Comment Re:Feasting with Family (Score 1) 586

No no, it's:

I would have to say that the phrase Feasting with Family doesn't quite cover it. I would say that Thanksgiving is more about family that we rarely see trying to tell us how we should live our lives than just feasting with them.

5. Lack of decent file-browser. The best I've come across is Nautilus in a mode that resembles Windows Explorer. It'll do for now, but as far as I'm aware, offers no context-sensitive menus for applications (like the Winamp "Play in Winamp" right-click menu on folders.

GUI file-browsers are for chumps. /Real/ *nix guys just use a terminal and a mixture of the sysutils.

It's faster that way, really. If you don't believe me, try it for a while -- you'll see. A few weeks getting comfortable with doing everything in a terminal, and when you go back to a GUI you'll wonder what the heck you were ever thinking. :)

Submission + - Comcast Internet Acting Up Lately? 2

ohxten writes: "Ever since Comcast announced it would start prioritizing it's user's internet bandwidth, I've been having a lot of trouble with their internet services. For a period of about an hour every other day (sometimes longer, like tonight) at different times of the day, the internet has been either extremely sluggish or inoperable. VoIP phone calls (through Vonage) don't work and I can't send any emails that have attachments. It takes a very long time to make a connection to a website before the content loads. It's not a DNS issue because I've tried 3rd party servers, such as OpenDNS, with no difference. I'm in a pretty sparsely populated area, so I highly doubt it's being caused by an excess usage of bandwidth by others on the same network.

Is it just a problem in my area or are others experiencing this as well?"
