(...) I think it's at the very least considered polite to give credit. I'm not sure there's prevailing wisdom, per se. My black hopper, currently available at my brickbay site ( <grin> ), has been reverse engineered in the past. I'm not particularly (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) In kind? No. In degree, yes. At least I think so. I'm not much in the mood for gorilla meat but I've seen chickens perform tricks. Not as elaborate ones, mind you. I guess I'm saying I'm not sure gorillas are sentient. But then, I'm not sure (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Thanks for the feedback. I believe I agree with your comments. And I doubt one could make a legal case at this time, because there are few regulations or laws (that I know of) regarding e-commerce. But this sequence of events is occuring more (...)

However, the original debate was comparing Pokemon (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) How do we define 'sentient?' Is it different to eat a chicken than it would be to eat Koko the sign-language-using gorilla? -- jthompson@esker.com "Float on a river, forever and ever, Emily?" (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) There are two problems here. The first problem is that the ordering system is not properly keyed into inventory, allowing people to order items which are out of stock. The system should show you if the item is out of stock, and then allow you (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) It depends what you're looking for in a storyline. Certainly some of the story is vapid, but as a redemption myth (both Han's and Vader's), the original trilogy overall has real worth. That's why, in itself, TPM is weaker than the original (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
