My trackbacks are not disabled. They simply don’t exist, their choice, apparently. It may be something going on scienceblog-wide. Trackbacks are the new spam, so there may be some level at which they don’t get to me.

I think I can smell the monolithic vs. microkernel wars warming up…

It’s not because it’s Windows, Ian; Firefox behaves the same way on all of my Linux machines too. I haven’t booted Windows in months, so I can’t quickly check whether IE is the same or worse, but I seem to remember that the only reason it seemed better was that much of its memory usage was hidden in other not-obviously-IE parts of the system.BTW, Greg, I replied to this on my own blog, at http://pl.atyp.us/wordpress/?p=1270. I tried to trackback but assume you have those disabled.

Kewl! Now if someone could only explain why Firefox needs a whopping 34 megs of memory just to get to the home page and then sucks up an additional 11 when I go to scienceblogs, I’d be thrilled. Is this the price I pay for running it on a Windoze machine?!!
