    I need a more complex representation of nonlinear ethics, because both Good and Evil, and their opposition monopolizing ethics, are all dull.

    Babylon 5, and also Star Trek:DS9.

    In particular, watch the DS9 episode "In the Pale Moonlight".

    What is needed is for the voter to show some ID when they show up to vote.

    What is considered valid ID?

    Hypothetical. I don't drive. Therefore I don't have a driver's license. I'm homeless. Therefor I don't have $UTILITY_BILL, etc....

    Why am I to be disenfranchised?

    NTFS has hard links and symlinks. The cmd line tools to do it just aren't provided with the system.

    Microsoft provides a hardlink utility for NTFS.

    If the shell needed a mouse or color or any of those other things, I'd have to go and get real monitors, keyboards and mice or each machine.

    I've got a 16 port KVM (2U) controlling my cluster. One monitor, keyboard and mouse for 10 nodes. The console itself is 1U rackmount. Only add'l bulk is the KVM cables from the nodes to the KVM switch.

  12. OT: Rehnquist and O'Connor on U.S. Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Lexmark Case · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The recent medical marijuana decision was interesting because of the dissenters.

    O'Connor, Rehnquist and Thomas dissented on the ground of States Rights.

    The others, including Scalia(!) ruled that medical marijuana (grown for one's self, in one's home, not taken out of state) can be regulated under the Interstate Commerce Clause.

    Just thought it was an interesting side note, given the parent post.
