Ah yes, the good old set A, which contains all elements who are members of set A.

No, not really. I said it for the same reason racists might use your example. To demean that group and to prime people who don't identify with that group to look down on the behavior.

It's a loosely defined group only in the sense that some people incorrectly define it as a group.

It's not "in their name". There is no "them" and there is no name.
Re:Attack Is Suspected as North Korean Internet Collapses on Tuesday December 23, 2014 @02:09AM (#8787150)
That quote and the wikipedia article it comes from are both misguided because they still describe Anonymous as a group.
Re:Attack Is Suspected as North Korean Internet Collapses on Monday December 22, 2014 @06:42PM (#8785952)
What is it with old people and their complete inability to understand Anonymous? If you did that, you wouldn't be acting like "them", you would be part of Anonymous.
ayyy lmao

That's science, not math.
Re:Why HTTPS Everywhere isn't on addons.mozilla.org on Tuesday November 25, 2014 @11:32PM (#8661109)
In this situation, addons.mozilla.org is the hypothetical man in the middle so https doesn't protect you.

It's almost as if their priorities aren't the same as yours.

Wanting that is just evidence that chess is no longer a worthwhile game.

I think you missed the whole point of the book. If you were a gamma, you would like being a gamma, and wouldn't want to be an alpha. The only reason you feel the way you do now from the outside is because you are pretentious enough to fancy yourself an alpha.

Trivially easy. If you want to believe it, it's true. If you don't want to believe it, it's false.
Re:The NSA and Me on Thursday October 02, 2014 @07:43PM (#8403725)
If all the facts are on their side, why do you continue to claim it's worse?

Had your father pulled out a second earlier, we might not have had to read your stupid comment.

It's not a quote.
Re:Yes, we’re being bought by Microsoft on Monday September 15, 2014 @07:40PM (#8322226)
That's subjective. An objective fact is that it still exists on non-MS platforms, it's interoperable across platforms, and there hasn't been a "Skype 2" to replace it on MS platforms only. If that same holds true for Minecraft, that allays most of the largest fears people have.
Re:Yes, we’re being bought by Microsoft on Monday September 15, 2014 @10:24AM (#8319044)
Just like they first update skype on Windows Phone, right?
Re:Yes, we’re being bought by Microsoft on Monday September 15, 2014 @10:23AM (#8319039)
If they didn't do that with skype or office why would they do that with Minecraft?
Re:Yes, we’re being bought by Microsoft on Monday September 15, 2014 @10:21AM (#8319029)
Integrating with their non-games services seems far more likely. Server hosting, voice chat, mod development, etc can all push people towards MS products.
Re:Yes, we’re being bought by Microsoft on Monday September 15, 2014 @10:06AM (#8318937)
Just like they killed Skype and Office on iOS and Android?
Re:Dutch Girl Fakes a Trip to South East Asia on Sunday September 14, 2014 @12:01AM (#8314483)
That's not the part people care about. People promoting a culture where it's okay to lie to others because "hey, it's not illegal" is everyone's business.

You're welcome.
Is that really how you think the mafia behaves? I wonder if that should be considered a PR problem or a huge success.
Re:The Apple Watch on Friday September 12, 2014 @09:47PM (#8311385)
Literally the same thing.
Re:The Apple Watch on Thursday September 11, 2014 @07:25PM (#8305802)
10^31 different positions is no closer to infinitely many than 5 different positions.
Re:The Apple Watch on Thursday September 11, 2014 @07:24PM (#8305792)
That's part of what it means to look good.
Re:The Apple Watch on Wednesday September 10, 2014 @09:28PM (#8300389)
The poorly dressed nerds you hang out with may not wear watches as often as they did in the 20th century, but that has little to do with fashion.

It is pretty funny how you continue to bring up timekeeping as if you believe that matters.

Re:The Apple Watch on Wednesday September 10, 2014 @09:27PM (#8300383)
Ties suck. High heels suck. Ironing clothes sucks. Cuff links may not suck, but are at best, pointless. Sucking has never stopped people from wearing things that look good.
Re:The Apple Watch on Wednesday September 10, 2014 @09:45AM (#8296500)
That would be a valid point if people actually wore unfashionable smartwatches for their usefulness. Their lack of mainstream adoption up until now says that's not the case.
