All the paperwork seems pretty hi-fi, but it turns out that the glade interface written in python calls up little 4-liner shell scripts to change from powersaver mode to performance mode... the sad part is, the person didn't know about CPU Scaling Frequency Monitor applet (http://twitpic.com/5od6h/full http://twitpic.com/5od6h/full) in gnome that is there since 2004. And who could complain more about the Power History graph (http://twitpic.com/5odjg/full http://twitpic.com/5odjg/full) I wonder if there is a way to make such people aware that what they're are going gaga over is already implemented and what is made there is something insignificant to be included in any repo. That's why maybe this little overdo is getting hosted on Microsoft's open source initiative/crap - codeplex

Some people just like to show off. I don't think he would've needed so much paper work for this if he would have dropped a simple query on a mailing list, neither is there any need of such app, nor does it do something out of the way. I just got pissed at those scribblings over the papers which had "Microsoft" written over them, and the post talks about Ubuntu... we've really got some weird kind of codemonkeys coming up with stupid ideas these days, trying to reinvent the wheel or for this one its screwing up the already existing smooth running wheel (the applet shown).
