Up to a year, according to [1]. A staff member on their forum said similar, [2] "We're probably going to stick with 1 year shelf life when kept in cool dark place, thought it'll likely be much longer in actuality."

On Tuesday, mobile security researchers will demonstrate a simple attack that exploits a vulnerability in the code within apps that run on Apple’s iOS operating system.

Codeine isn't OTC in the US, even when mixed with acetaminophen. Though, from what I understand, a pharmacist technically has the ability to dispense codeine-containing cough syrup without prescription.

Also, Hydrocodone (derived from codeine) is a Schedule 2 drug in the US. But, when combined with another substance (most often with acetaminophen, like Percocet) the drug is reduced to Schedule 3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocodone

As far as addicts misusing OTC codeine/acetaminophen, it's apparently pretty easy to filter most of the adulterant in a basic kitchen.

Had fun playing with it. Trying to play http://i.imgur.com/ArXK5rW.png didn't go so well, it exited after one or two notes.

> What you say simply isn't true.

What did I say that isn't true? Negative T&C gave me pause about trying Code School. This turned me off forever.

> The Free Weekend is offered to all users (past or present) as long as they don't currently have a subscription to Code School.

This is the only statement I see that differs from my interpretation of the T&C. The line in question, "Free Weekend is not available for current or past subscribers and is intended to allow new Code School users to sample the benefits of a Code School education."

How common is it for a current or past user to not have a disqualifying subscription? The wording makes it clear (intentionally or not) that the promo is for new users.

> Is that really unreasonable?

I didn't say it was unreasonable, but that the T&C as a whole appeared to me as overly negative for what they protect, 2 days of free content valued at $25.

I was mildly interested until I read the T&C at the bottom. Not being available to current or past users, agreeing to learn more about New Relic, and explicitly stating no time extensions being possible came across as overly negative for 2 days of free access.

In Portugal, the panel that oversees non-criminal drug cases doesn't have the ability to mandate treatment. From Richard Branson's blog post, "Under Portugal’s new regime, people found guilty of possessing small amounts of drugs are sent to a panel consisting of a psychologist, social worker, and legal adviser for appropriate treatment (which may be refused without criminal punishment), instead of jail." The Wikipedia article has some more information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_policy_of_Portugal#Regulat...

Right, we agree on that. However, for the reasons I explained above, it's not because of regulations on the dollar.

How so? The drug dealers are converting Tide back to dollars, and a significant portion of their business is still done with paper currency.

The drug user is who acquires the Tide, and then barters it for drugs. As other have pointed out, shoplifting Tide carries less risk than burglary, armed robbery, prostitution, etc.

If anything I think this speaks to the resourcefulness of drug users, and/or, the effectiveness of black markets.

The AP article says only that it was a .223 rifle. This [1] is also a .223 rifle.

That's listed in the FAQ [1], but not the Terms of Service [2]. Also, the project guidelines shown to people starting a new project don't mention reward fulfillment [3].

That question in the FAQ is new. It wasn't present when this project was funded [4].

Does any of this make a difference? Legally?

Is it really a drive-by installation if you have to manually enable side-loading, and then agree to download and install the infected apk?

The more paid users there are, the more money Google makes. I'm not seeing your point. Unless a single free user is worth more than $50 yearly, paid users are worth more.

Undoubtedly. However, unless the average free user's eyeballs are worth more than ~$50/yr, any given paid user is more valuable than an identical free user.

If I had two groups of users, one that paid for my products and one that didn't, I would move mountains to make sure that paid users weren't excluded from new features. Why does Google continually give free users first access?

You're right. I meant to include Visa's complaint form, https://usa.visa.com/checkoutfees/contact.jsp which mentions the right for US retailers to set minimums up to $10.

It is worth noting minimums can not be set for debit card transactions.

In the US charging a minimum for card transactions is usually a violation of your contract with Visa/Mastercard, and possibly a violation of the law in 10 states [1]. Are there similar contracts or laws in France?

Dotcom's past crimes are not relevant. His past actions, or inactions, have no bearing on the crimes he is now being accused of.

The judge in the extradition case said in May that Dotcom should have access to the FBI's information. Unless/until a court says otherwise, the FBI will need to hand over what they've got. Can a 44 page document accurately summarize 22 million emails? I doubt it.

"It is difficult to say whether Apple’s position with developers will remain strong if Android continues to gobble market share. But various surveys have tried to gauge which smartphones developers plan to write apps for in the near future, and the iPhone often scores very high."

I don't know what surveys the authors are referring to, as they don't list sources, but I doubt multiple surveys are needed to deduce mobile developers are interested in the iPhone.

Adding to the problem, I think, is Kickstarter's TOS that absolves them of anything a funded project does after receiving funding. As well as not asking project creators to state what will be done with the money in the event the project fails to deliver.

Look at the ZionEyez kickstarter ($343,415 pledged, $55,000 goal, July 31, 2011), for instance. I'm not a backer, and I've only read the comments, but it seems the project isn't going so well. In the comments, backers talk about Kickstarter not being helpful in resolving issues. Backers are talking about class actions, FTC complaints, and small claims courts to resolve their problems.

If ZionEyez is 100% legitimate, and they deliver the product as promised, they've still shown countless others how easy fraud could be.

Kaspersky confirmed the number. https://www.securelist.com/en/blog/208193441/Flashfake_Mac_O...

He'd laugh all the way to being millions of dollars richer. Kickstarter has no provisions for refunds when a funded project fails its goal.

> Do you want the US representative to some trade organization selling the country out, because he doesn't want someone to find out that did something stupid in his 20s?

No, I'd much rather they do it for a fist-full of money.
