UNIX rose from the ashes of a multi-organizational effort in the early 1960s to develop a dependable timesharing operating system. After three decades of use, the UNIX* computer operating system is still regarded as one of the most powerful, versatile, and flexible operating system in the computer world. Its popularity is due to many factors, including its ability to run a wide variety of machines, from micros to supercomputers, and its portability, all of which led to its adoption by many manufacturers. The system also fostered a distinctive approach to software design, solving a problem by interconnecting simpler tools, rather than creating large monolithic application programs. Its development and evolution led to a new philosophy of computing, and it has been a never-ending source of both challenges and joy to programmers around the world.
"UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity." - Dennis Ritchie

Would you close your legs please, I can smell your rancid flange from here.
The sight that greeted me was not appealling - red, sore-looking spots surrounded her swollen flange.

The feeling of extreme anger and rage at all the slackers of the world (i.e. everyone except you and your crew). Comes with heightened powers perception and insight, especially as to whether someone is actually working or just standing around and faking it. Extreme cases can occur when the worker is listening to certain Michael Jackson songs. The only know cure for AWS is two entire pizzas for each worker, watching "The Shawshank Redemption", Henry Weinhard's root beer, and solitude away from all of those fricken slackers! see AWS
