De Senso

Assumiamo, per questa analisi, che Dio non esista, definendo per Dio qualsiasi essere superiore.

Se non esiste un Dio, vuol dire che tutto quello che succede nell'universo (e anche fuori, se c'è qualcosa) dipende da qualcos'altro rispetto a quello che l'uomo ha pensato negli ultimi 200.000 anni. Avendo eliminato per ipotesi, che esista ogni tipo di essere superiore ci rimangono, come possibilità, solo le leggi della fisica e il 'caso'.

Microsoft brevetta sudo

Il brevetto 7617530 del 10 Novembre 2009, depositato da Microsoft, descrivere il concetto di elevare temporaneamente i diritti di un determinato utente. In pratica quello che svolte sudo dall’alba dei tempi informatici.
La blogosfera si sta molto preoccupando per questa cosa e sta gridando allo scandalo perché affermano sbagliato il comportamento dell'ufficio brevetti americano. Io penso che, semplicemente, queste persone non hanno idea di come funzioni il sistema di brevetti americano. Infatti è molto diverso da quello europeo (e italiano).

Phonon backends

I remember that a guy (tkrotoff) did a lot of work for the integration of phonon with more backends (initial GSoC project).

Now the situation is this one, as far as I have found with google:

Tor in my PPA for Jaunty and Karmic

For same weird reasons there is no tor package in the ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu/edubuntu package archive.
I provide one :)

To be able to install it do:
sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.listor, if you are working in gnome:sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.listadd these lines:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/f4l3/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/f4l3/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
if you are using karmic, or
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/f4l3/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Rekonq daily automatized

I only wanted to update you saying that since the last version (the current one present in my PPA, in the moment I'm writing) there is a bot that will update my PPA daily rekonq version. This update will happened at 5.10 AM CEST (that's 3.10AM UTC during summer time and 4.10AM UTC during winter time). I hope you'll enjoy it :).

PS: as Alexander van Loon pointed out, I forgot to put the url at the PPA. Here it is: https://launchpad.net/~f4l3/+archive/ppa

Rekonq daily

I have seen that Rekonq is in the official karmic repository, than I decided to install it from there instead from sources. After the install, I have seen that was pretty buggy (mainly problems with cookies). With a quick research on google I found that the main developer (Andrea Diamantini) have fixed it in trunk. The result? I created the package on my ppa (https://launchpad.net/~f4l3/+archive/ppa). I will recompile it every day ;), so if you want to join me using it... you are welcome ;).
