Cloud computing is a trap, warns GNU founder Richard Stallman
Web-based programs like Google’s Gmail will force people to buy into locked, proprietary systems that will cost more and more over time, according to the free software campaigner.

«Ogni giorno di più mi convinco
che lo sperpero della nostra esistenza
risiede nell’amore che non abbiamo donato.
L’amore che doniamo è la sola ricchezza
che conserveremo per l’eternità»

I got a plan, follow the masterplan…
Umanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization.
I’ve been down here at death row, and we just heard the horrific news.
After a torturous delay of more than 4 hours, the state of Georgia has just killed Troy Anthony Davis.
My heart is heavy. I am sad and angry. The state of Georgia has proven what we already know. Governments cannot be trusted with the awful power over life and death.
Today, Georgia didn’t just kill Troy Davis, they killed the faith and confidence that many Georgians, Americans and Troy Davis supporters worldwide used to have in our criminal justice system.

I am Troy Davis. You are Troy Davis. We will not stop fighting for justice.

gli utili [delle banche, ndr] sono stati privatizzati ma le perdite sono state nazionalizzate
Einars Már Gudmundsson, romanziere islandese
Islanda, quando il popolo sconfigge l’economia globale
L’hanno definita una ‘rivoluzione silenziosa’ quella che ha portato l’Islanda alla riappropriazione dei propri diritti. Sconfitti gli interessi economici di Inghilterra ed Olanda e le pressioni dell’intero sistema finanziario internazionale, gli islandesi hanno nazionalizzato le banche e avviato un processo di democrazia diretta e partecipata che ha portato a stilare una nuova Costituzione.

Seri bisogna esserlo, non dirlo, e magari neanche sembrarlo!
Pier Paolo Pasolini
On constate l’ambition d’un homme aux occasions qu’il laisse passer.
I do Gangsta Rap, they want to blame the world problems on Gangsta Rap.
It’s our fault: Coz motherfuckers are dieing in Iraq
It’s our fault: Coz motherfuckers are starving in Africa
It’s Gangsta Raps fault that people are poor, can’t get enough to fucking eat or live their life;
(…)
They blame it all on us. I’m blamin’ them motherfuckers for Gangsta Rap.
Because if they didn’t create these kind of conditions I wouldn’t have shit to rap about.
You know what I mean!
