You can also try shutting down (obviously), then removing the heat sink, put some thermal paste on the processor and reinstall the heat sink. Sometimes there isn't much (any) thermal paste there and the processor can't get the heat into the heat sink.

can I put

Personally, I don't see how another O.S. would work on the tablet devices.
They don't have any of the hardware other O.S.'s assume (such as a keyboard),
and they have such proprietary hardware. The hardware is so touch centric,
than running a non-touch O.S. does not seem wise, but I could be wrong.
if I bought, say, WAR AND PIECE
or something out of copyright { schopenhauer or marcus aurelius }
that is in text, how do I get it to whatever tablet I have?
right now we've got cable and I use the telco for my server.
I know that works, but it is only good for my computer network.
but say I wanted to keep things simple and buy some kind of kindle
or nook. how does amazon.com or bn.com get their new ebooks onto
my reader?
All of the tablet type devices I'm aware of can access the internet through
WiFi, which allows them to download the various books. Many of them now also
have a 4g type cellular antenna which can be used (with a subscription for
network access through your favorite telecom) to download your favorite book.
I admit I'm most familiar with putting books on Apple tablet devices. PDFs or
ePubs can be e-mailed to the device, which opens well in their reading app.
The devices allow any text (including I suppose, plain text) on the screen to
be spoken by the device.

Re: Does 'top' work on multi-processor systems?
If I recall correctly, on dual processor systems, 200% is full processor utilization, so on an essentially 8 processor system, 800% would be full processor utilization. 157% in top would actually amount to about 20% of your full processor power. On Thursday, July 03, 2008, at 05:41AM, John Almberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a 3 month old server with two quad-core processors, 8G of RAM, and an array of fast hard drives. The two main applications are web server and mail server. There are only about 20 small-business websites and approx. 40 email accounts on the server. i.e., not much. In terms of actual usage, performance is great. Web pages load fast, and email is processed quickly. And the 92 days of up time says that this server has been up 100% since it's been installed in colo. However, 'top' shows a fairly high load (see below). If when I leave top running for a while, I see the load average spike up to 7 or 8 occasionally. However, this doesn't translate into slow performance... pages still load quickly. Also, what's up with that 157% WCPU for the mysql process? That just seems wrong. The WCPU number for mysql has been stuck up above 100% for a few weeks... it seems like something is broken there. On my previous single processor system, top was a good rough indicator of how the system was doing. But it doesn't seem to work very well on this 8 core system. My best guess is that the bogus mysql number is also throwing off the load averages, making them higher than they really are, but that's just a guess. Any thoughts?

You need to set up the scanner the same as you would to scan a black and white film negative, then it should all work. The better the scanner, the better the resolution you'll have.

So you're saying that the authentication problem was despite proven good user name and password? Yes. That is exactly what I'm saying. It's not clear that there was anything wrong on the morning of 3 October. Did you give up or continue? I deinstalled 4.1.14 later on the 2nd and started recompiling 4.0.26. I finished installing and fixing downgrade issues on the 3rd, at which time dovecot connected successfully. There have been some changes to authentication (in particular, password hashing) between 4.0 and 4.1. It's possible that you need to do something to your Dovecot configuration, but unfortunately I don't know Dovecot at all. I'm not saying anything is wrong with 4.1, I was just trying to point out that there *may* in some cases be compatibility issues with 4.1. It doesn't *always* play nice with others, as the OP claimed, and as you say, its probably a dovecot issue, but downgrading solved it nicely. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
