why can't nocardbus be simply cardbus (obviously with inverted logic). Whenever I do 
an emerge -pv and see -nocardbus I always have to stop and make sure that it is 
what I want. 
It would be much friendlier if it said +cardbus

It's a USE flag

You'll find a couple use flags in portage like this.  The reason is that we want the default (USE="-*") to be the most common case.  You don't want to have to specify cardbus when all modern laptops use it.  So you have to specify nocardbus if you have an older laptop.
