Gods, the last day or two has been interesting, considering the "election that just won't die" is still going on. FLIP A COIN! If the vote is this close, and people refuse to use a popular vote as the real voting mechanism (for which there is a great supporting article on /.), then let fate decide. Heck, if the vote is that close, no matter what half the people will be mad. At least that way no one can claim it's rigged :-) Thank gooodness we don't have to declare random or pull entropy from the kernel for coin tosses!

Okay, so geek related... I'm trying to see if I can't find some of the fingerprints that seem to be missing from Queso/nmap/etc to make those a bit more current. That'll be a spare time kind of thing, tho :-)

I'm using a few things as 'recent reference' material:
