amp;rsquo;t know that &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.datamanager.it/articoli.php?idricercato=13412&#34;&gt;before&lt;/a&gt; (article in italian), but it&amp;rsquo;s REALLY ABSURD!!!
I (ipotetically, &lt;strong&gt;I HATE MS&lt;/strong&gt;(not the cigarettes ;))) had spent much money for some games and now, if I want to buy a new Xbox 360, MS does not make the console &amp;ldquo;immediatly retrocompatible&amp;rdquo; but&amp;hellip; I need to spend other money for a &amp;ldquo;plug-in&amp;rdquo; (I don&amp;rsquo;t know what exactly but&amp;hellip; it&amp;rsquo;s irrelevant).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why people buy these products?
Why does not buy the Sony Console that is retrocompatible &amp;ldquo;by project&amp;rdquo;!?!?!?!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
