I've Reformatted Again! Now I've ME and XP togheter (they kill one another!) !

Long long time ago there was Windows Me, who didn't want to know to run an entire year;
Its primary task was to corrupt itself. Too much altruist this ME, a true gentleman to say at all. It demanded very little, but it often burned from the world.

Thus I decided to restore my PC, now reduced to continuous swaps, blocked applications, and folder turned into random bits, with the risk to lose many many important files.... if they were , at the end, not so important someone can discover just after the fright.

Just one years ago I failed trying to install Me and XP on the same hard disk, but it was a challenge that didn't convinced to me... I was wrong about something. I swore to myself that I tryied every possibility, but my error was systemic: bad confidence with formatting parameters.

This year 2008 the challenge repeated itself, but , probably, I was more fierced.
I've used an Open Source partition program well done that I suggest to you:
Gnome Partition
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/

With this Open Source utility (freeware) you can fragmenting an hard disk in many parts, so you will obtain many drive letters as result (ex. C: D: E: F:...)


For example Windows ME can read just FAT32 formatting method, but it cannot view more than 130 Gb.
If you partition the hard disk of 150 Gb you can reach all the area in storage without unuseful loss.

I've decided like follow:

• 20 Gb FAT32 (for Windows Me)
• 50 Gb FAT32 (for Windows XP)
• Resto FAT32 (for shared data, such as Mp3, Movies or other).
  

But, what I need more to be able to use an Hard Disk as an Operative System from starting ?
It's here that I've got wrong on year ago... Every formatting unit have some Flags that complete the unit for the usage.
Gnome Partition divided correctly the hard drive, but forgot to say to me that I should have to set the following flag to put my units on working:

• Bootable (At least for the unit C:)
• LBA (for every partition - I manage addressing to more than 500 Mb )
  

I must admit that at the end the results return many rewards... Windows XP is perfect for network operations and internet, while upon ME I've practically a bag full of programs that I don't want to lose.

In confidence, we are just speaking about a Pentium3 800Mhz with 500Mb di RAM...
but everything works fine and when this happen a machine awake again.

But now... it's time to look for a new computer. It's coming "Mass Effect" ;)

Hail to the Smanettons!

There are people in power in Italy that envy the charisma of the youngs, envy their passion, envy the dexterity they have with new technologies.

There are people in power in Italy that has no ideals, hopes, even True friends.
People, that are impregnated by the "stench of compromise, without having never tasted the fresh oxygen of the honesty. "

There are people in power that instead of creating roads for the future, sews Gags for the present. Gags for the Information, for the freedom of thought, or for the single after they isolated him.

There are people in power who believes to be something higher than any human being, a "more" with "more power" and then, they expect to find someone that respects "more" their choices .... (yeah-okkay..).

These people should understand that they have a mandate of "hard work" to respect, a kind of strong start in a long uphill march ...
None of the above. These people think they have reached the end, and they're trying to convince us all.

The law against Blog is yet another demonstration, inapplicable, of how between reality and these people, lies an abyss.

I agree to Free Blogger initiative. Do you too.

(Gocce Nere sul Progresso) Black Rain on Progress

Fall down the rain upon urban traffic,
Scende la pioggia sul traffico urbano,
as tears upon a dirty children face,
come lacrime sul volto sporco di bambino,
and trace paths of a heavy color
e traccia sentieri d'un greve colore
leaving to see a gray nerve inside.
lasciando scorgere un grigio nervino.

Black the night falls upon crazy machines,
Nera la notte sovvien, su macchine folli,
emblem of a schizophrenic Age now dark,
schizofrenico emblema d'un Era ormai buia,
and rain and wind seem striving hands
e pioggia e vento sembran mani protese
that beg the man to stop that Inferno.
che supplican l'uomo di fermare la bolgia.

Neon shimmering on wet roads,
Neon luccicanti su strade bagnate,
between filthy geometries spitted out on the green,
tra sporche geometrie sputate sul verde,
these are the benefits of a virtual world
son questi i vantaggi d'un mondo virtuale
which kills with ardor what is pure reality.
che uccide con foga ciò che è pura realtà.

The man has been lost running after the carousel,
L'uomo s'è perso al rincorrer la giostra,
spurred by false provincial joust-men,
sospinto dai falsi giostrai di provincia,
running or escaping, in the rush of Nothing
correndo o scappando, nella fretta del Nulla
sweeps the land without a flinch.
travolge la terra senza battere ciglia.

