Microsoft Expert Witness Stumbles

Madnick also faltered on several other questions." Basically he doesn't understand what GNOME and KDE are, and since we're all holier-than-thou know-it-alls around here, we might as well laugh at Microsoft's expense ;)

    Do you mean to tell me that you think that handfull of civilians comes close to what the Taliban did?

    Uh... a handful? First, it looks like we're SURPASSING the terrorists in total # of murders!

    From this article:
    • World Trade Center death toll about 2,800; Pentagon 125
    • At least 3,600 civilian deaths in Afghanistan
