I've done tests over and over: Google Chrome is the very worst memory hog of the whole bunch. It always uses _at least_ around 1GB of RAM on OS X. That's ridiculous.
Its WebKit brother Safari has a much smaller memory footprint, Firefox on OS X even more so (well it does have some performance issues and integration of OS X specific features sucks, but you can't have it all I guess).
So Allegiant SuperCard which was HyperCard on steroids, and there was even a Windows runtime environment. It was still available long after HyperCards demise, actually Google in its wisdom tells me right now there’s a Lion Version: http://www.supercard.us/ strange that they haven’t taken over the software world in storm
Capitalistic nature? I didn't known that capitalism was part of our genes. I think we were merely brainwashed into it by society.
And by the way there's this strange place called Europe. Maybe you heard of it. In many of its countries they are acutally practising a cult called "social market economy". Market driven economies and capitalism exclude social responsibility only if you are an asshole, as a matter of fact.
Yes sure and let's just forget about the fact that we have no idea what really to do with all the nuclear waste. We'll just tuck it away underground for 10.000 years? Well how well have we been doing conserving any critical information for just a tenth of that time, say, 1000 years? How much of the buildings and information from 1011 is still in a good shape?
Nuclear fission has no future.
Thank god that we don't need military games for killing civilians! I recall that Carmageddon's sole target was to run over pedestrians with your car.
That was an awful lot of fun! And believe it or not, I'm driving accident-free since 22 years.
By the way: In the UK the pedestrians got green blood, so they could be considered non-humans and everything was fine again. Good to know that killing innocent life is only bad if it's normal people.
Yes Germany buys electricity from France, and you know what? France buys electricity from Germany, too. It's all a matter of what region you're in and where's the closest power plant and what are the prices. It's not like only we (the Germans) need France's power they need ours, too.
So, there's this reactionary catholic asshole who wants to kill the king in order to replace him with a reactionary asshole catholic king.
Wow, great revolutionary really.
Is it? I found the only thing Firefox is being good at is not sucking up all memory you have on board. I did a test and repeated that over several days, but always more or less the same result:
Cold launch opening 10 tabs. Safari 5.0 was around 640MB, Firefox around 580MB, Chrome was at 1.5 GB (sic!). Now Safari 5.1 gets closer to Chrome league in memory consumption, which makes Firefox the slimmest browser when it comes to memory consumption. If it wasn't such an alien beast on OS X and if it would just support core technologies better I might actually be able to like it some day...
That’s true and more than that in the age of the ubiquitous Internet, you are almost always travelling at the speed of light (electricity). Physical travel become less and less of a necessity for many people, so physical speed becomes irrelevant. You just meet them via the web.
That's my recollection, too. It happily ignored any of my custom changes made to the configuration files and overwrote them with default version of its own. That's why I just kept editing all the human readable nice text files to setup my machine. In the days Linuxconf was too dumbed down for me.
Of course nowadays that I have a life, a family and a job, I have better things to do with my life and I appreciate GUI tools that make my life easier...

Because he had his second coming in 1997 already when he rejoined Apple as iCEO.
Then you have to consider either or all of the following possibilities:
- Your stereo sucks
- Your ears suck
- The "classical" music you're listening to is played on kazoos, typewriters, Kalashnikovs or a Commodore 64
Huh, Betamax was crap and has nothing to do with BetacamSP. You might as well say JavaScript = Java because they sound so similar.

Yeah, but male one's. Who'd want that?

And PETA forgot that there are people in this world who eat cats
They will probably only support Active-X shit in their browser. Hooray for the open We oh, bugger.
At Apple Leopards do, and they even evolve into Lions!

Not if the civilians have green blood and can later be considered aliens or zombies.

China welcomes our new censorship overlords!
There are good cops! It's really policemen like this who give the other 5% a bad name.
I still don't get it.

Will it blend?
You must have hacked the living daylight out of Safari if it looks like this.

If it's space greeks they could be dangerous being all broke and such, could turn them into space pirates

You bastards just reminded me that I'll be 40 this month! You insensitive clods!
Admit it you always wanted to be like BOFH. He's da man!
