Hal Holding estende il periodo entro cui i possessori delle Senior Notes possono aderire all'offerta (60% del nominale) a cui è condizionata l'operazione di ricapitalizzazione di Safilo.
Ad oggi, scadenza originaria dell'offerta, ha aderito il 43,01% del totale emesso, altri dieci giorni dovrebbero essere sufficienti per ripassare un po' di Teoria dei Giochi.
Sicuramente io non capisco nulla di finanza ma, probabilmente, i sottoscrittori delle Senior Notes emesse da Safilo Capital International SA non sanno chi è John Nash.
Rimane il fatto che l'offerta di HAL Holding NV non raccoglie grandi consensi.
Al contrario di Diadora, Safilo non verrà recuperata da un nuovo socio industriale ma da una holding di investimenti olandese che già possiede partecipazioni nella distribuzione di occhiali.
Lasciando da parte l'enorme differenza qualitativa e quantitativa tra le due operazioni, la diversa impostazione data da HAL all'operazione si nota immediatamente; la Condizione posta per procedere con la ricapitalizzazione è il buon esito dell'offerta pubblica sul debito high yield (9,625% mica bruscolini) emesso nel 2003 dalla controllata lussemburghese Safilo Capital International SA, una zavorra che giustamente (qui si trovano le quotazioni) HAL vuole tagliare prima di salire a bordo.
Considerando il fatto che, oltre ad HAL, non è rimasto nessuno in coda per rilevare Safilo, l'esito positivo dell'offerta è certo.
Infatti, se poniamo pari a 100 il valore nominale della HY senior note di Safilo e ci limitiamo a considerare le strategie a disposizione di due soli obbligazionisti (A=accetto l'offerta e porto a casa il 60% del nominale - B=rifiuto l'offerta e spero che si raggiunga comunque il 60% di adesioni), possiamo costruire la seguente matrice di pay-off:
| A | B | |
| A | (60,60) | (60,100) |
| B | (60,100) | (0,0) |
Hi,
At work we recently got new laptops. Unfortunately for me, my employer has standardized on "Querty" keyboards. Even more unfortunately for me, in our country people are tought to type on "Azerty" keyboards.
No problem, on my desk i have a nice "Azerty" incarnation of a keyboard which plugs nicely with USB on my laptop. However, on the road i am still stuck with the Querty keyboard.
So, i just basically need the "querty" layout on the laptop keyboard and an "azerty" layout on the USB keyboard. ( windows guys, watch and drool :) )
To do this you will need to fiddle with "HAL", so that it passes the right configuration into xorg. ( i just leave my text console into querty )
First, find out about the properties of you keyboard.
Do this by looking at the output of the "hal-device" command and look for the "input.product" keys of the USB keyboard.
Then create a file named "/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi" and put this into it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<match key="input.product" contains="Darfon USB Combo Keyboard">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">be</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">pc105</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">xorg</merge>
</match>
Finally i had to disable the script that automagically configures the properties for my keyboards so i put an "exit" somewhere in the beginning of "/usr/lib/hal/debian-setup-keyboard". Sooner or later, an update will probably break this configuration, but for now it works :)

On September 2, 2009, the Internet celebrated its fortieth birthday.
ComputerWorld (14 Sept. 2009) reports that 40 years ago “computer scientists created the first network connection, a link between two computers at the University of California, Los Angeles.” This was the culmination of research funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the 1960s.
This information technology milestone was followed by another, less than two months later, on October 29 1969, when Leonard Kleinrock "sent a message from UCLA to a node at the Sanford Research Institute in Palo Alto, California."
While the Internet conceptually become a reality four decades ago, it didn’t really go mainstream until almost the 1990’s—with the founding of the World Wide Web project in 1989, AOL for DOS in 1991, and the Mosaic browser in 1993.
Now, I can barely remember what life was like before the Internet. Like the black and white pictures of yester-year: life was simple and composed, but also sort of lifeless, more boring indeed, and less colorful for sure. In other words, I wouldn’t want to go back.
Also, before the Internet, the world was a lot smaller. Even with connections to others far away—by phone and by plane—people’s day-to-day connections were more limited to those in close proximity—on their block, down on Main Street, or in and around town. It took an extra effort to communicate, share, deal, and interchange with people beyond the immediate area.
At present with the Internet, every email, chat, information share, e-commerce transaction, social media exchange, and application are a blast across the reaches of cyberspace. And like the vastness of the outer space beyond planet Earth, cyber space represents seemingly endless connectivity to others over the Internet.
What will the Next Generation Internet (NGI) bring us?
ComputerWorld suggests the following—many of which are already with us today:
I believe the future Internet is going to be like Second Life on steroids with a virtual environment that is completely immersive—interactive with all five senses and like speaking with Hal the computer, answering your every question and responding to your every need.
It’s going to be great and I’m looking forward to saying “Happy Birthday Internet” for many more decades, assuming we don’t all blow ourselves out of the sky first.
