To: "fedora list" <fedora-list@redhat.com> Message-ID: <200806231451.43009.geek@uniserve.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I have an office that moved recently. Before it was using a Linksys wrt54g wireless router, dsl from the telco (telus). Now it is adjacent to another office set up the same way. Rather than continue to pay double we'd like to share the cost and the connection. Can anyone suggest whether or how I can program my router to pick up the wifi signal from the next office and get it into my box? F7 if it matters.

Since cpuspeed (see also powernow) can tinker with the processor's clock speed it is 'possible' but unlikely that the audio code woke up with the CPU running at a low power slow speed and made timing decisions that mismatch the CPU running at full speed. -- Nifty Hat Mitch T o m M i t c h e l l ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:38:48 -0700 From: Craig White <craigwhite@azapple.com> Subject: Re: Thunderbird (again!?!?)

Also without something cpu intensive running the cpu temp may not mean anything, if you do get something cpu intensive to run, that may cause it to fall over fairly quickly.
