My dad might("might" being the important word) install a wireless network. If he does, I'm going to spend my savings on a laptop. So, I need a project that will notice that the computer has gone to battery and reside in RAM until it gets plugged back in.
It would be nice, though not totally necessary, to pick a project that generates less heat in the laptop than the others.(I don't know if this is even possible if you assume 100% cpu utilization)
I'm already aware of Prime95 and it's ability to slow down according to a schedule(can it be done for things other than primality proving in Prime95?). If possible, I'd like a basic list of what projects notice battery power. Also, although I might go my own way, I'd like to know which the team would prefer for me to run.
