Just have something to hold your laptop at an angle so that the bottom surface isn't all touching the desk.

this seems a sensible solution. *begins mac gyvering*

final solution:
four wooden blocks (old legos of my grandfather!)
at four sides.
PERFECT.
now i'll have to test run it.

Based on my experience, most heat problems on laptops are caused by dust and can be easily fixed with compressed air.

in my case it could be ant corpses...

compressed air of what sort though?
blow on the vents?

Blowing seems like a really bad idea. Perhaps making your vacuum cleaner become close friends with your laptop will work?

Yeah, any compressed air source that's suitable to use on computers, blow in the ventilation holes until dust stops coming out. I used to work in a computer shop for a short time as a part of my education, and there I learned it can lower the temperature more than twenty celsius while making the laptop more silent.

THIS IS FUCKING EPIC!!!!
Hehe, you just got caught up in three quests simultaneously.

...

...

...

Fuck me backwards, three quests at the same time? I MUST INVESTIGATE THIS...
Truth be told, its four quests. The Drinking Game that got me there is a Questline too, gotta fix a staff...

I do hope that it's actually running cooler, and not that the fan isn't running as fast as it's supposed to. What's the temperature of your cards?

...Oh, right, you got another quest as you're cleaning up the temple. So you're right, that's 4.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Even worse idea, unless you're using a long hose.

Vacuums emit HUGE pulses of electromagnetism, which are VERY VERY bad for hard drives and the like.

I found a similar kid west of Riften, with his mother in a log-cutting camp. He also asked for invisibility.

What is it with the children and their want to be invisible. Seriously.

To be fair, there are benefits to not being seen.

BTW, there are more quests in Markarth in the Jarl's keep.

Also if you go back inside you can never get out again ever.
