Jono gave solutions for any column longest, as for the "filling the
page", there are footer solutions in CSS, too. This is not a technical
problem but a misunderstanding in thinking. A web page is not a canvas
that is as big as your browser window is, it is as high as the content
is, and that is it. If you don't have content, your page will not fill
the browser window. Which might be a good thing - as you will realise
the more you surf with Opera on a smartphone.

CSS is not there to make tables better, as long as there is no multi
column model in HTML everything will be a hack.

If you embrace diversity of displays then CSS is fun, if you want it
to be as strict as spacer gif and width="1" layouts, then it can be
annoying.
