As long as your CPU temperature is well under this threshhold, there should not be any problem with overheating.

Re: [Blind-Computing] daily information
Core Temp is simpler and easier to use than Speed Fan, which is really designed for hard-core techies. Once installed, Core Temp will monitor the CPU temperature in real time and display it in the System Tray. I think it may also issue some kind of warning if the CPU temperature approaches a dangerously high level. As long as your CPU temperature is well under this threshhold, there should not be any problem with overheating. Most computer manufacturers and chip makers list the maximum safe operating temperature for their CPU's in their product specs.

Control tab once to the details page and then tab once to put the focus in the details list. Press the end key to go to the end of the list and then arrow up until you hear the "from" line. This should give you the actual email address and domain of the sender. If the address is the same as your professor, you don't want to block the message. If it's different, though, you can block them. If the domain is different from your professor's--that is, the url of the email message, such as gmail.com, or hotmail.com, etc--then it would be safe to block the domain. If you are using Windows Vista and Windows Mail, blocking a sender is very easy. Press escape to return the focus to your inbox, then press the applications key and arrow up to "Junkmail" submenu. You will find a few options there, two of which say something like, "add sender's domain to blocked sender's list," and "add sender to blocked sender's list."
