Non transferable. Seems pretty clear what that means. However, to all the whiny types out there who don't have a credit card, there's an easy answer, which is similar to online buying - you have owner details and billing details, which can be different.
Promoters who are working to discourage scalping deserve our active encouragement, given its prevalence.
Well, a significant portion of these "pirates" are supposedly people/groups that have no idea that they are breaking any rules.
If they have no idea that they're running a pirated copy of Windows then how would they know they should consider this offer by MS? When they go to the Microsoft site to get the latest SP/whatever, and the cute software there tells you that it is a bogus copy?
So ISPs should not log ip addresses too? Let's not make this a boring argument about logging MACs, or account details, the argument obviously tends towards record companies and law enforcement not being able to request a log if it doesn't exist.
Pressure your representatives to vote down bills that contain extra laws that are not relevant to the title of the bill. If a bill is worth passing, it should do so on its own merit.
And leave the door wide open for a perfect frame job. Your DNA was on the knife handle, you're guilty. No matter that it was placed there by the real murderer.
The real issue here is kids don't want math and science and the parents/teachers have slowly watered the curriculum down where students can graduate with under par science and math skills. But to some degree, these skills are needed by every human being.
How many times have you been in a store, paid $5 for a $4.95 item and the clerk has to find the right button or look at the tape to see what the change should be? Too many times. For extra fun, try this: Buy something that costs $5.43 (example) get $10 note out, wait for them to enter $10 as tendered, then get a 50 cent coin out, and tender 10.50. See how long it takes for them to give you 5.05 (rounding[1]) This would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
But this isn't even math. It's basic arithmetic. If you can't work out the change within a second in your head, your school failed you, somewhere between year 1 to 4.

Are you saying Kevlar body armor is currently illegal, or that it (as well as mirrored glasses) will become illegal? Most places, body armor is legal. Well, unless you're a felon. But most people can buy Kevlar body armor most places. Are you by chance Australian? By chance, no, by birth, yes:)
Ok, didn't realise prohibition of body armor was an Aussie preversion. My bad.
Newspapers are general-purpose publications, written for the widest audience possible. It's hard enough for them to sell ads these days without having to have specialized sections for the tech reader.
Written for the dumbest reader, with the attention-span of a goldfish[1] you mean.
And being a legitimate advertiser is a lot like being a high-class escort. The business you're engaged in, as legitimate as it may be in the way you practice it, is a paid service tainted by the dangerous majority of its practicioners. You cannot reasonably talk about how "advertisers don't do this" any more than you can say "escorts are safe" without qualifying your statement, restricting it to what seem to the be the clear majority of the professionals we see out here cluttering up the sidewalks and molesting us as we try to get home.
Mmm. Condoms for data. Although, when you think about it, their normal use is to contain 'data'
I think the parent is saying it isn't theft, but a moral issue akin to getting the wrong change from a checkout operator. Your morals may make you give the money back, (mine do) but it isn't theft.
Be careful what you wish for - you haven't experienced Qantas' crap domestic service in Australia. Virgin Blue leave them for dead. Ontime departures particularly.
Getting to that realisation myself. Probably play til another expansion comes out - don't thing I can be bothered going thru "look, all the time you spent getting the purples is now obsolete, you now need to gather nnn's instead of primal whatsits[1] to make the latest purples"
[1] before it was, what, arcanite, core leather, etc
Discriminate: marked by the ability to see or make fine distinctions; "discriminate judgments"; "discriminate people"
So, discrimination as such is not a bad thing. It's the grounds you use to discriminate that are. Sex, race, etc. IANAL, but it probably is not illegal to discriminate on the basis of a educational institution's policies.

"Beasley waffled" - a tautology, if I ever heard one.

And is worth every cent of it.

What a waste! Do it on a real account, not AC.

Like Kevlar body armor, mirror glasses will become illegal, except for police/militia.
Is this the beginning of the end for patent leather?
Greed looks safe enough. Add anchovies and chilli though

Two? big-endian, little-endian, middle-endian... Not a popular one, but it has been used, eg PDP-11
GoogleMaps StreetView. Might as well make a profit.
What kind of criminal? A kiwi :)
