Under Panther, I was (and am on the iBook) usually running three browsers, each with multiple tabs and sometimes windows, and two email programs, two newsreaders, BBEdit, iPhoto, iTunes and maybe another program or three all at the same time with no problem. And the screensaver works. I noticed under Tiger, thou initially faster, takes a fair amount of memory what with Spotlight indexing stuff on a regular basis, like when mail is automatically downloaded, and Dashboard, leave widgets open and it soaks up the memory.

I’ve noticed sometimes I don’t get the screensaver, screen just darkens a bit. When I check, sure enough, I was down to about 20MB free RAM. There is a lot of inactive memory, stuff laying idle I guess. Emptying Safari’s cache generally frees up a lot, enough to run the screensaver anyway. Kindof wished I’d gotten 2GB RAM instead of the 1GB I have.

So there is a tradeoff, if you like to do a zillion things at once, go for the most RAM you can afford. It’s worth it. Had a thought, now with a new Firefox extension I got after seeing Jay had one, I now have three browsers that will save my sessions. Useful when one crashes. Firefox is still the most versatile. Just comparing Jay’s extensions to mine, there’s more I’d like to try. (more…)

Reading this post brought back memories of Eric Carman getting an anal probe in the very first episode of South Park. I prefer memories like that to memories of Saddam in his underwear.

Men. In. Underwear. Sephy would look good in underwear. Very good indeed.

Back to reality, you’d think whoever took the photos of Saddam committed a greater crime than the thugs that beheaded Americans the way people fussed about it. Saddam is a celebrity and that’s the price of fame, get to contend with the paparazzi. Pics have been shown everywhere too. Doubt Abercromie & Fitch will be courting him to model thou. He just doesn’t have it.

Read where Saddam is writing his autobiography. Probably make a few million off the book and movie rights. Or maybe he could have his own reality show, Saddam and his prison mates washing their socks. It couldn’t be much worse than the Britney Spears one. She came off as a bubble headed boob.

More to the point, why is George Bush probing Saddam’s underwear? Quoting the Sun in reference to Bush’s probing.

His spokesman said: “He has been briefed. He wants to get to the bottom of it.”

Bottom indeed.
