# 100605, nate, initial version
# 100605, updated with collaboration from glarizza
# cf. http://pastie.org/993496
# cf. http://pastie.org/994884, with facter attribute additions
# 101222, require rubygems, facter; used facter to get serial (not as portable)
# 101222, reverted to system_profiler, as it requires fewer dependencies
# 110208, new url worked out by gary
# 110208, openssl workaround, cf. http://snippets.aktagon.com/snippets/370-Hack-for-using-OpenURI-with-SSL
