 currently (some) USB serial devices are supported on the laptop, including
 the Scratch sensor board.  but because tty devices normally require
 privileged users, the devices aren't accessible without modifying system
 configuration.

 we should create a udev rule to set the correct permissions by default on
 device insertion -- this rule should be placed in a file in
 /etc/udev/rules.d, and should contain:

 {{{
 KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", MODE="0666"
 }}}

 (thanks to john maloney for reminding us of this.  i meant to report it
 some time ago.)
