[ale] Weird behavior with Intel 965 graphics

[Jim Kinney]

that seems like it's a param for sysctl. look in /etc/sysctl.conf as a
place to make it perm.
Test by looking in /proc/sys/ or /sys and echo that value into a file named
allow_duplicates that _should_ exist already. It may be hiding in the video
chipset namespace somewhere.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