Among the many lost inside unclean turbines,
Tra i tanti che presi dal turbine immondo,
not even a man turns back to look,
neppur v'e nè uno che si volge a guardare,
if there is a true need for running in circle
se è vero bisogno lo correre in tondo
or it's just a joke of the beastly ignoring.
oppure uno scherzo del lordo ignorare.

There are not many words that describe the motion
Non vi son gran parole che descrivono il moto
if there isn't the strength to read just a row
se neppur v'è la forza di leggere un rigo
to lock what has never had an aim
per bloccare ciò che non ha mai avuto scopo
and to see a future within a flower colors.
e vedere un futuro entro un fior colorito.

Would you excuse just a row, just another more one,
Scusate la riga, un'altra soltanto,
that has no color, no dust or asbestos:
Non ha alcun colore, nè polvere o amianto:
"Although man knows that life is suffering,
"Benché l'uomo sappia che la vita è soffrire,
he does not understand yet how it's right to die".
ancor non comprende com'è giusto morire" .

Reality perception of a Videogamer

We live in a virtual world.
Reality doesn't exist, it's a trick obtained by chemical processes and electrical impulses.

Everything, every object, every person have the right connections that force our mind to believe to all that happens under our eyes, or created by our hands, but all of this doesn't exist. Reality is the new videgame of the moment.

We could be sitting or layed or in amorphis state into a parallel world while we "live" our reality, but plugged connections deceive us where we are, who we are and what we are doing. In brief, Matrix™ isn't a movie... it's a documentaire with a love story inside.

Perhaps this is the most fluid, immersive, and playable game ever created for us and for our "hardware", the human body, and suggested to our minds who knows how.
Surely a NPG (non playable gamer) didn't know of what he's done until some code answer this question:

Lawyers, road sweepers, politicians, managers and farmers, everyone connected, everyone in debugging mode upon their application area.
And who's playing with us, who's manouvering us, who is handling or simply commanding ?

Problaby God, with a pure light mouse that drawn the world, populated it and now is playing a Spore/GTA/Command&Conquer with us; or better, using us.

And wha about us when we joke of the funny creatures of Spore, without undestanding the irony below!

God himself created the man "as him was", and so many coders did, putting inside their videogames some elements that surrounded them... so when will we see a NPG that create his own videogame using the elements that surround him ?

The road, if you think, is this, a massive clonation that push itself where the madness can lie.
And what about this madness, let's define madness:"Short-circuit that join different elements and solve the value inside the internal code of a simple human, randomly taken from the application-world in execution".

And what about the Origins? The Reincarnation ? Probably we never disconnected from this irreal application. Simply the MainFrame gives us a new ID and we restart as new.

At the beginning we were monkeys, then barbarians, then vikings and now we are just evolved beings that interrogate themselves about what they are, and why some cicles infinitly repeat themselves during time pass.

Why war repeat themselves ? Why errors do the same ? The so-called systemic anomaly that flood around and break the common rules of the main subroutines. So there is no upgrades for us ?

My madness ends here, upon this blog. I don't know if this is sickness, ipervision or simply an introspective sistemic analysis. I leave to your applications but I renew to you the meaning of life.

Above us , it wins who uses less IDs in 1000 years of gameplay. Up for grabs of this Unreal Tournament of the Gods, there is a Fotonic MegaBlounter with electrostatic-impulses to irradiate infinite energy inside the instanced universes .

System Halted.

Here how Corruption Works in ITALY

Today I will show to you how corruption in Italy works, with a simple video. Just Look it now!

This POST supports the Beppe Grillo's Post about corruption in Italy, that reached a very repsectable (in negative) level thanks to the Parliament caste that autoelected itself deleting the "direct preference of the candidate" , using instead just a "political party preference".
Just 1 law and we are fucked .
But be carefull , the caste is so convincted that wants to expand this law to the European Parliament!

Ah, This means that Videogame Sector will never grow down here...

Ciao to Everyone.

Poll : "Have you ever Bought a Shareware Game ?"

At the poll: "Have you ever Bought a Shareware Game ?" you answered as follow:

• Yes , Often : 0
• Yes, barely : 1
• Not : 4
• I hate Shareware: 0
• What? Shareware!? : 0

Well, we cannot say that the result is incredible for this "hidden" market... fortunately no one hates Shareware or worst, doesn't know what they are.

