Did CPDN go multi-threaded at some point, (but without the ability to change its threadcount on the fly)? (Years ago when dual core was shiney and new I was told CPDN would probably never go multi-threaded because their was too much cruft in the ancient codebase that would need to be changed to make it possible.)
With standard one thread/task applications throttling down with a time variable number of usable cores works reasonably well for adjusting CPU load downward (hyper-threading and AMD's shared FPUs non-linearity not withstanding).
Now that I think about it, I'm having vague recollections of early versions of the boinc client having an option to limit work to a fraction of a systems sole available core back in the day; but that it was ripped out in favor of options built around using X cores when multi-core became common because having both around confused people.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Ironic indeed. I had to laugh.

16 °C and sunshine. Finally.
It's good to have a sunny weekend. What will you do? I will probably watch some Formula 1 (it's the during the morning here) and go outside after, maybe some beers..

I want the weather to be horrible.
Just spent £6k on a new engine for our '76 VW Camper and it broke after only 100 miles 
If the weather is grim I don't want to be out in the camper.

I am speaking English, Italian, French and Deutsch.
French because my parents live in Lausanne, English because of coding and italian (the place is Lugano).
I never took italian classes, just learned it in public places, like bars.
The first 10 years here I had an american boss so office language was english, now it's italian, even a little bit dialect (lombardia style).

But do you spell it Color or Colour

You type correctly. Now can we get Friends over the pond to stick a u in it?

don't get me started, at colledge we were using Borland Pascal. I kept typing .BackColour !

At least 10 years since I last 'played' with it, if memory serves it was compiled. You could have some fun with the Borland Turbo version as you feed it some C commands and screw everything.

what were the impacts when "disturbing" the compiler´s stableness with foreign instructions...
a hanging IDE? check, quite amusing
or a hanging OS? check, very amusing, time to take a coffeebreak
