Not nearly as silly as the idea of supporting "software freedom".  At 
least a corporation can provide your livelihood in exchange for your 
support.

Yes, that's right, you did claim to be "very well-paid".  And I 
certainly don't see you returning a cent of that money.

And it's not a coincidence - at all - that you became a "software 
activist" ONLY after you made enough money developing/supporting 
proprietary code your entire career.

What a pile of shit statement.

You know, [H]ypocrite, you have a really sick, depressing and ignorant 
view of reality and the world everyone but you lives in.

Nicotine has made you crazy.

You hear that owl?  You've just learned an important lesson from 
Headmaster Homer.  Now sit down or he'll spank you with his generic 
paddle - he doesn't buy brand name paddles.

They are unique, and are usually difficult if not impossible to replace 
or reproduce, ie i tried 4 off/store brands of vanilla wafers and my 
devotion to Nabisco's Nilla Wafers was completely reinforced.

I'm sure I could waste days learning how to make them and arriving at my 
favorite recipe, but it won't save me time or money, and they won't be 
any better than Nabisco's.

Now get outsidea and enjoy Springtime with Nilla Wafers, oh yeah!

You're such a fuckin' hypocrite.  You smoke the same brand of ciggies, 
day after day for years.  And drink the same brand of rancid alcohol, 
and brush your 3 teeth with the same brush and paste for years, etc.

More ignorance.  They have different tastes, textures and ingredients.

If you weren't such a shrieking liar and hypocrite, you would take pics 
or videos of your cabinets and refrigerator and clothing and computers 
(right now without removing things) and it would prove that most of your 
bullshit tales about brand names and "price has no relationship to 
quality" and so on are just babbling lies.