Anyway, Shareware is, in my opinion, the best market for indipendent developers.
It's a microcosm where it's not important how much graphics there is or how much billions has been spent in advertising... in Shareware it's important the immediacy and the PATHOS.

Now take thsi Shareware game, and tell to me if it doesn't deserve as well as many other titles advertised: AQUARIA

I also put a good video, just to not waste your time for nothing:




Aloha to everyone, and take a look to the next Poll!

The Shit Alibi

In these days I often hear speaking about crap, and every time it's used in a negative way.
"You are a Shit One!", "Piece of Crap!", "Crappy One!", "We are up Shit creek!", "U undestand less than a Crap!"... and so on.
The vulgars are capable to associate the most coloured and twisted associations using this word:"Crap!".
It seems that this faecal substance, colourful brown and with horrific smell, was an emblem of what is most negative we have, and surely, surround us.

Anyway, I've put myself the following question: Is shit so negative for sure ?

Well, if I think the usefulness that higly placed man does, it's truly negative. He sits on the Shit-throne and began to push, trying to restrict the practice to a short period, because it's not so appropriate to his class. If he find inside public toilets, he moderates also the emitted noises with skilled movements of the chest, reproaching himself at the first mistake.

Sportsmen instead obtain a good regularity and boast themselves about the fact that they cannot carry too much, because they have a carved and dry physic...

Even the baby rejects this harmful substance infecting various white collectors that parents insist to substitute, perhaps to put baby to the test: can you make dirty also this one?

But I return to my question. Is Shit so negative ?
When the answer is too difficult Wiki is ready!

Even without the extreme wisdom advantage on the subject is right to consider one thing: we are a small ring in the life cycle. If we wouldn't defecate, we could not be part of this cycle.
Why?
Simple, because our output, the shit, becomes input for something else.
For example, if I dig a pit, then I shit inside and I let fall 2 sunflower seeds, and I well cover everything with good land, occasionally watering, I'll obtain that from viscid excrement born a flower, colorful, beautiful, radiant.

Try the same thing using a Suv!
You can obtain at Max a sanction for landfill diversion.
The shit is so useful that if it would be used to produce electricity we would live a world filled with oxygen and smelling of violets. Somebody has decided that coal and toxic waste and non ecologic ashes gave less in the eye.

But still, if I take a nice kilo of shit still hot, and I stretch it with hay and yeast, making it dry under the sun, I get the famous "pan of dung", which represents a valuable food in poor countries.
Try the same thing with yogurt. Of course, that's good, but the plastic container and protection in aluminium where do they finish? Of course, in the dustbin, that goes into an Incinerator furnace.
And then, after you burned them, what do they produce? Of course Carcinogenic toxins and ash. In practice, we eat for a second time that container, breathing by the nose and dying of cancer.

The shit is life! Think about information it holds. A piece of shit identifies everything about a person, even uses, customs and habits ... scientific analysis in this sense can guarantee.

Finally, the shit gains value by time passing, with exponential curve! It is called coprolite!
To understand that, if the resin of trees becomes in the centuries an amber, the shit become fossil Coprolite. I would not surprise myself if one day I would see a gold ring with coprolite carved in the center, sold for thousands euros.

I, in short, I propose that the shit must be revalued.
At least, in comparison with the powder and its derivatives.Are this last useful for what ?
I just hope that whoever reads this lines wouldn't be a "face powder!"

I conclude with a parable that will homage for sure Sergio Leone:
There was a little bird that wasn't able to fly. During the winter, it fell from the nest and finished on the ground. It was very cold and so It begins to whirr: CIIIIP! CIIIIP!
At that time, a cow went by the way, and noticing it so cold and suffering, raised his tail and "Plaf!", a beautiful intestinal daisy, hot and smoking, fell on the little bird. Now the little bird was happy and warm. It was very happy so It begins to whirr again: CIIIIP! CIIIIP!
Suddenly, a fox heard it and approached। She saw the little bird inside the shit and she extracted it, cleaned it very well then .... GNAM! She ates it in one bite.

Morale ? Not all those who bring you in the shit are evils। Not all those that pull you out from the shit are goods. But, above all, if you're in the shit, shut up!

