Like I said, “techno whores” only care about technology

Wow, what a label! So, wisely choosing technology based on the merits makes someone a "techno whore." And here I thought it was just common sense and smart business practice. I didn't know I was supposed to choose inferior software because I don't like a guy behind it. You mean I should have stopped using Photoshop and started using the GPL Gimp after Adobe had Skylarov arrested?

You or another fanboi will probably whine to the moderator

I have a feeling that nobody needs to complain anymore, and the moderator just looks in on you specially to see if you're trolling to hard.

You obviously don't, but people with higher principles than their own selfish desires are careful about where they shop. Some of us don't buy anything with a "made in china" sticker for example. We also don't buy seats at Bill Clinton fundraisers just because he's a good speaker. Others lack such principles and are more than eager to send their money to foreign countries to buy cars, computers, etc. or download some foreign clone software for free instead of buying the American original. They have no allegiance to America, their only true allegiance is obviously to themselves.
