This is the theory behind De-evolution. It basically states that evolution is controled by us adapting to our environment, however in these modern times, we actually modify our environment to suit us, thus preventing further evolution.
I work for a natural gas company in Canada, and we sell adapters that attach to the gas meter on the home (for natural gas furnace, water heater, etc), so you can fill up in your own driveway. They are called a Vehicle Refueling Appliance or a NGV Home Compressor
However, they are not very popular. But who knows what the future will hold.
Actually some are satellite based. A few years ago, I was in Dawson City in the Yukon, and there was an ATM in town which had a note stuck on it explaining that the service often didn't work due to a loss of satellite signal.
I can understand asking for a passanger list - who knows, it may even speed up the line in Immigration, but anything more is a clear invasion of privacy.
I was suprised by this story today, as just earlier I had noticed, for the first time, a huge sign on the british Consulate in downtown Ottawa, Canada promoting British technology.

Well, if Apple had their way, the keyboard would only have one key. ;)
Try reading it yourself!
The article says "Anyone with a Windows 2000 CD can boot up a Windows XP box and start the Windows 2000 Recovery Console, a troubleshooting program."
The recovery console can only be launched from a 2000/XP CD or from a boot menu if installed on the hard drive.
In addition:
You have a limited number of commands available from the recovery console, and you only have access to certain directories.
See Q314058
By default the Administrator password is blank, but can be changed. Also this account can only be accessed locally.
A WinXP CD will do the same - it doesn't have to be a Win2k CD. It's also intentional.
