Okay, I'd love to see that and the story's great.

Having said that: This is the URL:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=valve...

I have the unfortunate issue of inspecting URLs I navigate to. This one contains an 'item' called 'valve_linux_dampfnudeln'. What? Searching the page for 'dampf' gives no result. I fear that I won't be able to sleep tonight if no one can tell me what kind of reference this is.

Why am I deeply confused? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dampfnudel




"Dampf" is German for steam. I believe its one of the things eaten at the Octoberfest to which the author alludes to indirectly the article:

>the land of beer and wonderful Bayerischen Frauen and delicious food

The author appears to have picked Germany as a bit of an overall theme (Beer, Prost, Dampfnudel, Bayern etc). Not sure why.
