I think the real question here is: D you enjoy the work get paid to perform?
Most reputable hosting site have SLAs for each one of their services. ANy place worth their salt actually draws a very clear demarcation betwwen what the customer is responsible for and for what the hosting provider is responsible.

Coder: Dear Company, twas a fearsome and gruelling campaign. I toiled night and day. Bedsores nave grown on by buttocks. But, fear not! For I present to thee....the Program! While your bag of cash is not nearly enough to cover my pain and suffering, I am a most generous and loyal Programmer and will accept it, nonetheless.
Company: Oh programmer, you are wise and god-like! You have invented glorious and unique code! We adore and fear you! Have two bags of money.

Do they want this game to play, or just to see if /.-ing is real?
(Yes, it will overheat.)
FOD, actually.

Cool. They can zap every remaining bit of power that California has left to make a black hole for a nanosecond.
Funny Yahoo! would mention annoying ad techniques. They're one of the worst offenders of pop-under ads, next to wunderground.com.

Somebody please mod this back down.

I mean, maybe it's not, but the language just reads like a lot of SPAM I receive.
