Da RaiNews24: "Il Vaticano non recepira' piu' automaticamente, come fonte del proprio diritto, le leggi italiane; innanzitutto per il "loro numero esorbitante", in secondo luogo per "la loro instabilita"' e , infine, per il contrasto "con troppa frequenza evidente, di tali leggi con principi non rinunciabili da parte della Chiesa".

Lo spiega l'Osservatore Romano, presentando la nuova legge della Santa Sede sulle fonti del Diritto, gia' firmata da Benedetto XVI, e che entrera' in vigore il primo gennaio 2009."

Significa che da gennaio possiamo esportare anche a loro un po di pace e democrazia a suon di bombe?

(11:47:01 PM) bonzo: perchè quel "Don't add uninitialised data." significa che:
(11:47:13 PM) bonzo: 1) il sec team non ha capito una mazza
(11:47:38 PM) bonzo: 2) i dati erano effettivamente randomizzati proprio bene da venir scambiati per roba non inizializzata :)

According to a Corriere della Sera article, it is possible to see on the government tax agency site all of the tax entries declared by Italians in 2005 (the site is currently offline). And you don't need any 1337 mad hax0rz skillz: no session mangling, no SQL injections, nothing! Just start browsing by region, city and citizens...

And now, for something completely different, the politicians carousel taken straight from the above article:

• Vincenzo Visco, economy minister of previous government, said it's all ok: "it's a matter of transparency, of democracy, I don't see any problems: it's used in all over the world, just take a look at any American TV series"


• Government own privacy organ said: "This Tax Agency initiative has never been submitted to our attention"


• The Tax Agency replied: "You said it's ok with official acts from 17th Jan 2001 and 2nd Jul 2003"

From Max Barry's blog: "In 2002, I whacked the United Nations into my game, complete with copyrighted emblem, not so much in parody as to say, “Hey, look, this is just like the real UN.” I can’t remember ever thinking about the legal consequences; I probably assumed that even if the UN noticed, they’d have plenty of blood-thirsty dictators and international war crimes to prosecute before me. But what with Saddam behind bars and all that world peace you’ve been hearing so much about, I guess they worked their way down to me."
Seriously, sending copyright cease & desist letters doesn't make UN looks smart :-/ but, as written by Barry himself, he's totally on the wrong side so let's welcome The World Assembly.
And while you're at it: why don't you join Nation States? Maybe just to say hello to my nation :)

Sometimes I wonder why a text editor should be allowed to open tcp connections :-/
Next time, guys, go with GnuPG.
