The next day, everyone who saw it is blind. And suddenly--walking, intelligent, deadly plants.

Presumably you have insurance? If so, this little stunt could cost you your claim...

Insurance policies have a clause in it re: subrogation. E.g. If Dell is really at fault--the insurance company will pay you directly, and then go after Dell for the money..

BUT your policy also has a clause in it saying that you must not do anything to obstruct the insurance company's ability to subrogate. This little slashdot stunt and posting your story online may just do that.. You may have fscked yourself twice over.
