Loading ...That’s right, I’ve got 41 tabs open in Firefox right now and that’s just for stories and other interesting bits of information I haven’t gotten around to posting in the past week and a half because I’ve been busy with finals or work to some degree. Mind you, I have more than 41 tabs open in Firefox in total right now; the total number is something closer to about 60 something. Having that many web pages open is using 243.7MB of RAM on the system right now so I thought I’d finally dump these suckers into a post so I can clear the cruft out of my tabs.
