the cougars posting is so bad i cant even read this

He's talking about kugutsumen.com, an Eve meta-gaming/trolling forum.

What is/are "fraps"?

video capture software

And why would one player need to run more than one Eve client?

Many, if not most, Eve players multibox more than one account at a time (the average number of accounts/person is probably ~2). Especially people who own supercarriers (such as the focus of the article), as those ships can never dock, thus one for all intents and purposes needs another character to fly other ships.

Other common uses for multiple accounts are dedicated support characters (haulers, boosters, healers, etc.) and mining fleets (some people will run dozens at once, crazy I know).

I too switched to Moba recently after trying just about everything else. Some of the things I really like about it over the competitors:

* single binary installer

* X server

* Tabs

* Automatic SFTP sidebar when connecting via SSH

* painless SSH-tunneling (I can never remember the order of arguments on the command line)

* dancing Tuxes

There's probably more things I haven't even discovered yet (which may be too much for some people, who just want a simple terminal emulator). It's not all roses, it has locked up a couple times on me, but thanks to tmux it doesn't bother me much.
