> 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.

> 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.

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.
