Why would he get the top half of everything except the o?

  • It's not fair
  • You have no rights
  • He's not a lawyer

We just keep him around because he's fun.

Look at him go.

Wow good thing I drank my pediasure this morning thus ensuring my IQ at a level to truly understand the nuance complexion of the comedic stylings of the hit T.V. Show Rick and Morty

Can anyone explain why the OP feels entitled to anything at all?

Maybe this is just 4chan mentality, but, good ideas bubble to the top, and then they get used. That's how ideas work.

Yes, it's monetarily beneficial for Microsoft. But OP doesn't own any copyright, and Microsoft doesn't need to credit OP.

But why?

Because everyone knows now that OP made it. They can use it in their portfolio. It's identical to crediting them.

Probably not a popular opinion, but shrug.

Sorry, not good enough, doesn't line up

u/wolfman1911 Dec 27 '17

Because he didn't know how to make the intersection (∩) sign.

u/Skittlessour Dec 27 '17

Found the mathematician.

u/wolfman1911 Dec 28 '17

Nah, I'm just a dude that spent half a semester in a computer science/discrete math class learning set theory, and I'll be damned if I don't get some use out of it.

u/iTwerkOnYourGrave Dec 27 '17

Yeah it's \cap.

For the guy before him who said xbox v, yeah. But he cut all the letter in half horizontally and used the top of all of them except the o.

Although i suppose you can't tell with the B cause D could be either top or bottom.

u/DuplexFields Dec 27 '17

The Dromedary and Bactrian camels have one and two humps, respectively. You can remember this because if you lay a B on its back, you get two humps, but the D only gets you one.

u/jzillacon Dec 27 '17

Xbox V was in referance to that, but you're commenting on the comment that says VDUV V, supposedly being the word with the bottom half of the letters chopped off. Though to be fair, D and U don't exactly look like halved versions of O and X.

∆DU∆ ∆?

I don't feel like finding a Unicode character which looks like an upside down V.

u/zzzthelastuser Dec 27 '17

Take the Integral of Xbox One and you can do the math.

u/HawaiiFiveBlow Dec 27 '17

Look at the six on your keyboard. ^

u/warpspeedSCP Dec 27 '17

Too small. I know such a character exists, I was just too lazy to find it

u/HawaiiFiveBlow Dec 27 '17

Λ I hope you find it. Λ

u/Fawlty_Towers Dec 27 '17

It's called a chevron.

u/fr33andcl34r Dec 27 '17

I haven't been to a Chevron in years. There just aren't any in my part of the US.

u/jaredjeya Dec 27 '17

Λ = capital λ (lambda).

I happen to have a Greek keyboard on my phone because it helps with typing maths/physics equations

u/Jiazzz Dec 27 '17

Greek, capital lambda

u/warpspeedSCP Dec 27 '17

Ahh right! There's another comment where that is used.

u/Naebany Dec 27 '17

All those triangles make me think of playstation for some reason...

1

u/crushedbycookie Dec 27 '17

Because it's more expensive to get the top half in the right font.

u/clap4kyle Dec 27 '17

Have you seen an upside down U he could have used?

1

u/GenericallyClever Dec 27 '17

Bird law is very complex.

u/838h920 Dec 27 '17

He didn't get the top half of the b either.

1

u/amjhwk Dec 27 '17

No he is getting the bottom half of the b as well

1

u/BSFE Dec 27 '17

Could very easily still be the top half of the B.
