it doesn't, ctrl-z only suspends process and switches to backgroud - the thing is still alive try ctrl-z and then type bg command - you will see a list, you can resume with fg [number]
Ctrl-z by itself doesn't actually switch the process to run in the background, it stops the process. Running 'bg' is what starts the process back up running in the background, 'fg', like you said, resumes the process in the foreground and 'jobs' is the command you can run to see a list of processes that are running.

Not really. Some programs disable it including vim (at least on some setups).
Every vim I've ever played on has respected `ctrl-z`. In fact, I use `ctrl-z` to jump out of my vim (to restart a server, ls the local dir, etc).

This is probably a stupid question, didn't know about bg and fg before. But after playing around with it, it feels pretty amazing, why even use screen/tmux when you have these?

Does X really build for so long? It takes about half an hour on my OpenBSD install, with all the base utilities and libraries.
I hope I don't have to explain it depends on the machine.

Twitch creates two state solution agreed to by Israel and Palestine.
Well, technically, replacing everything between the Ganges and Gibralter, and between the Congo and the Alps, with butterscotch pudding would be a solution.

I'd forgotten Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes existed, thanks for reminding me of it just in time for a LAN party this weekend. My printer is going to be working overtime tonight.
