The hypocrisy of slashdotters on this one is quite funny. "First they came for the non-IT workers, and we couldn't care less."
Quite true. I expect the RIAA & MPAA to officially open an account on
Now that is funny.
He's a lawyer, a theologian and a chemist.
You would think at least the chemist would realize this is impossible.
You are arguing religion with people that don't even understand they are religious.
Not trying to dissuade you just observing
Oh so your problem with capitalism is that some people do better than you ?
You of course neglect to mention that "Those large blocks of capital" are being put to work in industries creating goods and services and generally improving people's lot.
Thank you. You've just helped further prove my point. That extremely large monetary awards given by juries often get overridden on appeal, or never even get paid in the first place, which makes many of the myths we hear about extremely large judgements very misleading.
Myths ? The defendants have to defend against these ridiculous torts, The awards are enough that there is no discouragement to the lawyers that view them as lottery tickets. The overall expense and damage to the economy is greatly magnified as avoiding law suits becomes a priority.
If she was psychic why didn't she just predict that having the scan would cause her headaches and not have it.
What am I ? A mind reader ?
Well then she needs to sue the La Times for libel

Seeing as they reported that as the case in the initial filing, the initial verdict, and the appeal.
"Katz (the appeals judge) found that the jury, which made the award after less than an hour of deliberation, had disregarded his instructions on the law".
Or it could be you are wrong ?
Getting a judgment is another matter entirely.
Of course with the right lawyer and the right jury

You can get a million dollar award for a MRI destroying your psychic abilities.
"Haimes, 42, contended an allergic reaction to a dye injected during the exam gave her severe, recurring headaches that forced her to give up her practice in New Castle, Del., two months later."
You are disingenuous.
Not so much

I get what you're saying.
My point is that while the UK has better government intervention than what we have here, better than bad is not necessarily good.
In the U.S. case there's several layers of government intervention that created the original mess, and the latest patches aren't addressed at the root of the problem at all.
You really need to compare Britains situation with other countries that have different parameters> Pointing at the NHS and going "SEE" doesn't make the argument. It would be like me pointing at Saudi Arabia and saying SEE islam produces cheap fuel costs.
You are willing to bet your life this is actually a good representation ?
Did I also mention it's an island chain that gets most of it's power from burning oil ? 72% 14% coal and 4% garbage
Be willing to bet that 4% garbage yields truly funky data points.
You will probably be modded down for pointing that out, the same way I was.
Welcome to the future.