The Man 'Debugs' the World

Let's open our informatics minds:

[INPUT]
- The human race and is just one of the many races that populates the Earth.
- The aliens exist, and they know about our existence.
- God and the Genesis are written in about every ancient sacred Tomes.
- "Nothing can be Created and Nothing can be Destroyed, but everything changes" [Antoine Lavoisier]

[HEURISTIC PROCESSING]
The man, inhabitant of the Earth, has many receptors that constitute his inputs; he has eyes to see, the nose to smell, the ears and the mouth.
The man sees, eats, hears, processes the inputs, and return them to the world, or he responds accordingly to the demand. Similarly are animals, each one covering a certain habitats, each one processing some inputs, some in the jungle, some in the desert, some more in the sky or in the water. Even worms and other inhabitants of the underground processes a particular input and return an output.
The living beings, at the end, die, change and restart the cycle of life.
Biodegrading themselves, they return to be another input for other beings. For example, the lion eats gazelles it just killed. If it doesn't eat them, the land will take again the rests restarting the cycle of life with different phenomenon's.
It is clear that there is a regenerating process on the surface of the Earth, and perhaps even in the depths where the man isn't yet arrived, but it appears that at each imbalance wilderness, there is an equal and opposite reaction of the living beings, providing Control of the Planet.

But what all of this means?

[OUTPUT]
The living terrestrial is an instrument, invented by superior minds, programmed by superior minds, tried by the "Time-Life," and with a purpose.
To every being the Overall (or superior) purpose can be prevented, or results too complex, and then, let's try to open our minds and remove the trivial reasons that bind man… suppose we are "just an instrument of Control".
We, living beings, are retaining something. We're protecting something that can be enclosed at the center of the Earth, in the nucleus, or we are probably preserving the Earth for the arrival of someone, as we were guardians.
God might be an abstract concept of an Alien race, existing even on the physical level, but not necessarily. Those who govern the "Time-Life" did not require to roam the physical plans, I suppose.
The unknown factor that remains to be discovered and 'What are we protecting inside the Earth? Maybe the Earth itself?
What keeps a Tool like the sum of all the races? And for Who?

[CONCLUSION (without solution)]
Man cannot yet understand the Absolute meanings of his existence, but he can grasp many facets that must remember him to take care about the environment, the life, and the cycle of continuity where he is, because these are his only certainty to have done everything for what he has been created.
The man must understand that he's completely on the wrong road…

RSS FEED - Here's how I update myself about my favorite sites!

What 'an RSS feed (o Atom Feed) ? Simple, It’s the faster and more efficient way to reach the News and always keep ourselves updated.

Internet, among other things, is a huge information portal.

His power is now valued by RSS feed, which are pages of text in code built by the site operator, but with the particularity of being PORTABLES and rather AGILE to download.
The format of these pages is called XML, an international standard for portability of data.
This means that any FeedReader RSS (Software for managing the feeds) can download the XML file chosen, and manage them at the best, showing in a list of folders (eg: Blog, magazines, download) the names of sites that in turn contain the Arguments, which in turn contain text and images…To put this, it seems complex, but the result is that you can reach, for example, all the day's news of the major newspapers that you have choosen, with an easy opportunity to scroll and read what we you think it’s interesting. Just an update of your Feeds after launching the application and you're done.

For Example, Online Newspapers feeds report the day's news.
About Blogs, they report the listing "Post", and so on.
The symbol that identifies RSS feeds on a site is on of the following, but sometimes it’s not so easy to find :



The softwares that manage feeds also allow you to easily highlight the news from those already READED by those which are NEW, returning a navigation much more streamlined.
Unlike , It should be very different scrolling site by site, loading advertising, banners, pop-up ads and dodging false news (now the bad way is this…) to find out if there is something that interests us.

In any case if the news reported by the feed is incomplete or not enough complete, it should be generally require just a double click to open the address of the site and read the news from the official source…

At Last, I give a series of FREEWARE software very useful to manage Feeds! Some are integrated with your web browser (they are called PLUG-IN and go upon Firefox or Internet Explorer) but, as counsel, it is better to install a dedicated software about Feed Reading because the performance management is the best…

So, what are you waiting for?! Install an RSS Feed Reader and link your first feed, the one of this BLOG!
Just copy and paste the link below in the list of your Feeds, perhaps in a "FeedFolder" such as "Favorites BLOGs" :) :
