  2. Re:To compare with GNOME... on KDE 4 Uses 40% Less Memory Than 3 Despite Eye-Candy · · Score: 0

    I remember when I first starting using linux (I think I was 12 or 13 at the time), I tried Ubuntu, and it was gnome. The taskbar was at the top of the screen and I almost couldn't handle it.
    After several years I'm now running fluxbox under arch linux...having a taskbar seems weird when I have to use windows now :P

  11. Avoiding the malloc() on Game Boy Zelda Comes With Source, Sort Of · · Score: 4, Informative

    I guess the only way to really avoid the malloc() calls grabbing your source code would have been to compile, then reboot to link...so the extra data thats padded on the end of the ROM image would just be your emtpy RAM contents.

    That information is then passed on to agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Defense Hmmm. So they are doing hardcore surveillance, but thats ok because its for saving the world...why does it need to be sent to the DoD? Hmm.
