Mandare Link ED2k verso un amule su un latro computer.

Windows

Make sure aMule is installed with the aMuleCMD option checked.

We need a batch script to handle the ed2k links from the browser, and we need to add some keys to the registry to make the browser recognize the ed2k links.

Create a file named ed2k_remote.bat containing the following code:

@echo off
set link=%1
for /f "useback tokens=*" %%a in ('%link%') do set link=%%~a
"c:\Program Files\aMule\amulecmd.exe" /h server /P pass /c "add %link%"

Don't forget to replace server and pass with your data and save the file in your aMule directory C:\Program Files\aMule.

Create a file named ed2k_remote.reg containing the following code:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ed2k]
@="URL: ed2k Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ed2k\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\aMule\\amulegui.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ed2k\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ed2k\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ed2k\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\aMule\\ed2k_remote.bat\" \"%1\""

Save the file and run it (double click) to add these keys to the registry.

Internet Explorer

You should be OK with just the changes to the registry and the batch script in your aMule directory.

Firefox

The first time you click an ed2k link in Firefox you will get the following dialog:


Tick the Remember box and click OK.

Opera

Open the preferences window and click the Programs tab

Click the Add... button

Make Opera aware of the ed2k link protocol with these settings:

Mass Storage.

.....cosi metto tutto in un posto GIGANTE! eppure cosi piccolo.....
Tutto cio' e' poetico.....lui e' li che sfrulla con la sua ventola.......e CONTIENE TUTTO.........ogni tanto grunisce silenziosamente....accende le sue lucine come al ritmo mitralico del bit....
e finche ce' corrente LUI E' LI!!!! (ma anche se gliela togli e gliela ridai....alle volte E' LI!)

LCD Panel Technology Explained

There are many different panel technologies used in the production of LCD monitors. They range from budget TN panels to expensive, professional quality S-IPS and S-PVA panels. The average consumer usually has no idea what panel technology is used in their LCD. In fact, many power users are also unaware, simply because the panel type is rarely listed by the manufacturer in the monitor specifications. Many users buy monitors based on price and size. Price should be a factor, but you should still know the advantages and disadvantages of the different LCD panel types and be able to identify them before you decide which LCD to purchase.

IPS Panel Technology
S-IPS/H-IPS (In Plane Switching) panels are generally considered the best overall LCD technology for image quality, color accuracy and viewing angles, but this comes at a price. They are well suited for graphics design and other applications which require accurate and consistent color reproduction. S-IPS panels offer the best viewing angles of any current LCD technology, with wide viewing angles up to 178 degress. The response time of S-IPS is adequate, ranging from 6ms to 16ms with current panels. This is only slightly slower than TN panels. However, gamers should take this into consideration. Fast paced games may suffer from motion blur or ghosting with S-IPS panels that have a response time higher than 8ms. S-IPS panels can be identified buy a slight purple hue on blacks when viewed from a wide angle. There are currently few manufacturers using S-IPS panels in comparison to the other panels types making choices limited and they often carry a premium price tag. H-IPS is a newer variation of S-IPS with a different pixel structure that improves contrast ratios and lowers pixel pitch to provide better picture quality.

Two of the most popular widescreen S-IPS monitors are the NEC 20WMGX2 and Dell 2007WFP. The NEC 20WMGX2 monitor uses an AS-IPS panel (basically a custom S-IPS panel made specifically for NEC), has a 6ms response time, glossy coating and includes a TV tuner and speaker bar. The price of the 20WMGX2 ranges from $500-$600. The Dell 2007WFP is much more affordable at around $350, but you are not guranteed an S-IPS panel and it has less features. Unfortunately Dell uses two panel types in this monitor. S-IPS and S-PVA. It is a completely random process so there is no way to know which panel you will receive. However, due to the much lower price of the 2007WFP many are willing to take the risk for a cheap widescreen S-IPS panel. To find more S-IPS panels see our Comprehensive List of S-IPS Based LCD Monitors.

VA Panel Technology
VA (Vertical Alignment) technology such as S-PVA/MVA are middle of the road LCD panels. They offer better color reproduction and wider viewing angles than TN panels, but have slower response times. They are very similar to S-IPS on paper. They also offer large viewing angles and good color reproduction, though not as good as S-IPS. The response times are generally worse than TN or S-IPS panels and there have been reports of a few panels that suffer from input lag, so VA technology may not be the best choice for fast paced gaming. VA panels have the advantage of higher contrast ratios compared to other panel types, which leads to better black levels. The biggest disadvantage of VA based panels is color shifting. Color shifting is when the image viewed from one angle changes or "shifts" when viewed from a slightly different angle, making various uneven brightness levels across the display. This bothers many users to the point they will not even consider buying a VA based panel, while other users don't notice/aren't bothered by the color shifting. Color shifts also cause a loss of shadow detail in dark scenes when viewed directly from the center. VA panels are much easier to find compared to IPS because so many manufacturers use them. They offer better image quality than TN at lower price than IPS based panels.

