The chance of bad data causing an innocent person harm scares me. I haven't been able to e-file my taxes for the past two years because the IRS and SSA can't seem to get my birthday right this year or my entire identity last year. Since they think I'm 20 years older than I really am, how would that throw off the auto-profiling??
When I boot, it gets to the Windows 2000 Professional splash screen, with 'Starting up...' and a progress bar on the bottom. It gets about 75% of the way, and then stops.
I guess I can add my me too. I have a Dell single P4 at home and it now hangs. My Dell dual P3 at work still boots fine. The four Macs are still okay but killing the PC is not cool.
Backdoors to airplanes have been talked about recently. This news story: http://www.techtv.com/news/story/0,24195,3348403,0 0.html quotes Ian Sheppard, of British airline consultant Air Claims, endorsing the idea of a ground controller being able to take control of a hijacked plane.
It worries me that any ground based system that could be used to save a plane from actual hijackers, could be compromised and used to hijack a plane by remote control.

Damn you for slashdotting BoingBoing!!
Everyone knows Microsoft isn't good at security.
