Reason to include temp ranges in Q&A

New page

For Section 6.1, the question states "My phone gets really hot during heavy use. At what temperatures should I start to worry?"
I initially put the temperatures at which (I think) Govnuh changes colors. I understand that this might me somewhat of a liability; we wouldn't want people complaining when their phones overheat within a temperature range that the wiki said should be safe. However, (and this goes for all modern gui designs) we should be redundant in the information we provide. Color indicators are not enough because they exclude the significant portion of the population that is red-green colorblind. At the very least, we should provide the ranges that Govnuh uses with the warning (again) that the phone may overheat below our designated "safe" range.
