Open Source is starting to get on my nerves.

I love open source about 90% of the time. But FF and Eclipse are turning into a bloated sacks of fark that makes MS's worst bloated sack of fark look like notepad.

Let me see.... Right now FF is using 450 megs of ram and Eclipse is @ 358 megs.

A browser using 450 megs of ram? I close out all but one browser window and it is still using 450 megs. Open what? Suck what?

If a site has a flash video (like Youtube), FF pegs the processor of my 3 yr old (1.8 gig P4 - 1.28 gig ram) laptop and grinds it to a farking halt. Unusable.

Flash videos also pegs my 2.8 gig duel processor HP box. Nice.

No wonder I think that OSS zealots are idiots.

"But OSS is FREE!"

So is dirt. Blow me.
