    Has anyone else noticed that a Google search on Total Disaster returns Fedora Core 2 as the #2 hit? It was #1 last week. Hopefully this release will push us even further away from such an undignified title.

    This can be avoided by not dual booting to Windows. Not booting to Windows is also known to have other positive side effects. ;)

    Wait... is this some kind of subtle gesture against Debian or something?

    On sunday, I was getting about 3 k/s for about 6 hours. I went to bed. When I woke up, it was done. This means that the speed must have greatly increased while I was asleep.

    Either watching it slows the connection down, like when you watch a pot waiting for water to boil or sleeping speeds the connection up. I will have to do more testing to determine which one is actually happening.

    He said THAT forum had been helpful. THIS forum, on the other hand, is Slashdot. See the difference?

    You know, I love Linux and all, but I find it funny the zealots complain about having to reboot Window$ boxes, and then they come along with distro upgrades and they have to reboot twice :)

    Kinda ironic eh...

    The ones using Fedora do. The ones using Debian can't quite figure out what the fuss is all about.

    Maybe the folks who stole the Cisco IOS code were just sick of waiting for multicast and are planning to hack it in.

    That's a complete myth: a watched pot actually boils *faster* than an unobserved one. It's true! If you don't believe me, then try it yourself, you'll be AMAZED!

  22. Re:anyone try to edit gnome menu? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    You do NOT need to edit your menu! Being able to edit your menu would only be confusing! Menu editing does not fit in the GNOME 2 interface guidelines.

    Say after me:
    I do not need this. Just like I don't need common preference options in a GUI. It is less confusing and more user friendly to trawl through registry entries and edit text keys, should I be lucky to find that the undocumented key I want actually exists in the first place.

    Thank you, GNOME2!
