No, typically I don't run all three at the same time, and usually the others are almost completely idle (swapped to disk), but I do switch between them. (I don't just run them for the heck of it)
I don't know how IE handles tables because I only installed IE5 when VC6 wouldn't install otherwise. I'm still running Win95(b) & in my experience IE makes the system much more unstable. Aside from that, I'm lazy.
I run mozilla with only 64mb of ram. 'course I'm kinda used to it being slow, what with VC++ or Photoshop running at the same time. Oh, and I use LiteStep so most of the windows aren't all on the screen at the same time
Wait a sec... I had a point... I don't know how well IE handles tables, but have you seen the deeply nested table demo? YOW! mozilla takes ages to start, and opening new windows is a little slow, but page layout is FAST compared to netscape 4.7
Ok, I know it's terribly un-geeky of me, but I don't have one of those palm-like devices, so i store phone numbers I don't remember on my watch. If they make phone numbers longer then I'LL HAVE TO BUY A NEW WATCH!!!!
intel's 64-bit solution is designed for 64-bit efficiency.
amd's 64-bit solution is designed for 32-bit efficiency.
sad as i am to say it, intel's solution will win in the end unless they try to tack on endless instruction set extensions. (who am i kidding, we all know they will...)

strings don't really exist in c/c++. they're arrays.
how should the language handle something like this?:
int a[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};
a += 7;
that's essentially the same as your example with strings. i suppose you might want to add the 7 to the end of the array, but that's not what you want with strings.
c/c++ i (was...) a fairly simple base language that relied on libraries for things that didn't map easily to simple instructions for the processor.
you want a string data type? use a library. maybe that's what java does too, but in that case java's no better.
you want a language that has every convenience built directly into the language? use BASIC.:6
my opinion would be that they're perfectly justified, but how hard would it be to have their "automated tool" email the account holder to inform them that they shouldn't have these files?
if a probe was built in absolutely sterile conditions(and I mean *absolutely* sterile conditions), and it came back with mold growth, then I'd start to wonder...;)
built and launched in sterile conditions. no to mention making sure it doesn't pick anything up on its way through the atmosphere.
if you sent your house up into space, and when it got back your computer was in there (or on the roof?), then what are the chances that it came from space?
what i wanna know is how are they gonna explain the dead rodents orbiting mars?
i can never remember which is big & which is little endian...
intel's byte order gives a very small bit of extra code efficiency when, say, converting a 32-bit number to a 16 bit number in memory. if the bytes are the other way around, you have to add two to the address.
i can't think of a real benefit to the other way around. i suppose nowadays an add instruction takes no time anyway, but when they first designed the processors that wasn't true.
huh? you mean little-endian vs big-endian? intel's byte order gives you size conversions for free. or what *are* you talking about?

The main problem I see for using the ABCD tones is that this would be easily confused with companies that tell you to call 1-800-CRABNUT.
At this point I'd like to take a moment to express my seething hatred for frontpage.
thank you.
Long term, how are you ever going to build a business as successful as people were predicting Redhat was going to be, selling something that is free?

AOL's argument against other companies 'connecting' or in their words 'breaking into' their database (of users) has always been "Security".
Ah, but security for AOL's users or for the other companies'?
I still hate the phrase "action item", and not just because it means i'll have to do more work.
Let's make killing "marketing-speak" an "action item"
"English" isn't a plot by english speakers to establish global control.
Oh sure, just because you're not in on it the plot doesn't exist... oops! I've said too much!

nsync is one of the things i think the riaa should have to pay *us* for.
we're just all hoping that artificial intelligence will make up for a lack of natural intelligence.
that depends, how well does it run?

that's just a matter of how you choose to write / think about it.
if you go from lowest memory address to highest memory address, then ax is al|ah.
if you store it back into memory, it's al|ah.
the only reason it seems backwards is because you (and most people, i suppose) think left to right is most significant to least significant.
well duh. everyone always favors the under dog. and everyone likes to see the big guy trip & fall. (well, except the big guy)
intel has done some good stuff tho. the ieee floating point format, for example.
actually, the 8-bit bus on the 8088 made the hardware much cheaper, which greatly increased the affordability of the system.
unless you're gonna say that the whole ibmpc arcitecture set back computing, which is probably debatable.
