Here are a few quotes I found interesting about President Bush's speech. It sounds like the direction is good, I would just like to see a plan for making it happen.
  • "A future of hope and opportunity requires that all our citizens have affordable and available health care.... In all we do, we must remember that the best health care decisions are made not by government and insurance companies, but by patients and their doctors."
  • "Extending hope and opportunity in our country requires an immigration system worthy of America -- with laws that are fair and borders that are secure."
  • "For too long our nation has been dependent on foreign oil. And this dependence leaves us more vulnerable to hostile regimes, and to terrorists -- who could cause huge disruptions of oil shipments, and raise the price of oil, and do great harm to our economy."
  • "For all of us in this room, there is no higher responsibility than to protect the people of this country from danger. Five years have come and gone since we saw the scenes and felt the sorrow that the terrorists can cause. We've had time to take stock of our situation. We've added many critical protections to guard the homeland. We know with certainty that the horrors of that September morning were just a glimpse of what the terrorists intend for us -- unless we stop them."
  • "We've been through a lot together. We've met challenges and faced dangers, and we know that more lie ahead. Yet we can go forward with confidence -- because the State of our Union is strong, our cause in the world is right, and tonight that cause goes on."

I wish you could turn off dependency analysis when building a setup project in Visual Studio. Unfortunately you can't as stated below. The workarounds aren't very nice either.

"Unfortunately, there is no direct way to turn off dependency-analysis searching and resolution. However, there is a workaround: you can clear the Include standard search paths option in the dialog box that appears when you click the SearchPath property.

There are a few additional points to consider:

I have an interesting web site at seaninabox.googlepages.com. Did you ever need someone to talk to, but nobody would listen? Did you ever need to talk something out, but it was too private to tell? This site is here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to fill that gap. Here is somebody to talk to. You know the face on the screen isn't a real person, but subconsciously it helps. Give it a try. And, if you feel like you need some sort of response, try clicking on one of the response links below the picture. A good noncommittal response like "uhuh" is usually all it takes. That is what a good listener does to let you know they care about what you are saying.