TN Panel Technology
TN (Twisted Nematic) panels are the most widely used panel type as they are cheap and offer excellent response times, making them perfect for fast paced gaming. The response times of current TN panels range from 2ms to 5ms. However, color reproduction, viewing angles and contrast ratios of TN panels are the worst of any LCD panel technology. Unlike most 8-bit S-IPS/S-PVA/MVA panels, TN panels are only 6-bit and unable to display the full 16.7 million colors available in 24-bit true color. They can mimick the 16.7 million colors of 8-bit panels using a technique called dithering, but the results are unimpressive. TN panels have become popular with the average user because they are very inexpensive. They are also the only panels currently being used in 22" widescreen monitors, a very popular size. Many of these 22" TN panels are around the same price or cheaper than other 20" monitors with different panel types, so it is easy to see how how they gained popularity. Afterall, the average user buys a monitor based on price and size.

Update: Other panel types are now starting to be used in 22" displays, though the majority are still TN.

Summary of LCD Panel Technology
* S-IPS/H-IPS panels are generally considered the best all around panel type, but they are more expensive and very few are made. High end, expensive.
* S-PVA/MVA panels offer better color reproduction and viewing angles than TN panels, have slightly worse response times than TN or S-IPS, offer the best contrast ratios, may suffer from color shifting or input lag and have higher availability than S-IPS panels. Mid range, fair price.
* TN panels are very cheap and have the fastest response times, but suffer from inferior color reproduction, contrast ratios and viewing angles. Low end, inexpensive.

UH!

Sunny 16 Rule.

In photography, the sunny 16 rule (or, less often, the "sunny f/16 rule") is a method to estimate correct daylight exposures without using a light meter.The basic sunny 16 rule, applicable on a sunny day, is this:

The elaborated form of the sunny 16 rule for more general situations is:

  1. Set the shutter speed to the setting nearest to the ISO film speed
  2. Set the f-number according to the table below:
Aperture Lighting Conditions Shadow Detail
f/16 Sunny Distinct
f/11 Slight Overcast Soft around edges
f/8 Overcast Barely visible
f/5.6 Heavy Overcast No shadows
f/4 Sunset

For example, to shoot ISO 100 film in sunny conditions, set the shutter speed to 1/100 or 1/125 and the f-stop to f/16. With ISO 200 film, set the speed to 1/200 or 1/250. For ISO 400 film, 1/400 or 1/500. As with other light readings, the shutter speed can be changed, as long as the f-number is compensated. For example, 1/250th of a second at f/11 would be equivalent to 1/125th at f/16.

The Shower - La Doccia

La doccia e' uno strumento importante nella vita degli umani. E' lo strumento che declama la fine di una giornata bella o brutta che sia. Le emozioni, la rabbia,lo stress scivolano giù per le pareti fino al buio dello scarico, lasciandoci con quel sapore agro-dolce di "missione compiuta".

Qualcuno potrebbe obbiettare: " e chi se la fa la mattina?" Beh e' fortunato ad avere il tempo la mattina di riavviarsi di fresco.

Shower is an important tool in a human's life. This tool tells us when the end of a cool or "sucky" day comes. Emotions, anger and stress just slide down the walls and in the drain darkness, leaving us with a sweet & sour taste of "mission accomplished"

Someone could ask: "..and what about people that shower in the morning?" Well I can tell them they are lucky to have the time to do it and freshly reboot...if you know what i mean!

Problema Giovani + Alcool + Droghe = Incidenti

Cari governanti, voi sarete anche illuminati da una grande saccenza, ma alle volte mi sembra che vi perdete in un bicchiere d'acqua. Quando eravate bambini e vi si proibiva qualcosa voi cosa facevate?....... E' cosi anche a 70-80-90 anni (che piu' o meno e' la vostra eta media). Lo e' ancora di piu' a 20-30-40. Quindi vi propongo di pensare alla proposta che mi e' venuta in mente nelle mie lunghe ore in tangenziale ( per il problema traffico e inquinamento poi vi spiego cosa dovete fare ;-)):
Creiamo delle cittadelle del divertimento. In pratica concentrate i locali, le discoteche, i locali sexy, i ristoranti, i coffie shop e i bar in una unica località facilmente raggiungibile con dei bei parcheggi (gratis). Poi vanno create delle strutture per far passare la notte ai giovan.i Una specie di cell hotel alla giapponese o ostello che costano 10-15 euro a notte dove le persone devastate dall'alcool e le droghe possano dormire la notte e affrontare la via del ritorno il giorno dopo con la mente piu' lucida.
La concentrazione del divertimento poi vi darebbe la possibilita' di controllare con piu facilita le persone non in condizione di guidare. In poche parole dovete dare la possibilita' di divertirsi in sicurezza. Insomma continuate a dire che siete li per noi, che vi prendete cura di noi e poi tutto quello che fate e' castigare se non facciamo come dite voi non e' quello che faceva la mamma con voi piu o meno un secolo fa quando eravate bambini? La punizione servia???

i vantaggi della cosa:
  • meno gente in giro ubriaca\drogata meno incidenti.
  • se i locali si spostano dalla città non ci saranno piu lamentele per gli schiamazzi
  • Prendete in mano voi la vendita delle droghe. togliete soldi alla mafia e li reinvestite in ricerca e strutture ospedaliere.
  • non piu' prostitute per strada ma in un ambiente controllato
  • tutti pagherebbero le tasse (ovviamente dovreste agevolare a livello fiscale chi sposta il proprio locale nella cittadella del divertimento)
beh io la proposta l'ho fatta. e non sono illuminato come voi....forza dai un po di impegno.
