You cannot.

"dB" is without a reference. Is only a relative measurement. You can, however, 
convert "dB" into some factor.

What we were talking about was "dBm". Here we use a reference point of one 
milliwatt. Now you can convert dBm to milliwatt.

Another example of a "made absolute by using a reference" logarithmic scale is 
the gain of antennas. It's usually described in dBi or dBd. The first takes 
the (hypothetical) isotropical antenna, the second an dipol as reference.



For more info, search for "dBm" in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel
