The Mi-Fi is self powered, so the laptop's power requirements are exactly |
| 12 |
the same as when using any other wifi connection. It also has the |
| 13 |
advantage that you can connect more than one computer through it. |

You can send dbus messages from the command line you just need to know |
| 24 |
what to send to put Evolution offline. Not using Evolution, I |
| 25 |
wouldn't know, but you may not need dbus. At least with Claws, I can just |
| 26 |
run "claws-mail --offline" to put the running instance in offline mode. |

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. |
