…jokes that everyone could understand.
I’m sorry, but most people have never heard of BSD, VIM, or emacs.
I used Vim once. I still do, mostly because I don’t know how to quit it.
Asking someone that doesn’t know how, to close vim is my favorite password generator.
That’s disgusting! Stop telling us about the bangs that escape your colon.
I know you are not joking because it was only a week ago really good tech journalism site The Register did a walk through on making a dedicated Word 5.0 bootable USB

I have to be honest I thought OP was being 100% serious until the last line.
This is my favorite thing this morning. FreeBSD ftw.
100 myths. Perfect.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who get that joke and those who don’t.
Hm I may be getting wooshed, but this is still binary? 4 in ternary would be 11.
Yes. We normally count in ‘base 10’, which means each digit can go from 0 to 9 as we count up, then the digit to its left increases by one. The rightmost position is the units, the next the tens (because we use base 10), the next hundreds (or 10 times 10), and so on, with each position worth 10 times the one to its right. So the number 12 means you have 2 units plus 1 ten. 123 means 3 units, 2 tens, and 1 hundred.
Binary is ‘base 2’, so as we count up each digit can only go from 0 to 1 before incrementing the position to its left, and each position is worth 2 times the one to its right. So 1 still means one, but 10 is 0 units plus 1 two, and 100 is 0 units, 0 tens and 1 four, totalling 4.
