csh is an aptly-named shell. It is an acronym for “crappy shell”.
bash is not an aptly-named shell. I want to bash things when I am using other shells. When I use bash, I don’t feel like bashing things.
I suppose that reversed meaning could be the intent, but it’s bad marketing to promote any negative associations with your product.
After adding several gigabytes of music to my iPod using gtkpod at home, I hooked it up to my computer at work. I thought I might download some podcasts.
iTunes, however, had other plans. It decided to delete all the music except the 20 songs in its own database.
I feel like either the majority of computer users live steeped in shit, or I have somehow lost the ability to use closed source software without exposing obvious, reproducible, obnoxious bugs.
UPDATE: I’ve concluded this is intentional (a feature!?). I can turn it off, but only when the iPod is connected to iTunes, meaning I have to let it delete all my music again before I can turn it off. iTunes is more iClosedSourceCrap and if it weren’t Microsoft I’d be thrilled that Apple is going to license a patent covering the iPod interface.
Time for some rant-tastic ranting.
Since comcast has utterly failed to fix a congestion problem that has recurred for at least a month, I’m forced to conclude they’re either incompetent or flat out unwilling to provide decent service.
Looking at this thread on dslreports and a similar thread on the comcast help forums, I’m certain this is not an isolated problem.
