it's happening. indoor-only.

There is always Chipotle, for when I feel like having a pound of white rice in my burrito, but I've been hoping to find a place like Anna's in Boston, or Felipe's in Boston/New Orleans. I'd love to find somewhere similar in town... any suggestions?

I was reading through the Ubuntu Backports page which says the intent of backports is to provide newer versions of things such as 'web browsers', 'word processosr', or 'im clients'. However looking at the complete list of backports for Lucid shows a pretty short list of available backports, and an even shorter one for Maverick. Why aren't backports used to deliver updates to more popular packages like Firefox, Open/LibreOffice, Pidgin etc.?

This show ran 6 episodes on Comedy Central in the mid-90s. It was hilarious! But even though CC seemed to re-run them for awhile, I have never met another person IRL who recalls the watching it. It's not been released on DVD. There are a few low-quality clips on youtube. Any other fans?

I have a Dell Studio 1555 and find the touchpad under Ubuntu/Gnome to be wildly erratic, especially when typing (cursor will move around, select text and words get deleted often). In Windows the behavior is the same unless I install the Synaptics drivers, which without any additional configuration makes the touchpad work great. But it also provides finer grained controls like pressure sensitivity. I've disabled touch while typing in Gnome but this does not mitigate the problem. Is there a package that allows similar fine-grained tuning of the touchpad like the Windows driver?

I'm looking for something that will allow a small team of programmers to collaborate on documenting some program structures. A wiki-like environment is the most ideal thing, but I can't set up one on my own due to IT restrictions and unwillingness to assist in the matter. Is it possible to run some kind of MediaWiki or DocuWiki type setup on a network or local folder?

I've been searching for awhile for software that would let me replace iTunes as a podcast manager -- many programs download and manage podcasts but this is the only one I've found besides iTunes that automatically renames/tags podcasts based on the metadata (this is important for some portable players that organize podcasts based on the genre tag, and for many podcasts that are not properly tagged). This foobar component allows you to tag and rename them however you like.

It surprises me that with widescreens and netbooks the vertical panel is not more commonly utilized. In Gnome it seems very few of the panel add-ons are compatible with a vertical panel in any practical sense. Anyone worked around this to their satisfaction?

I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I boot into Windows for the sole purpose of downloading my podcasts with iTunes. Podcasts are seldom properly tagged and named, and so far iTunes is the only manager I've found that does this properly, using the RSS metadata. I have a Sansa Clip that IDs podcasts by the genre tag.

Gpodder used to allow you to override the genre tag (current bug seems to have some work done on it), but that functionality was deprecated. It's the best podcast manager but tagging/naming is pretty crucial if you listen to a lot of them. Even This American Life doesn't always remember to mark the genre field properly. And a l
