You don't need ACLs in the OS for that. You need an ACL veneer over user/group permissions that dynamically allocates a new group as required in order to fulfill the constraints you specify.
ACLs are one honking big bird to swallow in order to take care of the fly you swallowed earlier. I don't know why you swallowed the fly.
USAMRIID in Fort Detrick, Maryland. It was from the Ames strain, first cultured at the University of Iowa. USAMRIID is only the most visible of a network of labs operated by the DoD for the ostensible purpose of researching countermeasures to possible future organism-based attacks against U.S. or allied forces or populations.

As I understand it, LCD interfaces are not well-standardized, and you need to match the video hardware to the LCD. Perhaps a mini-PCI card? But then you've just lost your network solution -- unless you want to use the serial port.

I recall a paper from the 70s in which various natural languages were compared for "conceptual density" with respect to syllables by taking a basic narrative, expressing it colloquially in each language, comparing renditions for semantic equivalence, and counting syllables. The results indicated that Mandarin and English had the highest density, both significantly more compact than the romance or slavic languages, for example. To the degree that thought and memory are linguistic, I would expect this to give Mandarin and English native speakers something of an advantage over the rest of the world.

This is where you err: My little samsung cellphone will gleefully report to my boss the exact contents of my ballot, whether it is electronic or engraved on a stone tablet. And if you add up the kickback for all of those little votes, it easily pays for the phone, too!

Well, take a look at the history of paper balloting. Far, far more fraudently derived election results have been the result of paper ballots than of electronic ballots. Printing up ballots and injecting them into the counting system is not rocket science.
Give them a different receipt number. As long as everyone can see all the results, anyone can supply whichever receipt number they like, to anyone who is willing to commit several felonies by extorting a specific vote.
But frankly, I think your fear is absurd. I could demand that my employees vote a certain way right now. I could even demand a photo of the ballot as evidence, or make them wear webcams into the polling station. I'd also be looking at several years in Leavenworth.
Hey, they guys just trying to get pageviews for his adsense text ads. If the New York Times' awed regurgitation of CentCom press releases is news, then this should surely qualify
With SER or Asterisk on a spare PC, you can also do this. It will connect to an FXO for home use or a T1 card for running a little telco. Get your neighbors to make you their telco. All it takes is a T1, a cable modem, and a few days of education/installation.

Not even most *Ant* users, which are already a tiny
minority of Java developers.
The other half are my wife's fault, I guess.
And in other news, there's a new version of Netware.
Ant is about as useful to me (a Java developer) as
Mono. I don't care to hear about either.

Yeah, you're right. I want my Clipper chip!
It's my right as an American!

Why yes, I can. Then I can imagine his son becoming
President of the United States, and his partner the
Vice President.

Come now, they may be short vectors, but they are

And vectorizing compilers.
