Cioni ti odia - cioni hates you

Inutile dire che sono sempre stato molto fiero di essere riuscito a strappare lo username "antani", back in the days of gmailswap e quando gmail era strettamente su invito. Se non capisci perche' e' cosi' importante questa parola, fai prima a smettere di leggere il post.

Per tutti gli altri.

oggi ricevo una mail con subject "Conferma avvenuta Registrazione". La prima cosa cui ho pensato e' stata "ecco il solito esempio quotidiano di spam/phishing" e l'ho accantonata. Siccome pero' sono sempre un po' curioso (soprattutto per nuovi metodi economici per il p e n i s  e n l a r g e m e n t, ssssh sperando che non venga indicizzata la parola completa), l'ho aperta. Ecco il contenuto:

"[One factor is] the ease of writing drivers; Linux drivers are at normally one-third smaller than Windows drivers or other operating system drivers. We have all the examples there, so it's trivial to write a new one if you have new hardware, usually because you can copy the code and go. We maintain them... forever, so the old ones don't disappear and we run on every single processor out there. I mean Linux is 80% of the world's top 500 super computers right now and we're also the number one embedded operating system today. We've got both sides of the market because it's — yeah it's pretty amazing. I don't know why, but we're doing something right." 

And Obama is the new President of the United States. That's a good news too. :)

* "Sorry, I'm too hot" is what Simoncelli said during the after race interviews... :) He obviously means he was exhausted because of the hot weather in Malaysia...

I totally believe it would be way better if our Max Mosley would return to his whip and his nazi whore guards, rather than suggesting these insane F1 rules:
1. "Mosley wants standard engine for F1" : For god's sake ... one vendor! I'd rather suggest also to have just one driver and let see if the different colors used in the racing suits change the laptimes.
2. "Mosley: 10 years engine freeze beneficial for all": Max, go hang yourself with a whip on a tree if you really want to do some good to the environment!

More on the insane proposals after the jump.
