I go to great lengths to buy clothes not made in sweatshops, actually. I admit I have some clothes probably made in sweatshops that I go second-hand. BTW, I've often been the only one at FOSS conferences raising the issue that t-shirts given out and/or sold were made by sweatshop labor.

Yes, the X200 I'm typing this on was probably made in a sweatshop, as was the Nexus One I still use as a mobile device. But, I use every piece of hardware I have until it breaks in an unfixable way, and I also only buy used hardware. I've purchased a newly made electronic device since the late 1990s.

As I mentioned in the original post, I've only worked for charities dedicated to causes I support. I'm curious to know which causes you spend your time getting "bent out of shape" to work on. Perhaps making up facts about authors of posts that get HN coverage is your cause? Is that your day job, or just a hobby cause? :)

Oh, and as for commuting, I work from home, which means I don't drive home from work any day. The last day I "drove home from work" was circa early 1997. Did you happen to research and were speaking about the commuting I did in the 1990s?

I wonder how the rest of HN readers cash in on this "guarantee" you gave them about the facts of my life which I can easily disprove you were wrong about.
