Thank you both, MB and Onpon for the interesting elaboration on this whole
"lightweight program" topic. Though I already knew the underlying principles,
I never actively thought about what "lightweight" actually means.
But I guess the discussion is just wasting your time from here on... there
You're awesome! THANK YOU! :D

Here is a small AWK program that processes the output of the previous script:

val = ""
for (i = 2; i = NF) {
print "user_pref(\"" $1 "\", " val ");"
}

Scarce means restricted in quantity.
No, it does not. It means "insufficient to satisfy the need or demand":

When your system does not swap, the amount of RAM is sufficient to satisfy
the need or demand. There is no scarcity of RAM.

Scarce means restricted in quantity. Of course they are always scarce, you
don't have unrestricted amount of anything. Once again you are arguing for
the sake of it.
The space-time trade-off has absolutely nothing to do with where all t
Resources are always scarce (limited) and should be used responsibly.
They are always limited. They are not always scarce. In the case of memory,
as long as you do not reach the (limited) amount of RAM you have, there is is
no penalty. And by using more memory, a program can be made faster
Resources are always scarce (limited) and should be used responsibly.
You need free RAM for handling new processes and peak loads.
RAM is not sequential in the sense that it is like a rewinding tape but: you
can't pass the whole RAM through the CPU in a single CPU clock. There is the

Your display manager, LightDM, fails to start. There is probably something

Hey, I will also be around.
I may have some free time on Saturday evening.
I don't quite understand. I mean.. isn't new versions of Linux-libre released
to fix bugs etc? In that sense it is logical to always upgrade to the newest
release?
> Install icecat and linux-libre's RPM, and you're good to go!
IceCat seems to be just a rebranded Firefox inheriting all the FF's privacy
issues, so I wouldn't say it is a "good to go" thing without meticulous fine
tuning:
