Incorrect. Milgram's experiment demonstrated that people, when confronted with a decision to which they have no experience, will defer to authority.

Your idea lies more along that people are sadistic (which they very may be) and will willingly and spontaneously inflict potenital harm on someone. But this wasn't proven by Milgram. Try Zimbardo at Stanford.
There are subtleties to Milgram's experiment that escape many people.
A lot of people cheered when the complex attunement quests were removed, opening up SSC, TK, Hyjal and Black Temple to anyone with a level 70 toon. Along with this, Blizzard introduced a lot of new badge reward gear that is almost equivalent to Tier6. This is a HUGE slap in the face to raiders. Badges are insanely easy to get, and for a little effort you too can walk around in T6. The attunement quests were a gear and skill check for raiding guild to see if they were capable of handling the upcoming content. The path to the Black Temple was a very long one, requiring killing Vashj (one of the hardest bosses in the game), and Kael'thas (one of the most technical fights in the game). This also meant having to do full clears of SSC and TK. But not anymore. Just badge up and waltz into BT, sail through the easy bosses and say hello to Illidan!
By opening up the game to more casual play, Blizzard has really devalued the amount of effort that the more serious players have put into the game. There is little to no difference between a raider who has worked his way up through the 25-man raids and earned his T6, and someone who has just done lolheroics all day long.
A company I worked for just bought the entire 5th floor of a new building, although we only occupied half of it. When we moved in, the management insisted that we put all our servers in the "server room". Everyone knew it was the "server room" because it had a picture of a computer on a plate on the outside of the door.
The room was somewhat adequate space-wise although the shape of the room really made it interesting to get anything installed. What really got me were the wet pipe fire sprinklers. When I mentioned that water + expensive servers = BAD, their solution was to hang plastic sheeting between the servers and sprinklers.
Poor analogy, and it's incomplete. Planning an Exchange installation doesn't require $19 billion nor does it require an army of PhDs.
Dunno what companies you've worked for, but I've never worked for one where the C-level execs did any of the network design or capacity planning. Most of the ones I've worked for realize the importance of corporate email and make sure that they can get the funding we've asked for after we did all the design work.
Exchange administration and planning isn't rocket science. If you're running into capacity problems, then maybe you should fire your planning team. Small mailboxes is a control implemented by a company to make sure that the resources allocated for mail are appropriate. I have several Terabytes of SAN space for my user's home directories, and we still implement quotas. Is this a fault of Microsoft also? It certainly makes it harder for our users to try to store their collection of MP3s on our network.
Learn to read, submitter. The "piffling 50-MB limit" is a corporate policy. Exchange has supported multigigabyte mailboxes for a long time. MS is trying to get companies to limit mailbox quotas to prevent users from bypassing corporate policy and forward mail to Gmail.
Do I believe that natural selection should be taught in school? YES I DO!!! It is a proven fact
Bzzzt. Wrong. Evolution is a theory, just like Einstein's theories of relativity, Pythagoras' Theorem, and Maxwell's Theory of Electromagnetism. There are no "scientific facts", just theories. A Theory attempts to explain a natural phenomenon. A theory becomes more accepted through repeated experimentation and observation. But if an experiment yields a result other than what the theory predicts (and the experiment was done properly), then the theory must be discarded in favor of the new evidence.
A Theory can never really be proven because the next experiment may yield a result other than what the theory predicts. A lot of people, especially Creationists, get hung up on "theory" and "fact". Creationists will assert that Evolution is just a theory- it is, and thank you for reiterating that. They also insist that their belief is Fact, which is where science and religion begin to diverge.
UN sells in.1uCi amount, and according to our beloved Wikipedia, the lethal dose for INGESTED is.03uCi (assuming that 3 people in Chicago mistake Osama's gift cards for deep dish pizza and he has a very very fine razor blade to cut the sample into three parts). More people would probably die from the aforementioned deep dish pizza.
