If history is any indicator? Minimum 2 weeks paid vacation, er, "suspension."
Obviously we all got into the wrong lines of work.

Schools not teaching, graduating kids that never learned to read or write but did learn how to put a condom on a banana (a very useful skill if you are approached by a sexually aggressive banana).....
Carl... tonight... YOU...
No, HandBanana, NO!!!
Couldn't help myself
Send them more money, the unions say it's the only logical approach here in pretend it'll get better world..
Isn't that basically the same idea behind the Mayday PAC? Yea, something tells me it's going to work just as well...
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright flashes of radio waves that last only a few thousandths of a second. Scientists using the Parkes Observatory in Australia have recorded such events for the first time, but the lack of any similar findings by other facilities led to speculation that the Australian instrument might have been picking up signals originating from sources on or near Earth. The discovery at Arecibo is the first detection of a fast radio burst using an instrument other than the Parkes radio telescope. The position of the radio burst is in the direction of the constellation Auriga in the Northern sky.
“Our result is important because it eliminates any doubt that these radio bursts are truly of cosmic origin,” continues Victoria Kaspi, an astrophysics professor at McGill University in Montreal and Principal Investigator for the pulsar-survey project that detected this fast radio burst. “The radio waves show every sign of having come from far outside our galaxy – a really exciting prospect.”
Exactly what may be causing such radio bursts represents a major new enigma for astrophysicists. Possibilities include a range of exotic astrophysical objects, such as evaporating black holes, mergers of neutron stars, or flares from magnetars — a type of neutron star with extremely powerful magnetic fields.
Be warned: All of the above theories could also be wrong. These fast radio flashes could just as easily turn out to be something entirely unpredicted.
Sounds like it's right up M. Night's alley, though, save the fact it's actually a half-decent idea for a film.
makeing so that the car fails or goes into some kind of limited safe mode is successful hack?
Yes, if the goal is just to prove the thing can be hacked.
What if goes into a mode there you need to do a dealer only restore that they will not let anyone do other then the dealer and only after they verify that the owner is there to pick up the car when it is done. and that restore may come with a new $1000+ CPU / ECU with $250+ labor to install it?
OK, first thing - meet your new friend, the comma. Learn to understand one another.
Second, you're moving the goalposts. Stop that.
Third, to restate my point, if the idea is to find a flaw and exploit it, than any result other than "no flaw found/exploited" would be a successful one.
what happens if a failed hack bricks the firmware in a way that the next person / group can't do anything more when it is there trun?
Then it was a successful hack!
Most rational people take the phrase "you can sue..." to mean that you have even a marginal chance of success.
But, to be fair, OP did fail to specify the situations to a precise enough degree that a pedant wouldn't be able to engage in pedantry about meaning.
In other words, while you may be technically correct, nobody likes a pedant.
Gun manufacturers used to get sued, until Congress passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act in 2005.
Personally, I find it a bit mind-blowing that people would actually sue a company for something another person did with their product, rather than a defect. But then, I'm not a litigious jackass looking for my next quick buck.
If you can't figure it out for yourself, there's nothing I can do to help you.
As I and other have already pointed out, we are not blaming her for becoming a victim.
There's an entire thread titled "Why yes, we should blame the victim here", with the root post rated +5 Insightful. Yeah, people are blaming her.
Oh, well, and since we all know that a name is always 100% accurate and tells us everything...
Did you actually read the thread, or just the headline and thought "oh, that must support my position?" Because I read it, and some of them make a very good point regarding the context of this particular situation.
But quick, respond with a No True Slashdotter about how those are fringe elements and marginal and don't represent the views of a large portion of Slashdot.
Nah, I'll leave the strawmen and other forms of fallacious thinking to you, since you're so much better at it than I am.
She should at least sue Al Gore, since he invented the damn thing!
Before someone else jumps on this, the actual quote was "I took the initiative in creating the internet".
So, it's "created", not "invented". Pedants will take one to task for getting that wrong.
Yea, about that...
Can you sue automakers for car crashes not caused by defect?
Yes.
Can you sue gun makers for deaths?
Yes.
Can you sue the financial industry for losses in the market?
Again, Yes.
Citation, citation, citation.
Here, I'll get one for you:
Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act:
The purpose of the act is to prevent firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable for negligence when crimes have been committed with their products. However, both manufacturers and dealers can still be held liable for damages resulting from defective products, breach of contract, criminal misconduct, and other actions for which they are directly responsible in much the same manner that any U.S. based manufacturer of consumer products (i.e. automobiles, appliances, power tools, etc.) are held responsible
One down...
So... why is it the people who upload and host this stuff do not have consequences?
I think that's a legitimate TOR angle, actually. In order to leverage the law you need to know where they physically are. TOR hides that, per design.
There's a case here, folks.
No there isn't.
Balaclavas hide identity, too, but you never see a clothmaker sued when someone robs a bank.
In US law it has long been recognized that private letters between two living people cannot be published without consent.
Consent from one party, or both?
I'd like to see that precedent cited.
