'more' is the name of the ancient unix command to display text files one page at a time. The more modern version by the gnu organization is named 'less' as a play on 'more'. [Don't say we geeks have no sense of humor] So, this fit right into the original meme of the thread, but has the additional geekiness to make it funny. nroff and groff are the older and gnuish versions of the tools to format and display man (manual) pages on unix. Then Pie slides in vi vs. emacs which on geek boards has been known to start flame wars. vi and emacs are text editors - both with long heritages. People generally love one and hate the other. While I have strong opinions about what makes a good editor, I can and do use both vim (vi improved) and emacs as it makes sense. IDE = Integrated Development Environment. A complete environment (normally GUI) which has most of the stuff needed for a developer to create software. SCSI = Small Computer System Interface. Like USB or Firewire, but older and hardly used anymore.
