Idle is when the computer is on, but it is not in use at that time. For example, were you using the computer, then stopped for a period (you made no key depressions or the like), your computer then becomes idle. Just consider it as if it were a car; if you start your car and leave it in park, then your car is idle (its on but not in use). Were u to put your car in drive, it would no longer b idle (the same can be said with a computer if u make a key depression). Hope this helps. == idle== lazy ===

The lowest speed at which an engine operates smoothly when it is not carrying any type of load. In the case of aircraft engines, it is the engine RPM when the throttle or power control lever is fully closed. In cold weather conditions, it may be necessary to keep the engine RPM of a reciprocating engine higher than idle to keep the engine running.
