Haven't read the link (still way too early in the morning) but I often 
still find howtos that say to put USE on the command line. This old 
syntax is very much deprecated, mostly because you will forget that you 
did it, the current supported method is to put the same 
flag/feature/whatever in make.conf or per-package in package.use, where 
portage will remember it for you
