and "take" can mean "to secure for use" meaning the "taker" can now use the thing being "taken" regardless of if it is copied or not. Again, that is the dictionary definition.
How is it three hoops? I could have just left it at the first definition of "thief".
Again, I am referring up the dictionary definition of "thief", you're referring to the legal one, they are both valid given their appropriate context.
Steal:
to take (something that does not belong to you) in a way that is wrong or illegal
to take (something that you are not supposed to have) without asking for permission
to wrongly take and use (another person's idea, words, etc.)
A site full of self-entitled brats that block everything remotely close to an advertisement and are against any kind of subscription can't find a way to even cover maintenance costs? This is what all websites will face eventually.
I've concluded that abolishing parents is the only way to truly solve the problem.
Then you'd be back to trade secrets, or possibly {big evil corp} stealing {little guy}'s idea and profiting off it before {little guy} could. The point of patents was to promote sharing information in exchange for temporary exclusivity. However, over time, Corporations have forgotten about that "temporary" part. That's the part that needs changing
As a lesson from another industry, Ford removed most of the physical knobs and switches from their cars when they first introduced MyFordTouch. Owners freaked out when the touch screen wasn't as responsive as they'd hoped, and some of the switches have come back over time
The issue with MyFordTouch is that drivers couldn't find the buttons without looking away from the road.
I don't quite understand the situation, but I'm guessing it won't exist?
However, Google decided to incorporate VP10 into AOMedia Video 1 (AV1). The AV1 codec will use elements of VP10 as well as the experimental formats Daala (Xiph/Mozilla) and Thor (Cisco).[72][73] Accordingly, Google has stated that they will not deploy VP10 internally or officially release it, making VP9 the last of the VPx-based codecs to be released by Google.[74]

Like another poster, you confuse monetary or economic value with the value of education. These are not the same things and they don't cleanly exchange into each other.
The reason we spend money on a childs education is that education takes time. If you could get the same education in, say, one day via brain implants, it would be smarter to wait it out until you are 18 and can decide by yourself which education you want. But since it takes years, you need to start early because life time is limited.
These are really trivial arguments to follow. Why do I have to spell it out?
Yes the trivial arguements for/against brain implants? I guess I have to spell it out: Which is better, giving someone $X or spending $X on their education?

The automobile didn't actually replace the horse and carriage because so many people nowadays never bought a horse and carriage first.
Because theft is the taking without permission of an object (or certain types of data), denying the original owner it's use.
and that's where we disagree, thank you.
Why though? Why do you feel this doesn't fit the dictionary definition of 'thief'/'theft'?
transfer can mean it is copied
to print or otherwise copy from one surface to another by contact
"transfer" doesn't mean it's not still at the original location
transfer to print or otherwise copy from one surface to another by contact
and "take" can mean "to secure for use" meaning the "taker" can now use the thing being "taken" regardless of if it is copied or not. Again, that is the dictionary definition.
How is it three hoops? I could have just left it at the first definition of "thief".
Again, I am referring up the dictionary definition of "thief", you're referring to the legal one, they are both valid given their appropriate context.
So they're both right?
smooth wombat doing the literal definition of "Thief", stealth_finger the legal definition of "Thief".
It's grammatically correct to call the AC a thief, but not in a court of law?
Thief:
a person who steals something
Steal:
to take (something that does not belong to you) in a way that is wrong or illegal
to take (something that you are not supposed to have) without asking for permission
to wrongly take and use (another person's idea, words, etc.)
Take
to obtain or secure for use
So, yes, I would say "thief" is appropriate.
I'm buying a new Apple this year, either a full blown iMac, or if the wife lets me, a PowerMac
I hope she doesn't let you. PowerMac has been discontinued for over a decade.
The only "solution" will be if every living thing has the same result, so just ignore all values and hardcode the one output.

Not really sure why this was modded down.
Because the explanation didn't consist of any of the following:
Micro$oft
Embrace Extend Extinguish
Data mining
If the current situation is boxes that are rented, and that can be updated remotely. Couldn't they do all that now anyway?
FYI, You can get Chrome, Firefox and Opera for iOS devices as well.
Unless you're talking about Opera Mini, they all use Safari's rendering engine.
I will say that Edge has finally passed Safari.
Safari is the new IE, and the IE Microsoft dreamed of in iOS (want to use another rendering engine? screw you!)

Oh no! A project was cancelled! Surely it's not because it wasn't viable and only because the company is evil!
