Well, I'm assuming that these things that I dislike are actually useful and liked by the majority (me not fitting that is nothing new). If everybody hates these things, WTF are they still the default on pretty much every OS out there, Windows and Mac OS do the same screen dimming things when they loose AC last time I touched one of them. Also, whilst I dislike screen dimming with a passion, I wouldn't actually dislike the power aware balancer (assuming it would actually work). Then I'm on BAT I tend to not actually do much more than read email/browse web and maybe write some code. But I rarely if ever compile when on battery.
