My Overall CPU condition is fine, but one of my processors (the first one) seems to be heavily working (and I can feel that from my fan noise and the heat).    I checked task manager and resource monitor to see which process is taking that much power. Found nothing. I guessed that maybe not all the processes are actually shown in resource monitor so I installed Process Lasso and Process Explorer (both are more or less similar to Windows' resource monitor). Still found nothing. I also set all affinities to 1-7, meaning that all my processes can be start on all my CPUs except the first one. Yet, there is a huge load on my first CPU.    By some research, I found that it may be the case that my first CPU's clock is somehow set to be really high, which I guess, means more power consumption, more fan speed and more heat (I don't have a concrete knowledge about the clock, so not sure if my guess is really correct). Noting that my Maximum Frequency in resource monitor, is actually suggesting that my CPU (don't indicates which one) is working with nearly 130% of maximum frequency (= boost speed/base speed *100 = 3.6/2.6 *100 = 138 %) or my maximum boost speed frequency to be more precise. So I tried to change my maximum processor state to something considerably less than 100% (say 50) to see If there is any difference in heat and noise. Nothing again even after reboot.    My system is dual-boot and I don't have that problem in my other OS (Ubuntu 16.04). No noise or heat.  So here are my questions:   Is my first CPU really working that much? If so, then how it's possible to have such normal average CPU usage (the average is incredibly close tho the mean of all other CPUs)? Why affinity change doesn't made any difference on the CPU usage? The CPU usage of all my processes is less than what is actually is being used. Look at resource monitor picture: I have selected all the processes and now the orange line shows the amount of CPU that is taken by them. I checked the same in safe mode. Orange line, exactly coincides the total usage in safe mode. So I'm suspecting that something is happening in my normal boot. What may be the reason and how I can solve it?   My system is:   Intel core i7 - 4720 HQ  2.6 GHz upto 3.6 Windows 10 (64 bit) NVidia GTX 950 M     PS:   This screenshot, shows the Process Lasso's interface. Those 8 green bars on upper right show my CPU usage. Also the column called Rules, indicates the affinities on the processes.
I've installed Process Lasso and in All processes tab, set all affinities to 1-7, meaning that all the processes can be start on all my CPUs except the first one. Yet, there is a huge load on my first CPU.   I personally have no clue what's happening here and really appreciate any help.  My system is:   Intel core i7 - 4720 HQ  2.6 GHz upto 3.6 Windows 10 (64 bit) NVidia GTX 950 M   This screenshot, shows the software's interface. Those 8 green bars on upper right show my CPU usage. Also the column called Rules, indicates the affinities on the processes.       PS: These are screenshots that show the more familiar Task Manager and Resource Monitor. I've sorted all with respect to their CPU usage. Note that the overall CPU usage is just fine (less than 30% most of the time), but in Resource Monitor, same as the Process Lasso, it's obvious that that most of the load is on CPU0 and the others are almost free.  Also I found out that my total CPU usage, is actually more than all my processes altogether! The orange line in Resource Monitor picture, shows the amount of CPU usage of all my processes. (I did the same in safe mode. Orange line, exactly coincides the total usage in safe mode. So I'm suspecting that something is happening in my normal boot.)

Difference between "@id/" and "@+id/" in Android How to assign symbols to functions says that a photon of  to $10^{-62}$ kg has been detected:     10×10−62 kg   Mass equivalent of the energy of the lightest photon   detected [citation needed]   This equates ($mc^2=E=hf=h\frac{c}{\lambda}$) to a wavelength of $\lambda=2.2\times 10^{20}$ m (roughly a million ly)! Can anyone provide a citation for this measurement? And how can such a large wavelength/low energy photon be detected?  Edit  Apart from the quotation (true/false un/reliable un/documented ....), I'd like to learn about the lightest photon detected, or about the instrumental limit: what is the lower limit of energy that can be registerd by an intrument (or the greatest wavelength), and how it is done? For example, can you detect a radiowave of 1 Hz? Let $E$ be an empty set. Then, $\sup(E) = -\infty$ and $\inf(E)=+\infty$. I thought it is only meaningful to talk about $\inf(E)$ and $\sup(E)$ if $E$ is non-empty and bounded?   Thank you. Adding tags to files in OS X: How to use, where are tags stored, and will they work on a network? Applescript run from menu bar? I would like to be able to copy and paste text in the command line in Bash using the same keyboard bindings that Emacs uses by default (i.e. using C-space for set-mark, M-w to copy text, C-y, M-y to paste it, etc.).  The  says that Bash comes with some of these key bindings set up by default.   For example, yanking (C-y) works by default on my terminal. However, I can't get the set-mark and copy commands to work, and they don't seem to be bound to any keys by default.  Usually, the way a user can define her own key bindings is to add them to .inputrc. So I looked and found the following bash functions in the documentation that I presume can help me define the Emacs-like behavior that I want (i.e. set-mark with C-space and copy with M-w).  copy-region-as-kill ()      Copy the text in the region to the   kill buffer, so it can be yanked right   away. By default, this command is   unbound.   and    set-mark (C-@)      Set the mark to the point. If a   numeric argument is supplied, the mark   is set to that position.   If I understand correctly, the above means that copy-region-as-kill is not bound to any keyboard sequence by default, while set-mark is bound to C-@ by default.   I tried C-@ on my terminal, but I don't think it runs set-mark because I don't see any text highlighted when I move my cursor. In any case, I tried adding  keyboard bindings (M-w and C-) to the functions  copy-region-as-kill and set-mark above in my .inputrc and then reloading it with C-x C-r, but this didn't work. I know that my other entries in .inputrc work because I have other user-defined keybindings defined in it.  Is there anything I am doing wrong? Am I missing anything? Is there a ZIP code I can enter when paying-at-the-pump in the USA with a foreign credit card? In the USA, many  fuel dispensers that accept credit cards require a  that corresponds to the billing address of the credit card.  In Canada, for instance, we have , so it's not obvious what you're supposed to type in since the gas dispensers have only numeric keypads.  Entering '00000' or '90210' seems to always result in failed authorization.  Is there a zip code that works for credit cards with foreign billing addresses? I've just made a set of armor by using a male body mesh model I downloaded and selecting certain faces from the model and duplicating them to create viable armor pieces.   Since the pieces are just duplicated from the same mesh male model, then it's still part of the same object.   How do I separate the armor piece from the model to make the pieces separate? Like the title says, can a matrix in $\mathbb{R}$ have a minimal polynomial that has coefficients in $\mathbb{C}$?  I have a feeling the answer is yes because the characteristic polynomial can have coefficients in $\mathbb{C}$ and so I don't see any reason why not, I was merely asking in case there was some sneaky proof that proves that this cannot happen.

My network icon is always a question mark in both wired and wireless connection but everything network related works correctly. What causes a black-body radiation curve to be continuous? The  (unlike the quantized emission seen from atomic spectra), is continuous over all frequencies.  Many objects approximate ideal blackbodies and have radiation curves very similar in shape and continuity to that of an ideal black-body (often minus some emission and absorption lines from the atoms in an object, such as radiation curves seen from stars).  I am wondering what exactly gives rise to a basically continuous black-body radiation curve in real objects? Since atomic energy states are quantized, it seems real life black-body curves would have some degree of measurable quantization to them (or perhaps the degree of quantization is so small the radiation curves look continuous).
