It might be the memory cache taking up the bulk of that memory. If you have 1 GB of RAM installed, for example, your memory cache will default to 31 MB.
Also let them know you're not visiting their site because of annoying ads. When they realize that serving intrusive ads decreases their ad revenue, they'll stop serving them.
Firefox 1.0.1 is supposed to have only security and stability fixes. Unless an unstable engineer feels insecure about Slashdot fans complaining about the Slashdot bug, I don't think it'll be fixed until Firefox 1.1.
However, South Koreans all study English in school. They need to take a proficiency test in English to get into college. When my brother went to Korea, I asked him to buy me a t-shirt with Korean letters on it -- all he could find was one t-shirt with the Korean alphabet on it, because all the others had English. I can read lots of Korean, too, because the alphabet is phonetic and many of the words are phonetically spelled English words. Believe me, South Koreans can read English perfectly well.
Or maybe Microsoft is illegally abusing its monopoly power, and it's time for the government to finally step in and put a stop to their anticompetitive practices?
So then Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly on desktop OSes, as I can easily use others... I'm confused:-P
Ok, I'll explain. In order to run my son's educational software, I need to use Windows. In order to see my digital pictures and videos from my camera and camcorder, I need to use Windows. In order to take a practice computerized GRE, I need to use Windows. For my wife to do her job, she needs to use Windows. There is no real choice on the desktop -- in many situations, you are forced to use Windows. Microsoft has a 95% or greater share of the OS market on desktop computers.
Now explain how anyone is forced to use Google instead of Yahoo! or MSN search. Or point me to stats that say even 90% of searches use the Google engine.
Too often these days people use the term monopoly when they really mean big company I don't like.
It still worked after restarting my browser using a recent trunk build of Mozilla on Windows XP. Try a recent trunk nightly build of Firefox and see if it works after restart.
My question for you is why do the Slashbot continually claim that Firefox is so superior when it won't even render their favorite site correctly?
Believe me, Internet Explorer has worse bugs than Firefox does. It's just that nearly every web developer tests their site very thoroughly in Internet Explorer, and most will go to great trouble to work around IE's many bugs. That's why sites look better in IE than in Firefox, even though Firefox is inherently superior. As bugs get fixed in Firefox and as more web developers test their sites in Firefox, this situation will improve.
Yep, I believe that was the plan. And it has succeeded to a certain extent -- many people who choose to use IE (and therefore must use Windows) do so because sites they want or need to use won't work with the alternative browser they tried.
Now, we can let MS get away with it, or we can complain to sites that don't work with the non-IE browser of our choice. History has shown that when enough users complain, webmasters make their sites work in other browsers.
At my last job, the sales and tech support department hired contractors to build a new program for tracking orders, shipments, payments, bug reports, etc. Long story short, the project failed completely and they ended up paying money to customize the off-the-shelf system they'd been using for years.
Maybe the best solution is neither just off-the-shelf software nor just custom software, but easily customizable off-the-shelf software. Of course, "easily" means barely doable by highly-paid well-trained contractors.
There's one shared core with different user interfaces built around it. If there's a bug in the page layout code, that's in the core, and fixing the bug automatically fixes it for all Mozilla browsers. If there's a bug in the user interface, that needs to be fixed once for each different Mozilla browser.
Talk about ancient history! When mozilla.org first decided to focus on Firefox, they were going to "replace" the suite with FIrefox/Thunderbird. They quickly junked that plan when they realized that many large organizations, including ones that support Mozilla with money or developers, preferred the suite. Dropping support for the suite would mean losing those companies' support for Mozilla.
I generally prefer DJGPP over cygwin. They're GNU utilities ported to DOS/Windows. There are small utilities like rm, mv, and touch, as well as big ones like g++.
I'm not seeing your point. Your security is harder to compromise than mine is, but then again someone else could come up with security that's better than yours. Who are you to say that what I propose isn't good enough, but yours is? There is no sharp dividing line, as you imply, there are only levels of security.

OOoFF! Someone already thought of it!

Maybe the success of Firefox will force web programmers to develop for more than one browser, and then we can all more easily switch to Linux.

Accroding to the Cambridge Dictionaries Online, a monopoly is "(an organization or group which has) complete control of something, especially an area of business, so that others have no share." According to OneStat, Google has a 57.2% share of the search engine market, and Yahoo! has 21.3%. How is Google a monopoly again?
What does Google have a monopoly on? There are other search engines I can easily use. Maybe you should look up the definition of monopoly?
This has been reported as bug 281377.

I want to know when they're going to fix the layout problem, the UI glitch, and the speed bump? Hey, any word on that new feature they were adding?

You mean like the Mozilla Guidebook?
You might want the Mozilla ActiveX Plug-in.

You didn't hear about those hydrogen deposits they just found on Mars? Once they complete the pipeline, it'll be cheap dependable energy for us all!
