<LI>The last powdery bits of the cereal are much better than the initial big bits. A lot of that powder is sugar and it sweetens the milk.</LI>
<LI>Bag cereal is just as good as box cereal. Taste-wise they're identical and they're about the same effort to pour because the boxes have bags in them too. The only con to bagged is that a greater amount of cereals are boxed (e.g. there are no off-brand Wheaties where I am) and boxes have cool puzzles on the back (though now that I'm not a wee lass I do have a cellphone on which I play Konami Picross instead).

<LI>Jargon</LI><UL>
<LI><B>/bin</B> - pronounced bin
<BR />Why? "bine", as in <B>bin</B>ary, sounds stupid. I think of it as a bin in which to place binaries.</LI>
<LI><B>/etc</B> - pronounced etsy
<BR />Why? It's easier to say than ee tee see or et cetera, and the literal meaning of the phrase is less important when it comes to describing file paths.</LI>
<LI><B>/lib</B> - pronounced lib (like in "liberty")
<BR />Why? See "bin", except I have no word imagery for its use.</LI>
<LI><B>/mnt</B> - pronounced em en tee
<BR />Why? It doesn't seem standard on Linux and a user with which I'm speaking may already have a "/mount" - <I>I</I> did when I was young and thought /mnt was reserved.</LI>
<LI><B>/opt</B> - pronounced opt (like in "opt-in")

<BR />Why? Seems easier to say than "pross" like in <B>proc</B>esses.</LI>
<LI><B>/selinux</B> - pronounced ess ee linux

<LI><B>/tmp</B> - pronounced temp
<BR />Why? It's where <B>temp</B>orary files go.</LI>
<LI><B>vi</B> - pronounced vee eye
<BR />Why? That seems to be what everybody says. Personally sometimes I say "vee" instead.</LI>
