Good Comment

A very rare event is finding a good comment on a discussion forum (or alike).
I’ve found this on Slashdot, on an argument about the rights (or the lack thereof) of personal copies of music CDs :

When I buy a CD, am I buying the physical disc, in which case I surely get the right to do with it as I see fit, or I’m buying the right to listen to the music, in which case the media that it’s on should not be relevant.

Stupid features make a great product rubbish

Its a specific strange instance of greed. Addin just that one feature that in the end renders your otherwise perfect product in pure crap.

If you have used the form editor in Visual Studio 2005, you know what i mean :(
