I don't know how I hadn't seen this for so long, but I'm currently laughing my ass of at Hot Chicks With Douchebags. I recommend you get your douche on immediately. Not literally, maybe.

Yay! Fedora have packaged version 2.10.4 of lm_sensors, so I can (with the aid of a 2.6.22 series kernel) now see the CPU temperatures on my Mac Mini. On to some testing...
Loading each core with cpuburn-in, the temp on core 0 gets up to 80°C (that's 176°F, for those still in the dark ages) after a minute or so.
That's pretty hot.
The system fan (the only fan in the box) goes from a very leisurely 1500rpm to an almost as leisurely 2000rpm during this time, and the temp on core 0 stabilises at pretty much exactly 80°C. Core 1 only ever gets up to 65°C (149°F), though. Removing the load causes the temps to drop very fast.
I've updated the kernel .config for 2.6.22(.1) in case anyone's interested.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

After investigation, Verizon Online Security has determined that e-mail from your IP address will not be allowed access to the Verizon Online e-mail domain due to one or more of the below reasons:

Your IP has been blocked because of spam issues or because your ISP indicates that it is dynamically assigned

 

Once you have addressed any security-related issues on your network, you should contact Verizon Online Security via this form. At that time, we will work with you to restore normal e-mail traffic or to take other action as we deem appropriate.

Sincerely,

OK, there are no spam issues (everything sent out of the mail server is logged), my IP address isn't dynamic, and where exactly is this form of which you speak? Verizon: Rubbish at the Internet

I've aquired some more insults today too. From an American lawyer, no less. Amongst general animosity, I have been specifically called:
- ignorant (yet again)
- closed-minded
- dangerous walking about unsupervised by a nanny
- brain dead
- unreasonable
I was also compared to a savage at one point, and invited to 'have a lovely snide little existence'.
All because he'd bought one of these, and I said it was crap.
