adding a fact table to a SSAS 2005 cube

So you're trying to add a fact table to a cube that you've already created, but you can't figure out how to do so without recreating the cube from scratch?  Here's what you do:  In the Measures pane in the Cube Structure tab, right-click and select New Measure Group.  Then select the fact table, and voila!  (This is assuming you've already put the fact table in the data source view.)

addendum:  Looks like the standard way to add a dimension to the cube is to right-click on the cube name in the Dimensions window in the Cube Structure tab and select Add Cube Dimension.

SSAS cube: "attribute key not found" error
I just spent over an hour trying to figure out why my data tables were correct but I was getting an error about an attribute key not being found (i.e. an unlinkable foreign key).   I finally figured out that processing one dimension at a time before processing the cube can get fix whatever is out of sync.  [Right-click on the dimension in Solution Explorer to process it separately.]

CPU percent limit in .Net

Why doesn't the .Net framework have anything that lets you set a maximum CPU usage for an application?  Is it something Windows can't handle?  I'd really like to be able to say, "I don't care if this app gets stuck in a loop or whatever, it will never get above 25% CPU."
