It doesn't have to be, because there is no organization to belong to. The double-edged part really starts to cut when the ones doing the accusing realize that they can put someone else into Anonymous as easily as they can join it.

Look at their website. It's a company that helps you send mass e-mails while circumventing spam filters. Awesome. I'm so excited about this interesting opportunity to send "e-mail blasts" to everyone who's ever been foolish enough to leave an address with me, I just wish they had an hour and a half long "webcast" I could watch.
Thanks Slashdot! Without you, I never would have guessed that a former casino scammer (not that there's anything wrong with that) would look to make his next fortune in the spam, er, electronic campaign management business!
Firefox has a multitude of memory leaks, and it's trivial to trigger them. Just leave Firefox open at the end of the day. You can start getting picky about it when it's harder to reproduce.
Perhaps it's time for them to accept that producing your own phone OS is just too much work for a small player, and load their BlackBerry software suite on Windows Mobile.
If they managed to become BBW, they would have a truly impressive amount of weight to throw around.
The point was, we make those tradeoffs consciously in order to do things we couldn't otherwise do. It's not like there's some lost ancient art of working with concrete, and just because one particular group in Portugal was incompetent doesn't mean much of anything.
And that's not even getting into the survivorship bias. I'll bet there's a handful of buildings standing from our time 2,000 years from now, and a bunch of luddites will telepathically post (while rocketbooting!) about how much better the ancients from the 21st century used to do it.
So rather than two Federal Marshalls in ties having a discussion with the gentleman, the Feds come in Police State style, tossing American citizens around like ragdolls and trampling the Constitution and the natural rights of man.
What is wrong with this country?
"One of the agents runs up and basically throws him down the stairs, and he's got the cuts and bruises to show for it," said Covert, who said the homeowner plans no lawsuit. When he was allowed to get up, agents escorted him and watched as he used the bathroom and dressed.
Emphasis mine.
Having guns pointed at you and being thrown down the stairs half-naked is perfectly acceptable, unless you're a terrorist. This man is a patriot and a hero.
1. At the higher levels it's all build order and strat and multitasking at an insane level. It's fun, but when you get to the higher levels the experimentation in the game is pretty much gone. If you experiment at all with a new strat you are dead.
Emphasis mine.
This is every high-level competition I can think of. Ever played Bridge, Poker, or Euchre? You almost know what the other player has. They know you know, so they pretend to have something else. You know they know you know, so you figure out what they would have that would make them want to pretend to have what they're pretending to have, ad infinitum.
The thing that really drives the concept home is when you play against an amateur. I remember getting my ass handed to me in Street Fighter II by someone who couldn't even throw a fireball, because I was so used to being able to predict exactly what they were going to do, I'd start the counter before I even thought about it, and planning counters to their counter to my counter... and then I was dead, to a high roundhouse kick that any pro player would know was absolute suicide. Ever play poker against someone who has absolutely no idea how to play? They're the perfect bluffs, because they don't even know they're bluffing, and people get pissed. Which is funny to me, because you'd think that it's the first time they've ever come up against the wildness of an amateur's play. That scene in The 40-Year-Old Virgin happens all the time.
Don't get me wrong, I hate Starcraft and think it's an unfun, terrible game, but you won't find an escape from this particular issue as long as people have a theory of mind.
Cloud never meant anything, and even if it did, trying to battle marketing over buzzwords is like fighting water for the ocean. If it weren't a buzzword it wouldn't exist.
Just let it go, man. I mean, you want to tighten up the definition of the word, but you can't even define it yourself. Think about it.
There's many alternative explanations for your observation, but I'll offer just two:
Those who are actually intelligent, instead of just highly specialized, have enough social skills that you think of them as more than just "smart".
You feel threatened by smart people, so judge them more harshly than you do "normals".
As for having "little regard for their fellow humanity (sic)", well, even someone of only average intelligence would think that half the people in the world are stupid. Imagine what Feynman felt like.
Thanks? I guess you think you're calling me out on something, but I was intentionally comparing it to exaggerated, but similar hypothetical situations, and I thought it was obvious enough that I wouldn't be "tricking" anyone into agreeing with me.
But, upon reflection, I can totally see how you'd think I was trying to use ingeniously-disguised underhanded rhetoric when I suggested executing farmers for selling food, it was pretty subtle. My bad.
So if I sleep with a sex addict, I should go to jail for rape? Should websites with advertising be shut down for exploiting those with internet addictions? Is burying farmers under their own fields for catering to people addicted to eating going too far?
They both do things the other can't--I doubt this system does nearly as well for actual depth tracking, for instance. But, put the two together, and you would end up with something even more amazing.

Depends where you shoot them.
And some people love a good hard cock up the ass, are you suggesting I have the right to go assfuck everyone in the world because some people like it?
Be glad the world isn't fair. If it was, we would deserve all this.
Works fine for me in FF 4, and tbh I can't recall seeing that in behavior in years. You might want to check your options again.

Yeah, skyscrapers today just don't compare with skyscrapers from ancient Rome.
And have you seen those entire buildings they put up in a couple months with a crew of 20 or so? I bet they won't be standing in 2,000 years.

Yes, it's probably due to that one thing you heard about.

It should have a space. Ever seen "pro-golfing" or "pro-basketball"? Pro- means "for", pro without the hyphen is a shortening of "professional".

Never meant to make your constituents cry, I apologize a trillion times.
That depends, are you an overpaid narcissist who's trying to renege on his word?
Dude. What the fuck are you on?

This is awesome. I'm going to start up a few Steam dedicated servers just to collect SteamIDs, and then go post those error messages on their forums.
Nah, it's just some stupid little attention whore trying to draw attention to himself by making outrageous claims. And on the internet to boot.
On the internet? Ooh, Patent Pending.
Who would have thought.
It had better not be you, or Ken Rutowski sue your ass.
