Piffle. In the real world over here if you stop people in the street 
and ask them to explain those three terms plus Daemon and Grep and 
you'll get three pretty accurate assessments and two blank looks 95% of 
the time.

I don't have to decode it, I live in the real world and I only need to 
be able to figure out what to do about it. 
As I said I've only encountered it with Netscape which sometimes I can 
reload without rebooting and sometimes not, and I don't do any work to 
lose in Netscape.
When I've work to lose I habitually hit the save button every few 
minutes anyway because I live in an area plagued by power blips, but 
they've never done any harm or caused me serious losses since I learned 
the precautions to take. What would a blip do to Unix/Linux?
