If so, how do you choose which ones to donate to? Do you prefer regular or recurring donations? What payment methods do you like to use?

Yeah, I make a comfortable living doing software, and having kids didn't work out. So I give out a few hundred bucks a year spread across the likes of Gnome, KDE, Mozilla, and some one off donations to smaller projects that end up saving me some time. Free software costs me more than proprietary software. Haha. (Well, unless I factor in the software I use for work... Then not even close O_o)

I get the impression that maybe the money sent to Mozilla might be a waste though. :-\
