Phew, I thought I was the only one to use numerous tabs and windows for ridiculous lengths of time without ever looking at them instead of just saving to a bookmark. (I'm serious). I get flak about it daily whenever someone walks by my monitor, but I'm rather attached to the habit. I mainly find it a more effective reminder of something I need to look at than a bookmark, not to mention the many tabs I actually use on a regular basis (multiple mail clients, references, etc).
Out of curiosity, how many tabs/windows do you people use? I use typically around 100/10 at a time, though it varies from 50-150 tabs, depending on how recently I did a flush to bookmarks pass.
When I do this in Firefox 3 (fx 4 is far too inefficient for my liking last I checked), it typically takes up between 0.5-1GB of memory. However, I have to restart Firefox daily because it begins to spike cpu usage every 10 seconds or so for increasing amounts of time (up to several seconds at a time) after running for a while. I've never been able to determine the cause of this despite many hours of research and experimentation.
Yep. I swear by my MS "Wheel Mouse Optical"s and 360 controllers... But will probably never own a 360 console. MS keyboards aren't so hot though - I'll use BTC 6300s until there aren't any left.
I also find it interesting that I'd probably choose those three despite price, but the mouse and keyboard are very much on the low end of the price range, and the 360 controller isn't too bad either.
It seems to me that if you really enjoy what you do, you should also enjoy keeping up and/or ahead with the evolution of your field.
My experience has been almost the opposite - when I started working full time, perhaps not immediately, but after a short while I felt more compelled to learn and work on things on my own time because I like what I do, and although I am lucky to have a job where I learn quite a bit on company time, living life going through the motions and stagnating makes no sense to me. I'm always asking myself (and others) questions like "Is there a better way to do this?"
Being able to do this is as important to me to making a comfortable living, but, luckily, these tend to go together.

If anyone knows of a better one, please correct me.
