You interact with critical systems every day that rely on electronics. You probably just never sat down to think about it since they are implemented well and tested to hell and back. How often do traffic lights fail? Elevators? Medical equipment? These all have a drastically lower rate of failure than consumer electronics. The problem here isn't with electronics in cars, it's with poorly implemented electronics in cars. Manufacturers need to give their quality control teams a kick in the butt and the means for them to implement the correct solutions. However, as long as marketing runs the show we will continue to have the users as a testbed instead of technicians testing these systems before the users and time and effort will go into areas that have a bigger payoff like 'styling'.
You can change many things, you can make it think it's spitting out $5's instead of $20's by changing the denomination settings. Ask for $100 and you get $400 instead; you can also change the per use fee or eliminate it entirely. To really piss people off you can change the denomination to think it's dispensing $100 bills but in reality giving out $20's =) You can get into the cash drawer too if they weren't smart enough to change the default combination lock code (which they most likely didn't). In short you CAN get money out of it. Just don't use -your- atm card while doing it or you'll be getting a visit once they look through the records.
Do you wear full body armour on top of coveralls and carry 50 pounds of equipment wherever you go on those days? I know I sure as hell wouldn't if I had the choice hehe.

What colour is the sky in your fantasy world?
Then in short order, you wouldn't have a million bucks, and a lot of used toys for sale.
It's not all about quantity of life, it's also the quality.
You cannot legislate common courtesy and respect.
Nor should you have to.

Dead site, couldn't back out. No content.

I doubt anyone uses it anymore. By now all the token have surely been lost!
See subject....
And another part of freedom is chipped away because of ... ooh look terrorists!
(Have you ever seen a terrorist that your gov't wasn't supporting?)
Not to be a stickler, but 'random order' implies a some type of order which is not at all random, I think you meant 'random manner'.

I read the article, I hate cats so does that mean I'm immune? =)
How does one tell if they are infected?
Use sheep, not trucks or horses. I can drink a lot of beer in the time that will take!
Some people have played around with them and Steve has been quoted as saying 'about the same as current powerbooks'. See here
Nobody has said it yet?
Ok then I will.
I'd hit it!
Yea, those slackers. I'm so glad Al Gore invented the internet, just so we can show those lazy military folks how to accomplish something!

Worse - It's the same commercial
Buy less crap that you don't -really- need.
Where are the Motorola and PowerPC chips? hehe
Some people grow attached to their pointy sticks and stone hammer tools when building a sub par house.
Whenever I see 'whingeing' I always see it as rhyming with 'hinge' as in door hinge.
I think it's technically correct, even though it looks wrong =)
THERE SHOULD BE NO 'G' IN THERE!
