Then when another system does something faster, you call it "stupid". Puhleez. If your real opinion is just "Whatever Plan 9 does is brilliant, and anything different is stupid", then say it, instead of pretending to have reasoned opinions. For my part, Plan 9 does some things very well, and other things less well.
