    If I were certain of the wealthy in this country, especially the abusive wealthy (I am thinking names like Bush and Cheney, though no doubt there are many others less familiar), I would be very afraid, because of the situation that I had helped to create.

    Or more familiar, such as Kennedy, equally familiar but much richer, like John Kerry. Or equally familiar but less wealthy and more abusive, like Obama.

    This is very good news for me. I'll soon be able to pick up a new "refurbished" Linux netbook on woot.com for $200!

    I just tried it... the target phone rang.

    Does your target phone ring to announce an incoming voicemail? My phone has a distinctive ring for incoming voicemails. I set it to chirp so that when I ignore an incoming call, I'll know if the caller left a VM for me to listen to later. If I hadn't set the VM ring preference to chirp, it would have made the default ring sound when I tested this. It worked just fine, BTW. (No ring, just a chirp.)

    Besides, Tis better that one hundred guilty men walk free than one innocent man be condemned.
    That's not true. It disregards the damage that the those one hundred guilty men, walking free, will perpetrate against untold hundreds of other innocent men. It's far better to lock up that one innocent man along with those hundred guilty men.

    I wish. Please google the 2000 US presidential election for details.
    I googled it for you:
    Bush won the 2000 election with 271 electoral votes, vs. Gore's 256 votes. Your wish has been granted!

    (3) No Dish customers have reported any issues or changes to the operation or capabilities of their DVR
    I have three Dish DVRs and have noticed many changes in their operation and capabilities. The interface keeps getting better and more functional. I see an average of one UI improvement every few months. I just was not aware that I was required to report this to anyone. This was an oversight on my part.

    To whom should I report these changes? How does this affect the accuracy of your assertions?

    Every time someone says "the democrats and the republicans are the same" I think back to 2000 when I said something similar.. "Bush or Gore... eh it doesn't really matter, both parties are the same". And boy I don't think I've ever been so wrong about something in all my life.

    So, you voted for Gore. Don't feel too bad about it, he fooled a lot of people. It's time to stop kicking yourself.
