Herd mentality doesn't always have to be bad either. If a source of water is known to be bad Herd mentality can keep the majority from becoming sick by pressuring group members not to drink from it. Or, for a more modern reference, Herd mentality can push the majority of individuals to bath regularly which is a benefit to everyone.
No civil cases require "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." Even an individual multimillion dollar case wouldn't have that kind of requirement. If they did there would certainly be far fewer civil cases. All those tobacco lawsuits would have to have been thrown out because there is no way to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that tobacco caused an individual case of cancer. It would be nearly impossible to hold companies and people accountable with that level of a burden of proof.
That's why I said close. They should get a fair shake out of the small claims side. My interpretation of the parent was that they believed both were likely to be fair.
How do you measure the value. We need Nurses, but just how many of the Folklorists are failing to get jobs? Just because Folklore doesn't directly map to a particular career doesn't mean they don't have skills that are valued by several careers. English majors are unlikely to get a job "doing English" but there are likely quite a few professions that would benefit from the writing skills. The Folklorist might even be able to work well in Archeology, teaching at any level, maybe even as diplomats if they studied a particular cultures folklore.
I agree with you, until the identification information part. If TomTom sends the raw data to anyone it would be trivial to figure out the owner of any particular device. However if they only send compiled data with no individual data at all in it then it works out. Like saying during the time of 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm 1,000 vehicles used road X driving at on average speed Y.
I don't know my PSN password. I tried to log in manually a few times recently and it didn't work. On the upside it's obviously not a password I've used elsewhere.
It really isn't though. If hashed, great, they have a hash of my password. There are many many possible combinations that could map to my password
If they used a bad enough hashing algorithm to make this statement true it still doesn't matter. They system doesn't know your password, only the hash. That means any password that creates the same hash will let the person log in.
Portal would be fun if it had much less story. As it is, the story and humor is brilliant, but not as plot-heavy as something like Half Life or even Call of Duty. Still fun.
Meat Boy or Pac Man have almost zero story, and focus on gameplay.
Minecraft has no story.
Street Fighter has nearly no story.
Bulletstorm has nearly no story, and is intentionally about mastering the combo mechanics.
These things often have SOME story, but in reality the gameplay is not about plot exposition but about mastering the mechanics.
That is part of why I don't play those games, except for Street Fighter. When there isn't a reason to keep playing, ie plot development, I don't keep playing. I get your point there are some games that are just fun without any story, but for me that is the minority.

Indeed.
PCI isn't the Banks its the networks, VISA and Mastercard.
And I was thinking Muslim bubble porn. Or maybe the more risque Mormon bubble porn.

So why are you in favor of this ruling? Most class action suits have juries.
Close. If they took arbitration they would have lost. 96.8% of arbitration goes in favor of the company. http://www.citizen.org/documents/ArbitrationDebateTrap(Final).pdf

Yes. Especially On-Star since the police are able to get them to silently turn on the phone to listen to you while you are driving.

But Ubisoft will.

It isn't as uncommon as it should be.
