The Death Note rewrites a person's very fate and destiny, it takes away everything that was ever planned for them after 40seconds-28days (whatever you wrote).
The Geass works on mental impulses, changing the thought process to Lelouch's whims.
They are no where near the same, either in methodology nor reaction. The Death Note will make you do something no matter what, so long as you're physically able, the geass is fightable (though I'm guessing strength of will comes into play, as in Euphie wasn't strong enough).
No one as suggested (as far as I can see) the most obvious explanation: Lelouch's geass didn't work for a year. It's highly likely that a continuous geass would have also stopped, as it had nothing to 'fuel' it. So the instant Lelouch's memories were wiped clear and the geass shut off, Carve-tan stopped carving, which makes it intresting that she stopped mid carve.

Uh...no.
