&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
Gentoo still has a LONG way to go before I totally convert from Slackware.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2004/03/15/gentoo.html" target="_new"&gt;Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
It seems to me that there has been a lot of Chinese and Taiwanese
actors/actoresses playing roles in movies that are based in Japan
lately.&amp;nbsp; Let's think, there's "Initial D", played by an all
Chinese/Taiwanese cast.&amp;nbsp; There's also "Memoirs of a Geisha",
played by a star studded cast, including supporting roles by non other
that the Keymaker from the Matrix, and the kidnapped girl from Rush
Hour as the chinese child sold in to Geisha-ism.&amp;nbsp; There's plenty
more, but that's a waste of time to go through all of them.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
haha, its kinda funny when you think about it... the Keymaker GETS some!!!!&amp;nbsp; YEAH!!!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Here's probably the simpliest, most direct answer you're gonna get:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Cache&lt;/span&gt;
is typically used to store oftenly used files, they are stored there
just because there is some free RAM that can used (because RAM is much
faster than reading from the disk).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Buffers&lt;/span&gt;
are used by by various processes as a temporarily storage area.&amp;nbsp;
Here, input and output can be stored until the process is ready to
handle it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
the one who seemed so strong... crumbled.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
the one who always laughed it off... cried.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
the one who never stopped trying... finally quit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
but the one who never gave up hope...&amp;nbsp; still believes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

making sure that my father has woken up and taken his meds at 5 and 6
in the morning.&amp;nbsp; Watching him as we prepare his drink solutions
and counting out his many many pills... it can take a toll on one's
