Earlier I was watching television in my usual desultory fashion and happen to catch some part of Hoobastanks latest video If I were you on MTV-2. Even though I wasn't impressed much with this song, I felt nostalgic for a while, as it just happened to be the same band's single, The Reason, was in my top singles list of 2004. I guess it was released in 2003, but in heavy rotation for more than an year in many FM stations.Whenever I spend a lot of time sitting in front of my laptop doing some work, I prefer to tune into our local (San Francisco) radio...

On Solaris, typically application text loads at 0x00001000. All the address space between 0x00000000 and 0x0000FFFF (that is about 64K of address space) is not used. I still need to find out why?.
