[00:23] Anyone ever worked with Expat? [02:27] Shouldn't I be a bit worried if iwconfig on my laptop implies: Signal level = -37dBm, noise level = -89dBm, and so forth? [02:31] thats a much better signal than mine [02:31] are you worried that it's suspiciously good? [02:31] just moreso of being a negative integer. :P [02:31] oh no thats fine [02:32] otherwise I wonder what would be full power for my wireless interface.. [02:32] decibels are a logarithmic representation of a linear value [02:33] so the sign doesnt mean any measured value is negative [02:33] I feel stupid for not knowing of logarithms. xP [02:34] despite being a senior in high schewl. [02:34] but yes, I get what you're implying [02:34] -37dBm means its receiving a signal strength of about 200nW [02:34] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm [02:35] considering the wireless router is about... [02:35] 2-3 years from the laptop [02:35] yards* [02:35] Yep, sure, I'll just go with that--light years. :P
