ls

ls is a command to list files in Unix and Unix-like operating systems. ls displays files in a bare format. It is a shortening of 'list'. The list of arguments for ls include:

* -l long format, displaying Unix file types, permissions, number of hard links, owner, group, size, date, and filename

* -F appends a character revealing the nature of a file, for example, * for an executable, or / for a directory. Regular files have no suffix.

* -a lists all files in the given directory, including those whose names start with "." (which are hidden files in Unix). By default, these files are excluded from the list.

* -R recursively lists subdirectories. The command ls -R / would therefore list all files.

* -d shows information about a symbolic link or directory, rather than about the link's target or listing the contents of a directory.

* -t sort the list of files by modification time.

* -h print sizes in human readable format. (e.g., 1K, 234M, 2G, etc.)

Kid Buu

The last villain of the Dragonball Z series. This is Majin Buu's form before he absorbs any of the Supreme Kais, and is even far stronger than Super Buu (Gotenks, Piccolo, and Gohan). In other words, this is his original form that Bibidi first created. Kid Buu has no conscience, he seeks only to destroy and fight strong opponent, he's not very bright either.
Statistically, in terms of kill count, Kid Buu has the highest body count in the Dragon Ball universe, having destroyed several hundred planets worth of people. In total, Kid Buu generates an excessively high body count exceeding the trillions. In the series, Buu is by far the oldest villain, as Bibidi died long before he did. He was sealed inside a cocoon for a very long time as well, about a million years according to Babidi, though this just may be an estimate or exaggeration.

Hercule

Used in place of Mr. Satan in the dragonball universe for censorship purposes. He became the world martial arts champion while the Z fighters were off doing other things. He is partially responsible for the defeat of Cell and Majin Buu, but instead of being modest he takes full credit for their defeat. He is the (overprotective) father of Videl.

Along with the Supreme Kai, Pan, Fortuneteller Baba, and Uub, Mr. Satan is one of the only characters out of the main cast who is never killed during the course of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT.

Although weak compared to the majority of the cast, Mr. Satan is a skilled martial artist, and his strength exceeds that of most humans.
Akira Toriyama revealed in the Super Exciting Guide interview that Hercule first name is Mark (マーク, Maaku), a rough anagram of Akuma, which means "Devil" or "Demon" in Japanese, keeping in line with his family's naming scheme.

youngblood's disease

A term coined by Linkara, a comic book reviewer from Channel Awesome. It refers to certain type of bad facial feature in comic books, where Linkara first noticed it in Young Blood's #1.

The eyes on characters are either non-existent or just really poorly drawn in. Young Blood's Disease afflicted millions during the Dark Age of Comics, and even today cases have been known to pop up.
This comic book sucks! Who the hell drew the faces for these characters? They've all got Youngblood's Disease!

Raditz

Goku's (Kakarot, Kakarrot) saiyan brother. He is a first class warrior, presumably making him stronger than "lower-class" saiyans like Tarble and Goku. and makes his first appearance in the first episode of Dragonball Z (DBZ for short). His name is a pun on Radish.

Raditz is a typical saiyan, he's naturally violent in nature, and his evil becomes even more clear as the series goes on. When he shows up, he is the strongest fighter on earth, and non of the Z Warriors had a chance against him alone. However Piccolo and Goku join forces momentarily to help stop him. He meets his end when Goku has him in a hold from behind, and having being weakened by Gohan's earlier attack (a flying, head-on (literally) attack while his power level was 1,370)), he is unable to break free.

As you might have guessed, Goku sacrifices himself to kill Raditz. He is killed with Piccolo's "Special Beam Canon" attack and it goes right through Raditz as well as Goku, killing them both.
Raditz was the first villain to die in the Dragonball Z Series.
