You poor poor soul! My life has been infinitely enriched by the countless hours I've spent, many a dark night, in /usr/src/linux[1], with "Midnight Commander". [1] A symlink, always a symlink.

Science left the limitations of the pocket calculator behind, ages ago. Any field of analytic research, be it science, engineering, finance, etc. the values you manipulate on a day to day basis are no longer scalars, but tend to be matrices

I have played less than 4 video games in the last decade, all of them either flash or shipped with my mobile phone. I'll give this one a try (helps that it has a Linux port :-)

No, the "buffering" joke is a staple of Real Networks threads: the traditional fare on Slashdot, and its web 2.0 offshoots.
