... The "Unix way", OTOH, relies on the safer and more resilient "do one thing well" multiple library concept, so while it may be easier to bugfix, the resulting program (Firefox in this case) spends an inordinate amount of time in context switches.
You don't context-switch when you are doing library calls.
You do, however, loose some performance when running position independent shared code (-PIC). What you loose here, you probably gain in reduced cache-trashing. DLLs in windows also have this performance problem, but seldom have the cache gain, as libraries isn't shared as often between applications.
Interesting. Strokes should be much easier to recogize. I find that tablet-computers actually translates my butt-ugly handwriting into plain text by analyzing my pen-movements. Maybe we should incorporate a model of how the human hand and motor-skills work in handwriting-recognition?

So then you have to color all the points? I think you need 3 bits to also represent "no ink".
Or just the instruction KAH: Push the status register to stack and proceed to kill all humans.
Like Shamirs Secret Sharing, or just the galois-field magic used for raid6 with more parity "disks".
Or, you could use our Norwegian service, yr.no (also in english) to get the weather for any place in the world.
Yeey, socialism!
I'm guessing you are using an Intel-based graphics card? Amusing that they broke acceleration-support for the most videly-used card.

Opera is a Norwegian company. Norway is not in the EU.
