	Gnome Sort - The Simplest Sort Algorithm
		The simplest sort algorithm is not Bubble Sort..., it is not Insertion Sort..., it's Gnome Sort!
		Gnome Sort is based on the technique used by the standard Dutch Garden Gnome (Du.: tuinkabouter).

	Gnome sort
		Gnome sort is a sort algorithm which is similar to insertion sort except that moving an element to its proper place is accomplished by a series of swaps, as in bubble sort.
		The name comes from the supposed behavior of the Dutch garden gnome in sorting a line of flowerpots.
		), and in practice the algorithm has been reported to run slightly slower than bubble sort, although this depends on the details of the architecture and the implementation.

	Gnomes Masters of Illusion by Dark Quest Games Review
		Gnomes are sort of out of place in the fantasy world.
		While in the real world, everyone knows what a gnome is, and they are fairly popular (even occasionally appearing in TV commercials), there is not much of a role for them in a fantasy world, as there is a crowd of other short people.
		It is somewhat odd, while these gnomes get the biggest description of any gnome type, there is really no mention or tie in to them in the rest of the book (the spells, classes, magic items, etc, except for some of the mundane items in the equipment section).

	Digg - Three Reasons to Use GNOME
		Gnome follow's a windows ideology which I believe may be good for new users, but in the long run is not something that should be followed.
		Gnome is to DEs as Debian is to distros.
		Gnome carries on playing with the few friends he has left, all the while telling people what they _should_ want (any difference of opinion is wrong, somehow).

	perl.com: A Simple Gnome Panel Applet
		Gnome is the desktop environment of choice on my home Linux system because it is feature-packed and user friendly.
		Gnome is also flexible, and thanks to the Gtk-Perl module and associated desktop toolkit bindings, I can use my favorite programming language to further customize and extend my Gnome environment.
		An applet is a particular kind of Gnome application, which resides within and operates on the panel itself.

	KDE and Gnome Comparison
		This is not, by any means a comprehensive look at the differences between KDE and Gnome, but it should give new users a small taste of their different strengths and weaknesses and their philosophical approaches to usability.
		Gnome favors brown and orange, has two toolbars (one at the top, one at the bottom), and splits its menu into three submenus--Applications, Places, and System.
		Gnome has tabs for each category of removable drives and media with checkboxes for the behavior you want and fill-in-the-blank slots for commands you wish to execute for that media device.

	Digg - Gnome 2.16 Preview
		KDE was always 'the' premeir C++ environment for Linux and Gnome was die-hard C, but now Gnome is the progressive one with high level languages and KDE is the 'die-hard' C++ people.
		Gnome Desktop will now have more high level language used on the desktop with C# and Python then Microsoft will with Vista and MS is the people that created C# in the first place!
		Gnome's default theme is blue, but at least it is not cartoon like.

		Programs like this go into /usr to be available to all programs, even if you were to, say, do rm -rf /opt/gnome.

	The Odd Couple \| Linux Magazine
		GNOME developers, eager to retain the full power and freedom of the Linux operating system, looked askance upon anything that “dumbed down” or restricted flexibility for the sake of mere popularity.
		That is, until a series of videotaped user tests sponsored by Sun Microsystems, a corporate supporter of GNOME development, revealed the ugly truth: The typical business users just introduced to Linux all but pounded his or her head into the keyboard in a frustrated attempt to navigate the GNOME 1.0 interface.
		Meanwhile, as a GNOME developer, he has lobbied for a ground-up overhaul of GNOME 3, including a totally new application binary interface, so as to encourage movement away from the “conservatism” of GNOME 2.

		XFCE is nice, but since Gnome 2.14 I think that is the best WM to use.
		Gnome is nice in a lot of ways, but it's extremely dumbed down.
		One thing that annoys me is that it always asks me for a password for shutdown and restart, even though I have sudo set so that I can restart or shutdown without a password, if I do so from the command line.

	libraries
		Gnome and KDE applications generally run atop X, and that seems to work quite well.
		Throw in for fun the fact that there is not yet any binary compatibility standard for C++; it is not reasonable to expect applications to work with libraries that were not all compiled by exactly the same compiler.
		If that forces people to keep Gnome components up-to-date in order to compile bleeding edge versions of GnuCash, that is certainly somewhat unfortunate; the problem with that is a function of the fact that GnuCash is making use of Gnome services that are not yet completely mature.

