Reading the FA aside, does it ever occur to people that a company in the business of making heat-dissipating pads specifically designed to work with laptops just might take the internal temperature of the laptop into consideration?

Yeah that's like a router being designed by people who don't care for security! It's madness...oh wait...
You could argue that, but seeing as there are decent sysadmins out there (no really) who will have turned this feature off, it's pretty severe. Admittedly if I had turned it off, then I'd check to see if that was actually the case, but it's very easy to just believe the interface. After all, they'll have checked it before shipping it, won't they? Won't they?
Exactly, like the 'mystery door' which is what writers call the door in the Simpsons' house which is either a door to the basement (see the episode with Burns' son) or the storage closet (chili cook off).
I think that one of the greatest aids to the take up of Linux on the desktop is the take up by companies.
We're read about several large organisations taking it up recently, and many small companies are turning to it as a cost-saving measure. As it's more prevailent in working life it naturally follows that users will use it at home.
If you use Linux at work, then it's simpler for you to switch at home. There's no need to learn two systems if you don't need to.
I'm aware that this sounds glib, but in my experience a lot of non-techy end users have enough difficulty getting used to Windows. As such if they want a home PC for e-mail and typing etc then they'll stick with what they know.

While this is true, you could equally say that it requires Windows too so in fact the game is well over 700Mb (or however big a minimal install of XP is).
If you're dispairing about that, just wait until this decends into an argument about which country invented what. And then into the fact that one or other argument is one the Nazi's would have used. Or something...
The sad fact is that it may just be too hard to get all the right people back together. On the messageboards on Billy West's website (the voice of Fry, Zapp, Zoiberg etc but you know that) he said that the production team had broken up. At least I think that's where he said it anyway. But he has said he'd love to make more so who knows?
That said isn't Katy Sagal doing something else with her time now?
Family Guy is pretty much confirmed now, as the official site of the voice of Lois (forget her name) says as much.
This is probably uneducated on the matter, but I can understand why they want to move.
Frankly 4 months is way too long for the site to be "not completely functional" and it can't help but make you doubt the quality of the administration of the site if there weren't sufficient provisions in place for this eventuality. Any website is a target so any webadmin should have a plan in place.
When there are seemingly more secure options out there, more reliable anyway, then you'd go with them. Being faithful is one thing, but you can only do that for so long.
In Europe (and probably other places, I don't know) we switch the date and month in our numberic dates. Ie in the UK today's 01/04/2004 whereas in the US it's 04/01/2004.
Excel is pretty good when used as a front-end for SQL Server, but other than that I agree with you full.
At my last job one of the end-users had created a spreadsheet so complex and full of formulae etc that we had to upgrade PCs so they could use it at an acceptible speed. Not to mention that one person would delete a formula and it'd all fall to pieces. No, I don't miss that at all...

I wish he'd called them 'Fry Holes'.
You're failing to see the potential in making a joke about Darl McBride being rammed from behind repeatedly, with a huge metal object.
guess someone forgot to tell him to brush his teeth

Well it is in England...
And I'm English before anyone gets upset
I don't know, that's gratitude for you. It could be sabotage, but I'm sure it'll be alive again soon. Let's hope they get it together.
Khuhuhuhuhuh.

I just invited my brother to gmail by sending it to a Yahoo address and it worked fine.

So...you didn't read the agreement, it came back to bite you, and this is just because Microsoft is evil?
Imagine if they left all the idle accounts alone and just let them accumulate SPAM or whatever. That's hardly good system policy.
However evil Microsoft may or may not be, you cannot really use them as an answer to your own ignorance.

If you make a reference to Guybrush Threepwood in your comment I always mod it up. Go Monkey Island!
But if I reference Monkey Island...and Monkey Island reference Star Wars...then...erm now my head hurts.

Don't be silly, we have machines to do that.

Soon, copied films will be as rare as students lighting up a joint after their exams.
Really? That prevalent? The rest of the article makes it sound like it's going to become quite rare.

Which is actually a valid gripe...

Isn't that what got you into this situation in the first place?

I can imagine the issues they were having:
