Fix inaccurate docker command description (#96)
There is no `docker -ps` command. The docker `ps` subcommand lists containers. The docker `history` subcommand will list the layers, like so: ``` hartzelg@blah:~$ docker history hartzelg/cime IMAGE CREATED CREATED BY SIZE COMMENT 7185c64fa2a5 5 months ago /bin/sh -c #(nop) VOLUME [/cime_config.yaml] 0 B fd53e85b356b 5 months ago /bin/sh -c #(nop) VOLUME [/var/jenkins_home] 0 B b50f22ae6ec1 5 months ago /bin/sh -c #(nop) COPY file:fb917d778dfa959bb 10.11 kB [...] ```

A Singularity image, which can be referred to as a "container," is a single file that contains a virtual file system. After creating an image you can install an operating system, applications, and save meta-data with it.

Whereas Docker assembles images from layers that are stored on your computer (viewed with the docker -ps command), a Singularity image is just one file that can sit on your Desktop, in a folder on your cluster, or anywhere.

Having Singularity containers housed within a single image file greatly simplifies management tasks such as sharing, copying, and branching your containers. It also means that standard Linux file system concepts like permissions, ownership, and ACLs apply to the container (e.g. I can give read only access to a colleague, or block access completely with a simple chmod command).
