I never said that copyright infringement or copying and publishing personal data is OK morally or legally. I just said that they are different crimes.
Yes but they would not charge you with theft. Which includes "the intention to permanently deprive"...
Copying someone's private data is not theft. That doesn't mean that it is morally or legally OK (it's not - it's another crime). It just means that theft is a specific crime based on taking fungible chattel with the intent to not give it back.
That doesn't mean that it is right. Piracy is still wrong even though it is not stealing.
And the GP seems morally confused. Sharing FLOSS software is very very different morally to pirating games.
One point in favour of UBI is that it could replace all of these individual benefits.
(1) Write your new endpoint. (2) Proxy to it via your old one.
Or for a full re-write you might want to do things the other way.
(1) Wrap the whole old app with a skeleton of the new one - just proxying the endpoints for now. (2) Start replacing the endpoints.
OK we agree on the basics - that consciousness is not due to some mystical external factor but that it is contained within a brain.
However, your description of consciousness is a particular combination of electrical fields (NB that those chemicals are acting by changing how electricity is transmitted)...
By effectively you mean steadily declining sales as people return to printed books.
If Firefox provides the correct API's we might have the power of vimperiator back. Off the top of my head it needs:
1. A way to load config from the filesystem so I can keep its config with my other dotfiles
2. To be able to work on about:addons etc
3. To work in reader mode
4. Vim keybindings in textareas/inputs (although for modularity this could be a separate addon).
5. A way to open textareas etc in an editor - again for modularity this could be a separate addon.
6. Be able to open file://
7. A way to focus on the page content (away from e.g. url bar) - this could be a FF level hotkey though.
EDITED - I'm adding things as they come up.
Are you certain? Maybe they have an internal promotion but company policy/legal compliance forces them to advertise the role publicly?
> On another page, the UK Mobile network '3' is offering 12Gb for the price of 4Gb. I know that's true because I took them up on it (and even for 4Gb it's still cheaper than any other network).
How long for? Is this one of those contracts where it is 3 for 1 for a year then double price next year...
NB I'm absolutely not accusing either of these specific companies of being dishonest.
What are the rules on launches?
