Gmail vs Pine 603
Snarfed has an interesting review on Gmail vs Pine. From the article: "I've used Pine as my email client for, well, pretty much forever. I use it because it's fast, powerful, stable, and very keyboardable. (I hate the mouse.) However, since I work at Google, I'm constantly bombarded with people who ask me why I don't use Gmail. After hearing the nth person brag about how much it increased their productivity, I finally broke down and tried it. I didn't expect much, since I've never liked web-based email clients. However, I made myself use it as my only email client, for a month, to give it a fair shot."

What is this? Some guy tries something that everyone has been using for years now? Hey - guess what I found out the other day - cars! I used to walk everywhere..... Hey! I found out about phones last week! They're great - I don't have to travel 50 miles to speak to ....

The things I hated about Pine were that it unnecessarily reversed colors on the screen to look more "graphical," and its default editor was that horror known as Pico. I much preferred elm and vi.

I suggest we all start using "snarfed" as a synonym for "slashdotted". As in "we have figuratively stolen your server('s bandwith)" == "we have slashdotted your server" == "we have snarfed your server". I like this word better anyway. Thank you, OP, for your contribution to the /. subculture language !
PS: Don't worry about your server, it will be back up online soon when the story will leave the front page.
