Per chi volesse utilizzare Naviga 3 con Gnome-ppp, ecco il wvdial.conf relativo. Da notare che Gnome-ppp non utilizza /etc/wvdial.conf ma piuttosto /home/<utente>/.wvdial…
Testato su Ubuntu Feisty con Lg U310, cavo usb, gnome-ppp v.0.3.23-1.
Non e’ necessario inserire user e password, quelli presenti sono placeholder ma necessari, non c’e’ bisogno di modificarli.

L’Ansari X-Prize, il premio messo in palio da Google inc. e dalla X prize Foundation destinerà 30 milioni di dollari al team che riuscirà a proporre un valido progetto per un robot autonomo in grado di essere inviato sulla Luna, muoversi, riprendere e inviare immagini del paesaggio.
Fra i primi 10 team che sono stati selezionati, troviamo i colleghi italiani del Team Italia (pagina ufficiale del Team Italia), guidati dalla Prof.ssa Amalia Ercoli Finzi.
Il Team Italia e’ composto da elementi dei due Politecnici (Milano e Torino) e delle Universita’ La Sapienza di Roma e Federico II di Napoli, col supporto di alcuni tra i maggiori gruppi aerospaziali del nostro paese.
Mi piacerebbe vedere sventolare una modesta bandierina italiana sulla Luna.
Non resta che augurargli in bocca al lupo, o come da tradizione, Godspeed.

Five days ago,a bit late, on 15th of February, it was the 20th anniversary of the death of Richard P. Feynman, one of the greatest theoretical physicists of the 20th century and one of the most influent person in my life (indirectly, of course).
Vogliamo ricordarlo cosi’:
(a lot of posts, tonight…)
Thanks to this post I finally discovered how to boot my Toshiba M30 from Usb sticks.
With the USB stick attached, simply go to the BIOS and it will be presented under Hard disks (not under removable devices…). Change the order, and it will boot.
The fault is all yours… (j.k.)
but you can solve as described here
(that’s is, Ubuntu: System / Windows / Movement Key, and pick “Super” instead of “Alt”.)
Year 2008, and still cheap encryption could bring a false sense of security.
./ has a story on cracking (not literally) and encrypted hard disk open.

You may think you payed less and still got AES, and what you got was the old’and safe (pun intended) XOR.
It reminds me of another XOR story so much, that I’m starting collecting it.
If you know more, please send them.
UPDATE: truecrypt-5.1a-ubuntu-x64 is now available from truecrypt.com so there’s no apparent need to compile your own amd64 deb (unless you’re so paranoid, of course).
I can confirm that Truecrypt 5.0a compiles and works on Ubuntu Amd64 Feisty fawn (7.04) using Heinzelotto 64 bit patch for Truecrypt 5.0 and wxWidgets 2.6.7.
No problems with ld neither this time.
buliwoof: are you on Ubuntu? It seems to me we’re not using the same ld version or yours lacks some options.
Please check you have ld version 2.17.50 20070103 or newer.
For reference, my old article on patching and compiling is here
Oggi ho letto prevalentemente il QUARTO PROTOCOLLO (the fourth protocol), trovandolo veramente geniale e originale (salvo qualche sezione leggermente prolissa).
I finally fixed the remain issue with the missing flash plugin on my amd64 base pc running ubuntu 7.04 Feisty.
I don’t want to upgrade right now, and swf-player wasn’t working for me.
I decided to follow the steps outlined here (in Italian, and it’s a wiki, so I’m not responsible for what you may found there!)

Ogni tanto pure io pero’ ne imbrocco una carina
Looking at the logs, there are various explanations for this issue. My was a little more stranger than usual: Flickr would say failed, while Wordpress would correctly show the test post.
I found my solution looking at the logs.
[client xxxxxxxx] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of ********* bytes exhausted (tried to allocate ***** bytes) in ****************/wp-includes/cache.php on line **
See also: http://www.ktulu.it/2008/01/12/fatal-error-in-wordpress/
The solution was simple; just add this line to your .htaccess file (assuming your can access it)
php_value memory_limit XX000000
where XX you can put your reasonable amount of memory (those are bytes).
Maybe you can tweak it raising it step by step. Simply writing down a large amount is not very healthy.
Anyway, 99% it’s your side fault, not Flickr fault.
Apple and the war against the user-replaceable battery
by ZDNet’s Adrian Kingsley-Hughes –
Apple has to be the most high-profile hardware manufacturer on the planet. Whatever it is that comes out of Cupertino is instantly put under intense scrutiny, and as a rule pundits are divided - some love Apple products, while others hate them. Me, I feel divided. Some Apple products fit in with my lifestyle perfectly, while others just don’t light my fire. But one design aspect of Apple’s latest product offerings bothers me greatly - and that’s the gradual eradication of the user-replaceable battery.
I’m not against Microsoft, I’m not against Google, and I don’t work for them.
Google, is not going to come and rescue anyone but itself. Nor the poor Yahoo,neither the poor Flickr users.
Flickr powered by Vista(tm) is not pleasant. I can see that.
Going against Microsoft is not unreasonable, may sound very cool, but it’s starting to feel very common-place and old-fashioned.
The biggest problem, the way I see it, is not Microsoft buying Yahoo.
There’s no Good Company in this story, so our chances of a pretty ending are scarce.
Information, time has teached us, is valuable as much as you can find it when you need it.
Whoever has the search engine monopoly has the power to present the information the way he likes, and if it likes to.
Whoever buys Yahoo, will get a positive advantage against other search engine.
Maybe Microsoft buying Yahoo is not the scariest scenario.
What if…
And that’s very scary, way much more than Flickr being powered by Windows CE.
Maybe it’s not time to stand for Flickr, but time to go against anyone who gets the total monopoly of search engines. The World and the Internet we wish and we used to know may be much more important that our bunch of photos.
Just my 2 cents.
Dopo anni di catene di S.Antonio del Cazzo, finalmente una catena carina.
La Follia decise di invitare i suoi amici a prendere un caffè da lei.
Dopo il caffè, la Follia propose: ‘Si gioca a nascondino?’.
‘Nascondino? Che cos’è?’ - domandò la Curiosità.
‘Nascondino è un gioco. Io conto fino a cento e voi vi nascondete.
Quando avrò terminato di contare, cercherò e il primo che troverò
sarà il prossimo a contare’.