Read the documentation instead of just reading the salacious headline. Son admitted that the computer was in his possession at the time in question. RIAA has been trying to serve him with paperwork and he's been playing fuckaround fuckaround dodging the process server and his family is helping him.
Read what is going on before commenting blindly. I'm probably one of the last to defend *AA but everyone is screaming bloody murder without reading the documentation.
His employer was called because: 1) Son is actively trying to avoid being served with legal documents. RIAA attempts to serve him at his place of business (standard practice) 2) Employer got himself involved in the case. Specifically, he left instructions on how to handle the legal paperwork trying to be served, plus went into discussions on obtaining a court order to protect his company's documents.
You're forgetting the fact that Mars does not have a robust magnetic field like Earth, nor does it have a thick atmosphere. This means that our poor astronaut will be exposed to rather high doses of UV, solar radiation and cosmic rays. Not enough to kill instantly, but exposure over time will have a dramatic cumulative effect.
Wow. This is possibly the most self-righteous tirade on self-entitlement I've seen in a long time. If I worked for Blizzard and saw this, I'd personally make sure to never release a Linux client just to spite you.
This is exactly why I don't give my college my SSN. Data theft from schools is becoming way too common for me to be comfortable. Colleges don't need your SSN, they use it as a convienent way to generate your StudentID. Most colleges accept out-of-country students, who don't have SSNs, and have a system for generating StudentID numbers for them. My college gives me the option to use either my SSN or have a number generated for me, you can guess which one I chose.
Seriously. Nobody but your bank and employer need your SSN, and it's not supposed to be used for non-Social Security identification purposes anyway. Why people insist on using it as such, and why people still freely give it away just boggles my mind.
It's a bit of a change from a real guitar. There are 5 "fret" buttons. A lever type control that you strum. A whammy bar that will bend notes, but it's only useful when you hit "star power" notes. As the fret buttons are laid out in a single row, everything is lateral. On a real guitar, you also move vertically. Chords are a bit easier to play on a real guitar, they mind my mind reel when playing them on the GH controller because that kind of fretting wouldn't work in real life.
One of the first songs I ever learned how to play was Iron Man, and I can tell you the first time I played it on GH, the score sucked. I kept trying to fret 5th power chords, and play the actual riffs rather than follow the screen. It took a while to decouple real playing from GH playing.
The only thing I don't like is how they want you to use the whammy. The encourage wanking on the whammy rather than more controlled use of it.
I'm a bass and rhythm guitar player, and I enjoy the hell out of playing Guitar Hero. Is it the same as playing live in front of a real audience? No. But it's a fun game. I have my little SG sitting right next to my Carvin and my Ibanez downstairs. I've played guitar for years, but playing Guitar Hero is definitely a challenge... The riffs to Iron Man were some of the first things I learned, but playing it on Guitar Hero is a definite challenge because it's played so differently. I actually look forward to playing GH2 because now I will be able to play bass as well.
If BOTH political parties spent a fraction of the time they spend cooking up dirty tricks, and actually used that time to do the jobs they were elected to do, we'd probably have solved a great many of this country's problems.
I'm saddened that politicos still find a way to shock me, even after all these years. Why is it that its always The People that wind up being abused to further one person's agenda? I suppose someone will make a comment that it's just indicative of just how desperate the Republicans are, but they've stooped to such low tactics before.

Guess they shouldn't be giving the software away, eh?
They used printers to look at pr0n? They're better hax0rz than I am.
I think I lost some IQ points reading this. I'm going to go off and install Win95 now.

Yeah, that's why I said "3 people". I dropped the fraction.
How?
.1uCi amount, and according to our beloved Wikipedia, the lethal dose for INGESTED is .03uCi (assuming that 3 people in Chicago mistake Osama's gift cards for deep dish pizza and he has a very very fine razor blade to cut the sample into three parts).

5 buttons and the whammy is for pulling extra Star Power out of starred notes.

Tell that to the Ramones.
I'd venture a guess and say that their devotion on power chords is doing them quite well. If you want virtuosity, please move on to Dream Theater.
To each his own I guess.
