I found it amusing.
TRWTF is that they don't even bother explaining what the key is, why it got set in the first place, or what changing it may do (besides make your computer work again).
Micro$osft definitely has a monopoly on PFM.

....Will it power off in time....
I'm pretty sure all motherboards have built in killswitches to keep processors from overheating nowadays. I've built many AMD computers, and none of them have ever fried a processor. Although I've noticed on my Phenom that the stock cooling fan isn't screwed into the heatsink, it's held on by plastic brackets. This makes for some serious vibration if the fan starts going full blast, but I've only had that happen once.

I get 27 days. Seriously, isn't max 10 days off per year illegal or something? Or do you live in China?
And I thought 10 year feds had it good with their whopping 26 days per year. What are immigration laws like there?

TRWTF is the flash webpage that does exactly what a normal html (but simpler) could do. And that if you want to change the country you get a map that doesn't do anything in spite of the fact that it's a flash thingie.
Creating flashy yet uncomfortably clunky interfaces for things that really don't need them is exactly what EA does for a living. It's all you can expect from a company that has spent 20+ years riding the coattails of John Madden.

Pointing out irony is an ad hominem! You lose the debate, BeenThere!You have me confused with someone here to discuss/debate/contribute to this thread.
I just showed up to play peanut gallery and drink beer.
Haha, I like this one. The force is strong with him. Could I trouble you for one of those beers?

I would argue they have everything to do with the OP. A little background into someone before wasting your time arguing with them is always helpful.
Who was arguing? Oh, that's right, no one. The thread was going well until you showed up and turned it into a flamewar.

That would be the best debate team ever.
Moderator: Today we'll be debating the effect of the World Bank on developing countries.
Opposing Team Member: The World Bank is just a scheme by the richest nations to keep the poorest in their debt.
MPS: Whatever. You've been following me around to every debate. Grow up.
Opposing Team Member: Uh, and the terms of the loans are...
morbiuswilters: PENIS!
MPS: You guys are just trolling now. I won this debate yesterday, let it die.NOTE: Don't criticize my choice of debate topic, it's just the first thing that I remembered from being in Model UN (possibly TRWTF).
EPIC! You have captured the essence of the dynamic duo perfectly.

A community of crybabies who think "ad hominem" is a fancy way of saying "an insult".

without providing a shred of support for those claims
Interesting. Calling you and MPS out on your supposed mastery of this forum by sheer volume of pseudo-intelligent trolling constitutes being a crybaby. Also, "insult" is probably the simplest way you could break down the real meaning of ad hominem. Ad hominem itself being latin for "to the man/human being." What about that phrase don't you understand?
Let me break this down for you. Just because you have been here longer than most, and have posted way too much, does not make you some sort of authority figure. Don't piss your pants because you think you should be the moderator and Casadevall shouldn't. Who gives a shit? I know I don't. This is an internet forum, on a site about making fun of stupid things that people do. That's all it is. I use it as a distraction while I'm at work. You treat this place like it's your life, and the sheer length and depth of that post clearly demonstrates that you desperately need to get a real life, one with some interaction with real people. I suppose you wouldn't like that, though, would you? That would remove your internet filter that allows you to so easily belittle others and assert what you think is some sort of authority over them.
