Posted by Rail Blue on Wed Aug 8 00:38:07 2007, in response to Re: Max Deadlock Obtained, posted by SelkirkTMO on Wed Aug 8 00:02:34 2007. A *remarkable* amount of really bad Windows code is originally written in Linux and then ported to Billyworld. Kaff-kaff "Firephuck" and most googlings as well. That's why I refer to it as "open sores." :)For all Firephuck's leakiness, I actually have a bigger gripe with it: it's not a KDE/Qt app. And I'm not actually talking about memory usage, as although those stats are highly amusing, they're largely irrelevant -- they certainly never stopped anyone from enjoying using the GNOME variety of bloatware (and neither did the kind words of Linus Torvalds, for that matter): Desktop + browser Usage KDE + Konqueror 95.3 KDE + Firefox 108.0 KDE + Epiphany 112.5 GNOME + Epiphany 127.7 GNOME + Firefox 133.6 GNOME + Konqueror 136.5 What gets me about Firephuck is more subtly annoying: 1) I like having a menu bar on my KDE desktop, for obvious reasons:  2) KDE/Qt apps will then use the existing menu bar:  3) Non-native apps, like Firephuck, leave the existing menu bar blank, then insert a second menu bar of their own:  Now, I'd be the first to admit that Konqueror is in serious need of development to be "fully featured" in modern terms (it has serious problems with certain of the clever things certain Google sites do, for instance), but at least it doesn't waste space with an extra menu bar like Firephuck does! |
