- Caius: keiki_: use up all spare cycles
- keiki_: why would you want to do that?

- Caius: and you soon realise why having it generate as much heat as possible is a good thing
- viking: hehe
- keiki_: ...
- keiki_: *headdesk*

- keiki_: *headdesk*
- wlll: 8 processes running on my iMac and a couple of laptops too
