Conservatism + Billions of $$ + "Christianity" = Hypocrisy

The hardware used for this example are:
1. I/O Gear GBU221 USB Bluetooth Dongle
2. Logitech V470 Bluetooth Mouse

Be sure that /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth is executable so that bluetooth service will start when your machine is rebooted. If it...
