Would u Hit it?

Taken from Kotaku:

That button may look like a joke, an elaborate piece of stock art, or something out of Ghostbusters, but it's not. It's the emergency shutdown button located in a Microsoft server facility in Quincy, Washington.

There's a fascinating article over on the NY Times' website about server warehouses, with the author taking a trip to a Microsoft complex in Tukwila, Washington that is "one of the global homes of Microsoft's Xbox Live". While the above picture is from a different, nearby facility (in Quincy), they'd surely be the same all over.

One push and a million angry nerds cry out in terror, then are suddenly silenced.

Course, it'd take more than one shutdown to bring the whole network down - after all, there's a global network of servers running the thing - but it'd surely make a dent in a lot of people's evenings.

Me, I'd have to hit it, if only once. Just so I could say "When the light is green, the trap is clean".

I'd probably push it thinking it was a joke or something.

with a crowbar?

I probably couldn't bring myself to actually push it. I'm not very good at doing things that signs tell me not to do. I'm always afraid that the minute I do it somebody's going to be standing behind me to arrest me or something.

I would get close to get a good look at it, then laugh and walk away... easy as that.

*pushes button* fuck there goes fakku

i will push and run

I would push it. XD

I would rip that shit off the fuckin wall.

I won't push it at all. There's no incentive for me. XP

im torn.

dont push it:

im choosing the latter.

I suppose i wouldn't hit it

I would plow it.

I'd look for one marked "Format mainframe hard drive".
"Initiate nuclear missile lunch sequence" would work as well but I'm sure Microsoft hid those somewhere else.
