Somehow, I doubt Bin Ladinix would exist.

Unless of course you define Bin Ladinix as any computer software not 100% originating in the US.

Which can't be said for anything, because even Apple, IBM, and M$ all either directly employ or use the products of programmers, engineers, and developers overseas.

So, save for a few pieces of open-source software, there is nothing that is 100% developed and made in America. Not even Windows.

Thus by your warped definition of what constitutes "right software" and "American software" even M$ Windows and Mac OS X are foreign.

I doubt Bin Ladinix would exist.

But if it did, it could become your favorite, as you've admitted here and previously. You have no prejudices against any software, so long as it suits your purposes is all you care about, you'd turn absolutely nothing down on principle, and are obviously proud of that fact. You try to justify that by referring to Microsoft as "M$", as if something is wrong with an American company selling software, instead of giving it away for free like this foreign Ubuntu. I know you don't like your position being so starkly defined, but that is it, based on your very words right here and on other posts. And it leaves you in a pathetically poor position to criticize me, a man of principle, and one who supports American businesses over foreign clones of their products.
