Funny - complain about "stoopid" then use "nuff" without the '

 

:p

I think Jonathan makes a valid point about the M$ bashing; I mean, did
you read the Groklaw article? The person comes off sounding very
immature, although his points may be valid. He uses the word "stoopid",
nuff said. In sites that are focused on things like legal issues, this
doesn't help the authors case out a bit. I've met people like this,
where you know they're right but you don't want to give them the smug
satisfaction of agreeing with them. Either way, I think it reflects
poorly on the F/OSS community. I'm not too concerned with M$ trying to
kill something that can't die and I think M$ is really shooting
themselves in the foot by actively working to reduce the functionality
of their product.
