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.

That quote and the wikipedia article it comes from are both misguided because they still describe Anonymous as a group.

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.

That's science, not math.

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.

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.

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.

Just like they first update skype on Windows Phone, right?

If they didn't do that with skype or office why would they do that with Minecraft?

Integrating with their non-games services seems far more likely. Server hosting, voice chat, mod development, etc can all push people towards MS products.
