I use this cable --

For OS X, you have to use the driver found at

the cable is the pl2303. I imagine it is supported out-of-the-box in
Linux.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