		Gnome Sort - The Simplest Sort Algorithm, via Dick Grune who has a lot of other interesting stuff such as his book on parsing (which I have linked to before).
		It's good to have a nice, simple algorithm that you can keep in your head for the times that the library and OS algorithms don't make any sense and you're sorting small amounts of data.
		For future reference, here are two quicksort algorithms in vbscript that I probably could have used instead assuming they existed at the time.

		Gnome's configuration is held in a bunch of XML files.

		GNOME is a project that aims to provide a easy, user friendly and free desktop for Unix environments.

		This would solve one problem, open up gnome for high-level languages but would create another problem because you would need a lot of bindings for a gnome installation, therefor i think this wouldn't be a good solution.
		I've seen many apps that are better then the ones that are included with Gnome over the years get abandoned and rewritten in C as a crappyer new version of itself because it couldn't be included with the default Gnome Desktop.
		Gnome should come up with a "Approved Binding" program or something, that when approved (basically when they are complete) they will be added to Gnome.

	10x10 - GNOME Live!
		AndersFeder: The GNOME development community (and Open Source communities in general) have a team spirit that the Windows development community will never be able to reproduce, due to its intransparency.
		This, in my opinion, is the major strength that the GNOME community must leverage if it is to compete with Microsoft's billion dollar research efforts for the Windows platform.
		There are many parts of GNOME that are stuck in legacy issues that won't budge because it's impossible to reach consensus and make decisions.

		We can't make a Gtk or Gnome app suid root; a GUI toolkit is far too complex to go in an suid application.

		After having moved an item backward into place, it "walks" forward, checking the order of items as it goes, until it reaches the next item is out of place, which is beyond where progress left off.
		This can be seen as a bidirectional bubble sort that intelligently reverses direction, instead of making complete passes.

		It was as if the flash and dazzle of their truly groundbreaking announcement would somehow distract the rest of the world from the fact that KDE is a vibrant and popular development project.

		Miguel de Icaza has done a wonderful job in managing the GNOME project, and the GNOME Foundation is an important step in the evolution of Linux.

		So the GNOME Desktop and Development Platform release is fully translated into Swedish this time as well, even though I haven't managed to keep the Swedish translations of other GNOME-using software (such as Fifth Toe etc.) update in a similar manner -- I've simply had to prioritize the coming GNOME DandDP release.

	Gentoo Forums :: View topic - Why must Gnome include Evolution?
		It's baffling why the Gnome metapackage even lists EDS when some of the other apps listed in the ebuild would pull it in anyway (if the eds USE flag was on or if it was Ekiga).
		It was built as a separate component so applications throughout the Gnome desktop would have a common method to access calendar, contact, etc. information, to reduce the problem where you have to enter the same information into 5 different applications.
		I'd venture to guess that the Gnome herd feels that introducing these sorts of options leaves the door open for too many to juggle, but the only way I see that happening is if the metapackage is approached from a purely fl-and-white standpoint - i.e.

		This sort of technology-choice morass can really dampen developers playing with this stuff and adding support all over GNOME, which is exactly the sort of quick-fiddling big-payoff stuff I think we'll see a lot of as soon as this stuff starts landing.
		The GNOME actions look to me like the path we are currently on, and the Microsoft actions are not out of character, and look legally tenable based on what I know today.
		That means some sort of public (web, preferably) legally binding page that says: we will offer the technology to anyone on these terms.

		My apologies to anyone who is tired of the GNOME vs. KDE debate, but I believe this is where GNOME went wrong.
		However, one of the things I still don't like about GNOME is how difficult it is to customize its look and behavior to my heart's content.
		GNOME developers need to take a cue from Microsoft and realize how important users consider personalization and that users want the process to be as easy as possible.

		Gnome is far better for new users, though there are some apps for kde that people have stated are much better, I find gnome much more than adequate.
		This is sort of my first consideration when writing this, there are those that feel uncortable sitting in front of Gnome or are so used to xp that want the same sort of feel and its not like a clone but rather the feel or theme to it.
		My experience with both KDE and Gnome is that KDE is slower to load applications and has more crashes than Gnome.

		Let's forget about the technicalities, I think this is a good thing because people that prefer KDE or GNOME won't have to worry about applications not working on their particular WM.
		This sort of thing is what is needed to take the Linux desktop to the next level.
		Since GNOME and KDE API's defer on that, you would just tell the Portland API's that you want to place the icons and you have the job done so no specific desktop environment programming, at least on that aspect.
