1) not everyone

2) Unix was developed at bell labs, some people know that

3) Not that I'm a fan of Al Gore, but, hasn't that joke worn out yet?  All the man said 
was that he was involved in the funding for R&D and implementation.

If you want to pick on the guy, do it for a good reason, like not practicing what he tells 
other people to do.  Like conserve, while living in a place that uses more electric than 
any 10 houses ....
