For your next mission, I want you to collect 12 pictures of supermarkets, 14 mysterious hats and a lost 'spys briefcase'..
Intel gathering MMO? Really?
I would assume they call the police and have you removed from their premises
Maybe, but terrifying sure is. Victims of stalking find that they are incapable of doing day-to-day things. The lady had a legitimate fear, she told her friends, then she later was ridiculed for those fears. This is all the fault of Toyota.
I for one hope that she wins the whole $10 million. Maybe only that way will dumb-ass marketers start *thinking* about what they do!
How is terrifying worth $10 million? Even if she is too scared to work a single day for the rest of her life, she wouldn't have lost that much money. Or even half of it.
If she's around 30 years old (with around 35 years left to work) and earns about $6k a month (sounds reasonable to me, I have no idea how much you make in the US), that equals around $2.5 million. No way in hell is whatever terror she suffered during those two months worth three times the wage she's going to earn for the rest of her life.
I've never understood how the "damages" you can sue for in the US doesn't have to reflect the real damages you suffer in any way.
It's been commonly done since the early 24th century.

Being called a "homosexual" is "abuse"?
Yes it is. If the person calling him a homosexual means it in an abusive way.
Just like being called a coward, even if he is a coward. Or when you call an idiot, an idiot. It's still abuse.
Why would the pointlessly ruin a 1959 Belair? It's not like they make those anymore.
Why would they pointlessly ruin a 2009 Malibu? In 3 months, it's not like they make those anymore.
Or vice versa
On the list of things I was worried about 5 or 10 years ago, it's near the bottom.
I like my to keep my issues on-top of the list.
Polar bears don't eat penguins. Presumably because penguins live at the south pole and polar bears live at the north pole.
I just opened that site in Both IE8 and Firefox on my laptop.
The animations are exactly the same and the performance is the same.
The only difference is a minor difference in the fonts displayed, but that's just standard browser difference.
How can they possibly justify forcing me to reset all my settings in all applications, for no other reason than excluding their browser from the OS?
It doesn't make any sense that installing Windows without IE is that much different than doing it with IE as part of the package; why does it change all sorts of unrelated settings?
At least I'm glad I don't have to pay for Windows 7 (no I'm not pirating it, I'm getting it legally from MSDNAA).
I don't even use IE for crying out loud...
Someone should mod this guy up.
It's very easy for all of us armchair doctors to make a hindsight diagnosis of the illness.
She most likely visited a number of skilled professionals but was very unfortunate with their diagnosis. This stuff happens now and then, people make mistakes.
It's just unfortunate that no one cares about a story on doctors who diagnose their patients correctly.
Every time an email has been "lost" for me, it has been a user error (or mail filter problem).
Either the address was wrong, the intended recipient wasn't on the mailing list, the spam filter caught the message, other filtering obstructed the email, or the recipient accidentally deleted the mail. And sometimes the sender forgot to send the mail (i.e. it is still in the outbox) or the mail server had a problem of which the sender was informed but he/she ignored it.
I don't believe I have ever experienced an email that simply vanished.
Why are they blocking online poker/betting sites as well? How can that possibly be legal?
I saw fulltiltpoker in that list and afaik it's a perfectly legit poker service.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
