Random question of the day
Why does this Italian "Wanted" sign for Mafia boss Bernardo Provenzano have the word WANTED printed in English, especially when the rest of the sign is in Italian?

Because the Italians still like spaghetti westerns?
For dramatic effect. It's an election poster for the Democratic Left
As an italian I can say that it's a quotation from western. Moreover italians have a really incredible worship for English language, considered that most of them cannot really speak it...
It is a universal sign - it means the same thing in every language, just like 'WC' on a door anywhere in the world tells you what kind of room is behind it.
Aha, that clears it up - thanks for the explanation, everyone!
That's right--we are just so smart. So what else do you need to know?
I thought it was another sign of Anglo-American Hegemony. (Now I sound smart!)
maybe it´s also because of the many tourist visiting italy everyday?

The latter, Web 2.0, is not defined as a static architecture. Web 2.0 can be generally characterized as a common set of architecture and design patterns, which can be implemented in multiple contexts. bu sitede en saglam pornolar izlenir.The list of common patterns includes the Mashup, Collaboration-Participation, Software as a Service (SaaS), Semantic Tagging (folksonomy), and Rich User Experience (also known as Rich Internet Application) patterns among others. These are augmented with themes for software architects such as trusting your users and harnessing collective intelligence. Most Web 2.0 architecture patterns rely on Service Oriented Architecture in order to function
