    1. Binaries are already compiled. The kernel looks after execution.

    2. It's compiled.

    Hey! Did I just do someone's homework... maybe I should edit this to be wrong. Or maybe I should say I'm going to edit it to make it wrong and then click the edit button so it looks like I did...

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
