It's not the 80s til we have this!

Decided to replace my HQ Gonzo wallpaper last week with this. Puppets rule.

Well, then there's the detail that this was in fact not a correlational study, by his definition, but rather one that satisfies all requirements for causal inference.

You might do yourself a favor by learning a little bit about research prior to deciding whether or not to even read the article. Don't make the mistake of equating what you call a 'correlation study' with one that is non-experimental. A correlation is a statistical procedure that quantifies the...

If the PC completely died as a platform and/or the end of meaningful single-player games. I hate playing with other people, even in MMOs.

Bring plenty of water and use it. Dehydration at a festival sucks. Bring your own food as well. Chances are they'll charge and arm and a leg for something to eat. Make sure you have enough money on hand to get any shirts or hats you want plus enough to make it home should something go wrong...

Voted for Counter-Strike, as that's the first fps I ever played online back in sixth grade. My favorite of all time, though, is actually probably Team Fortress 1. Can't go wrong with a level called Turkeyburgers.

+1 to Jurassic Park I'm 23 and still have nightmares about those stupid dinosaurs.

Amen to that. Fleeing North is pretty much my plan for every type of apocalypse. Except for maybe the impending snowman or Eskimo ones.

That sucks man. My copy has a scratch such that I cannot load a save that is within sight of the big crater in disc 3. Of course, I learned it by having it happen on my only save within ten hours of that spot.

Beyond that, there is an interesting aspect of these types of cases. With typical criminal law, the burden of proof lies on the prosecution: they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that an individual committed a crime. In sexual harassment types of cases, the burden of proof lies on the...

Superman is an illegal alien anyhow so he could never make it as an American hero. My two suggestions would have to be Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Jefferson. I know, King is very much overused and such, but the Civil Rights movement was something of a bit deal. I would add someone from...

The longer it stays around, the less I think WoW can ever really be 'defeated' in the MMO realm. Who knows, maybe they'll get so big that they'll branch out into other industries and we can all rent our apartments from Blizzard in the future. I would live in a Firebat themed slum any day. As...

There've been numerous cases in the past where persons did not complain to anybody in HR or otherwise and still won. The current trend for a long time now has been toward making companies more and more responsible for this sort of thing.

Given the limited amount of information presented in the article, of course Starbucks is responsible. When a company promotes somebody to any sort of leadership/management position, they are responsible for that person's action on the job. Legally, there are ways to limit the degree to which the...
