Linjutsu 

A mastery of the Linux operating system comparable to the martial art of ninjutsu, acquired by a similar single-minded dedication to years of practice. Geeks with a superior mastery of Linux are Linjas (a variation of the word ninja). Someone with an exceptional mastery of the Command Line Interface is a CLInja (often the same thing, as most of Linux' magic is done through the CLI).

"My Linux laptop kept crashing, but then Greg practiced his Linjutsu on it, and now it works perfectly."
"Yeah, Greg is a real Linja."

"Nobody uses PASCAL anymore. Your code-fu is obsolete, I'm afraid"

screen estate 

A variation on the concept of real estate, screen estate is the total display area of the monitor(s) connected to a computer, and a subject of bragging rights for computer geeks. Like with real estate, the more/bigger, the better: computer geeks agree that you can never have too much screen estate.

Have you seen his gaming rig? Three 24" monitors: dude's got some serious screen estate!
