There are better alternatives which allow you to check the offending item, or leave it and claim it on your return. Perhaps people should be made more aware of this through appropriate signage.

Hey kid. If you know what's good for ya, you'll quit kicking my seat.
This would make a great programming/scripting language:

#declare a gangsta (variable) called slim I'm a big ass gangsta and my name is slim
#link in the math pimp (library) math pimp is in tow and don't you fsck with him
#initialize slim to the hos (linked list) 4,3,2,1 # this causes an error because there is no rhyme 4 and 3 and 2 and 1 now slim and his hos be comming for you
#open a shoutout (file) Yo, here's a shoutout to the users out there hey Andy (CR LF) hey Amy (CR LF) hey Ben (CR LF) hey Zack (CR LF)
#exit with no error code peace out

Bugs are a natural consequence of programming. Eliminate them as you can of course. Designin software assuming a piece of code is bug free is like designing a bridge assuming beams don't bend.
People are talking about challenge-responsebased smart cards. Good idea -- I think some of the current "smart" cards are just using a chip to store and play back the card number. What might also be good is a way for your card (which you presumably trust) to challenge the ATM to prove that it is really a bank ATM and not someone just trying to grab your number.
Except you are thinking of Alan Turing, not John Von-Neuman. Now, what I picture is Jerry Seinfeld as Eccard or Machley (sorr, sp??) working on the Eniac and saying in frustration:
the functionality of something like Word 4.0 (which ran on a 1MB Mac Plus) compares to modern word processors (which need 50MB of RAM and a Pentium II).
I tend to think that it is more a problem of bloat from useless features -- clippy, sparkle text, maybe some useful features too like suport for non-latin charactersets.
The new zealand story is great. I also like liquid kids, but I have only been able to play them in AHME (emulation). Another game similar to bubble bobble, but with updated graphics is a game called "head panic". You play a boy o girl character and head-butt our opponents into submission. They turn into balls which you can use to eliminate other enemies. This game also has bosses at the end of every 4 rounds and pinup girls after you beat each boss:). I've only seen it in one arcade though in Pasadena, CA.
I'm in Japan now. I hae see na few good games, but they seem to have succombed to the same fighting game/driving game mediocrity as in the U.S. They have some nice skee-ball type arcades where you play for tickets. Two interesting games are one where you have a frying pan and try to toss meatballs through a ring, and another where you have a knife and cutting board and try to chop fish.
The two lamest looking ones were the train driving game (Woo, stay on that track). and the dog walking game complete with treadmill (although I could use the exercise).
The best game I saw was a downhill BMX racing game where you actually had to pedal to pick up speed, steer and pull on the handlebars to make jumps. There was force feedback on the pedals, so when you were airborne, they would turn very easily. That one was a real workout. Wish they had it at the gym.
My theory is that as CPUs became faster, more realistic games became possible. You might think this would lead to more diversity in gameplay, but the opposite has happened. Making games more like reality has narrowed the games into maybe half a dozen well devined generas (Fighting games, shooting games, driving games, scrolling shooters). There's my rant.
OK, time for a quick nostalgia trip. My friend and I were at a supermarket and they had bubble bobble. I asked if he wanted to play, but he said "that game is lame/retarded/gay". He had never actually played it, so I offered to pay for his first game. Well, 2 hours and 5$ later he didn't think it was so lame. Man I miss that game.
Skinner: Yes, it's a regional dialect. Chalmers: Uh-huh. What region?
Skinner: Uh, upstate New York. Chalmers: Really. Well, I'm from Utica and I never heard anyone use
the phrase, "steamed hams."
Skinner: Oh, not in Utica, no; it's an Albany expression.
They obviously don't use their own tools. Last time I programmed in windows, some little paperclip came up and said "It looks ike you're writing a shell sort routine. Would you like me to add bounds checking?"
I like to call source and excutable instructions. Instructions can be given at a number of levels:
top) go to the kitchen and get me a beer
lower) stand up
walk 12 paces due north
open the refrigerator
remove 1 beer
close the refrigerator
walk 12 paces due south
lower still) contract the following muscle groups until you are standing upright...
The point is that we usually give instructions to other people in the first way, sometimes going into the detail of the second way, but never in the third because it would take too long and wouldn't work anyway (How do you describe the complex process of just standing upright? And in a way that applies to all people?)
In the same way, computers are programmed in one of the two first ways and although you can program them in the third way it takes longer and doesn't work for all computers in the same way.
Even after Gore conceeded(look for THE FINAL BATTLE) the election? What a bunch of liberal whining. A presidential election isn't the grade school playground. There are no "take backs" and there damn sure aren't any "take backs" when you are actually president.
There is no need for the sequnce to stay the same. You could use some sort of code hopping algorithm (Like they use in modern garage door openers and remote keyless entry systems). It should also be possible to use some sort of time-based system or a challenge-response system based on a private key. You could also use one-time passwords on a USB dongle or something. Once you are logged in. you could generate some more passwords for the next time you log in.
I don't know about the karaoke place, but it seems like in the cyber cafe, they could keep the keyboards behind the counter and take some sort of deposit for their safe return.

That's my philosophy anyway.
A great old chestnut from my math prof:
"It's the lazy man who does the most work."

What might also be good is a way for your card (which you presumably trust) to challenge the ATM to prove that it is really a bank ATM and not someone just trying to grab your number.
Writing in assembly is generally a bad idea, but writing a compiler or an O/S pretty much reqires it.

Did I miss something. The spammers still "can spam" us. Wasn't this what the legislation was all about?
