Nope, nothing. Top shows all 0's under CPU. Nothing appears to be doing |
| 39 |
anything at all. |

"No human being should be denied the fundamental right to educate themselves |
| 89 |
or indulge their curiosities. To deny any person the right to do so, for |
| 90 |
whatever reason, is nothing more than the safeguarding of ignorance to |
| 91 |
ensure that enlightenment does not become a threat. For nothing in this |
| 92 |
world is more dangerous than an open mind." -- Matthew Good |
