How negatively would these temperatures affect the lifespan of the hardware?
These temperatures are high, but not necessarily "out-of-spec" for the respective components. Furthermore, since the max temperatures reported here will not be reached during gaming or most real-world scenarios, it will be rare to see temps get that high during consumer use.
The issue would mostly just be discomfort and/or noise levels during heavy workloads or gaming, not anything damaging to the notebook :)

They stole one of my memory sticks, and are refusing to send it to me.
They are claiming that if a person installs a stick of memory that they void the warranty.
Trying to talk to them is like talking to a bunch of idiots.
