The Registration Authority for Memory (RAM) is an international body where you can register your sticks of memory. By registering the memory, the authority can keep track of what each page is being used for, what program it's assigned to etc. This means that swapping applications in and out is quicker. With modern internet-connected servers, you can even apply to the Registration Authority for a copy of a page of memory, if your copy has become corrupted, or you want to restore it to another servers.

TBL has already apologised for that:

It depends on your CPU scheduler and your throttling algorithm, too.

I run BOINC on linux. BOINC is "niced" to have an idle priority, meaning that CPU time is only granted to it if there's nothing better to be doing. In addition, I used the on-demand frequency governor which I have instructed to ignore "niced" processes when determining whether to spin up the CPU.

As a result, yes, BOINC only uses spare CPU cycles and not too many of them, either.

What's the point of a Tablet? Well the market for PDAs has basically disappeared. If you don't fancy paying ~£800 for your handheld computer (£30/month contract for 2 years plus the initial cost), Tablets are the way to go.

The linked ICANN blog suggests http://xn----rmckbbajlc6dj7bxne2c.xn--wgbh1c/ as an example.
