It's not hard to determine that. Even task manager will tell you total CPU cycles/IO cycles wasted on a per/process basis.
Not enough information.
When they started looking at reducing Linux's power usage it turned out that it wasn't running stuff in the background that was the problem - it was how you decided when to run in the background.
If a 100 tasks are all wakeing up on 100 different timers then the system will never get a chance to sleep, enter low power states and so on.
If those processes can be made to cooperate and start on, say, 10 different timers, then the system will spend more short times running at max power, and longer running at low power states.
Has anyone noticed that they now describe Man Made Global warming, which nobody uses anymore to describe climate change based on man made contribution, or that is, to initiate a world wide carbon tax, is now generic Climate Change?
You boring little toad.
Why do you bother spouting the same crap that other ignorant toads have spouted before you.
Please come up with something new.
Look, even "Yahoo Answers" can point out your idiocy. What a failure.
But being a Canadian, I think it's great news. The longer the pseudoskeptics funded by the Kochs keep folks blinded, the more likely in a hundred years or so Canada will own the US's ass because we'll be planting grain in the Northwest Territories.
Having a near neighbour with the economy and politics of a third world country and the armed forces of a superpower is going to be real fun in the next few years.

It's not that simple mate. Gas-powered cars are just a small part of the problem, they impact mainly large cities.
No, the CO2 in the atmosphere is more or less homogenised. It doesn't matter where it's emitted.
There's also planes and container ships (look at the drop in pollution during the flight ban post 9/11), they impact the higher atmosphere and the seas respectively. These two areas each are bigger than the earth's landmass, plus they move around the planet and spread pollution much more quickly, yet they are largely unseen by the average city-dweller.
it never ceases to absolutely amaze some that no one is talking about ionospheric modification and superheaters, the likes of HAARP and other nefarious technology that is being deployed by governments and new world order industries around the world in an un-ending assault upon the earth's atmosphere, directly contributing to global warming and other weather changes, including deluges of storms, floods hurricanes upon the planet.
Chemtrails! You forgot to mention the chemtrails. Or is that "other nefarious technology?"
I see: [A] Evidence that they have tended to be alarmist (as opposed to unbiased scientific opinion), [B] Evidence that more has been spent in that field, apparently in reaction to (if not in proportion to) that alarmism. Those are just observations on my part. Make what you want of them.
"Just sayin".
You descend to new levels of hypocritical fuckwaddery.
If I were the scientists, I will focus much more on the diminishing aquifers underneath Iowa first
Because scientists are completely interchangable, a climatologist is exactly who you want to study... what? What is there to study? The aquifers are drying up because too much water is being extracted. Not exactly a scientific problem.
The GNOME project is probably the best example. In a few short years it went from being the premiere open source desktop environment (GNOME 2) to a total cesspool of rancid, rotting Mac OS X ripoff and design idiocy (GNOME 3). Today it is unusable.
Looks at screen. Yup, looks like Gnome 3 to me, yup, it's usable.
Probably a good 90% at least. If this ego stroking illusion of choice were removed and that effort instead put to use fixing issues with one of the big three?
Fortunately, the Wikipedia community has strong mechanisms in place to deal with this, from the famous cry of [citation needed] to the rigorous checks and standards put in place by its hierarchy of editors and admins.

From the article:
Other clients are more outspoken, and less happy. Emad Rahim, Dean of the College of Business and Management at Colorado Technical University, recruited Wiki-PR earlier this year. [...]
Rahim paid Wiki-PR $1,500 over two installments to create a page for him on the site. [...]
At first he was happy with the result, but within two weeks the page had come to the attention of other Wikipedia editors. [...]. On July 17, Rahim emailed the firm after noticing that his page had been marked for deletion for not being notable enough. CEO Michael French replied, “You're covered by Page Management. Not to worry. Thank you for your patience with the encyclopedic process.”
A few days later the page was deleted, and Rahim contacted French again. “You're in the queue for reuploading. We'll be live in five to eight business days,” was the entirety of French’s response. “What will prevent them from rejecting it again?” the academic asked. “It wasn't rejected. It was approved and went live,” French responded, adding: “Your page was vandalized.”
When the page was finally created again, it contained only one sentence. Rather than apologizing, French told Rahim to raise his media profile, and connected the academic to Scarsdale media, who offered 30 days of "media relations efforts" for another $800.
“They promised me results that they had no control over.“ At just 30 words long, Rahim’s profile cost him the equivalent of $50 per word.
Sounds like Wikipedia was doing its job and "Wiki-PR" are a bunch of useless scamwers.
Slashdot Mirror
France isn't part of the "West" now?
Hahahah..
So It's the nasty French muslims who are buring between 42000 and 60000 cars a year.
So who burns between 40000 and 70000 cars a year in the UK?
See page 50:

Maybe they just wanted to know how many French cars would burn this year, set ablaze by.....guess who?
If they wanted to know how many cars would be burned they could ask the French ministry of the Interior.
If they wanted to know who burns them they definitely shouldn't ask a racist arsehole like you.
I think many people are missing the point.
People are not pissed because the NSA was spying on France.
People are pissed because the NSA was spying on the French, i.e. on massive numbers of ordinary citizens -
the "DRTBOX" program intercepted 62.5 million telephone calls in France between 10 December 2012 and 8 January 2013

I mean, seriously you guys, learn to prioritize!

The breakthroughs started with powertop.
One has intelligent adult conversations with intelligent adults.
One can even attempt to talk to unintelligent adults, intelligent children or even unintelligent children.
It is not possible to have an intelligent conversation with liars.
Those are just observations on my part. Make what you want of them.
You are scum.
you are now aware that the u.s. is bigger than the e.u. and u.s. states are bigger than e.u. countries.
For values of bigger that include smaller.
US population: 317 million
EU population: 507 million
Largest US state: 38 million (California)
Largest EU country: 81 million (Germany)
Ok, the US state with the smallest population (Wyoming, 576 thousand) has more people than the smallest EU country (Malta, 416 thousand).

The phrase "global warming" should be abandoned in favour of "climate change", Mr Luntz says

Hum.

There is a difference between Americans and 'merkins.
Yeah. The number of Americans I'd strap to my groin is vanishingly small.
(Not a big fan of merkins either).
Yeah, we should be renting the planet, then when it's all fucked up all we've lost is our deposit.
Don't forget to stiff the landlord for the last few months rent.

These two areas each are bigger than the earth's landmass, plus they move around the planet and spread pollution much more quickly, yet they are largely unseen by the average city-dweller.
As to whether planes are worse than cars:
For the US, about 28% of total CO2 emission comes from transport, 33% from electricity generation and 20% from industry.
http://climate.dot.gov/about/transportations-role/overview.html
Of the CO2 from transport about 61% is from "cars and light trucks", 18% from big trucks and busses, 10% from aircraft, 4% from ships and 2% from rail.
http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_vehicles/why-clean-cars/global-warming/
So you are simply wrong. Cars are a part of the problem, much worse than planes or ships.
Please mod parent up.
As +1 funny of course.

Weather is not climate. Climate is not weather.
Is there a trend?
