Good evening David,     
It was foretold that on 13/06/2008 @ 16:19:31 GMT-0400 (which was
17:19:31 where I live) David Laakso would write:

Tnx for the reference ... [2] seems the way to go ...

But upon reading, there's something i don't grasp:

"Now  if  you wanted to actually achieve a 0.5em padding-bottom on the
column, then you'd need code like  this:
#block_1, #block_2,#block_3
{
padding-bottom: 1000em;
margin-bottom: -999.5em; } "

Instead of :

padding-bottom: 32767px;
margin-bottom: -32767px;

Being the fact that you need to apply padding-bottom: big_value to the
column  blocks,  where$big_value is a large enough value to guarantee
that it's equal to or larger than the tallest column and the limit is
32767px, how does he get to these em values?
