You jest, but... Doesn't every system idle process in existence essentially halt the CPU until there's something to do?
It's even possible that the so-called system idle process is just a book-keeping artifact for the OS to assign idle time to (in the depths of the scheduler), with no actual process running...
Don't forget outside! At the very *least*, run conduit to the end of the driveway if it's any length - at least two, so you can run power and low voltage stuff (code usually forbids running both in the same conduit). Access for the deck etc also useful.
It doesn't hurt to run some other access points out the house as well, to help with future dev. I put in a carport, and the *one* available conduit coming out of the house made power and a camera possible. We have concrete sidewalk al around the house, so getting wires from the outside to the inside is very difficult now.
For music / audio about the house, you usually want access to the ceiling of each room, so you might want to think about conduit for that as well. Our house had wire installed, but not the right type - we had to live with it since I didn't want to rip out ceilings and walls everywhere.
An excellent idea. Further, to avoid the cost of re-printing every schedule in the country, why don't we just change the easily changable clocks instead? We could call the period when this was in effect 'Clock Change Time' or somesuch.
I suspect that the snow build up is highly termperature dependent - very cold snow won't stick to anything. In N.A., many cities have winters and snowfalls very close to freezing temperatures, which is the perfect temp for sticky snow.
Although similar in concept, that particular nuclear mechanism is always refered to as alpha particle decay. Fission is typically used when a) a heavy nucleus b) splits into two similar sized pieces, plus some detritus.
Almost certainly what the summary/title is trying to say is that the new technique does not make its surrounding radioactive, i.e. that once the fusion reaction stops, so does the radiation.
This is the popular / layman's idea of 'radiation' - an inimical influence that cannot be removed from its host material.
Wow, that idea is about as old as dirt, and has been thrashed out long ago.... A great post from 2004 talks about this and other ideas of Copyright in a digital age.
Right here, right now - in Process Explorer, using 'Working Set', which I believe is current in RAM usage: SteamService.exe 12,324 KB Steam.Exe 160,624 KB
Yeah, because the utilities haven't thought about *any* of these problems.
How about a neighbourhood with AC 'rolling blackouts'? Each house is told to turn off their AC for 15 minutes every 2 hours. BAM, peak usage down 12%, nobody actually cares since AC off for 15 minutes is barely noticable.
Lather, rinse, repeat for other appliances. Car? Home owner decides how much 'expensive' electricity VS cheap overnight electricy to use, say "charge to 50%, but contimue only if rates fall below X".
This actually isn't rocket science, and your naysaying is part of the problem.

The modern kernel idle loop should be halting the CPU until there's work to do. It probably doesn;t spin that much, really.

Not computer generated, but lots of options:

The owner of the vehicle pays the insurance. It doesn't matter who's driving.
Then the right response would just be "Give me some paper and a pen, I don't want all these other listeners to know it."
If the super says "Do it anyway", you do, since it's now his decision, not Childs'.

Ah yes, Montreal - the only city I've seen that feels it necessary to have signs saying (translated) "Wait for the green light."
*Ignorance* is temporary. Stupid is forever.
Proving once again that, once all other options are eliminated, the Americans will do the right thing

Limits are for average drivers / cars, not enthusiasts. Do you *really* trust everyone around you to drive at 130 (whatevers) in the rain?

"Repeating". None of the numbers you indicated are repeating (sometimes called periodic) decimal (or any other integer base) expansions.
It's a minor mis-spelling of 'per se', you ignorant gibbon. Anyone with half a brain knows exactly what he's trying to say.
