PayPal Denies Teen Reward For Finding Bug

Posted by timothy on from the alice-in-wonderland-rules dept.

itwbennett writes "You have to be 18 to qualify for PayPal's bug bounty program, a minor detail that 17-year old Robert Kugler found out the hard way after being denied a reward for a website bug he reported. Curiously, the age guideline isn't in the terms and conditions posted on the PayPal website. Kugler was informed by email that he was disqualified because of his age."

    Never use 'whom', it is obsolete usage and a sure sign of a pretentious 'cork sniffing asshole' *.

    To extend the analogy the final 'm' in 'whom' is like 'let' in basic or using a complete word in PHP.

    * they show you the cork so you can 'look' at it, maybe squeeze it. The only reason anybody sniffs the cork is they have seen other monkeys sniffing the cork.
