Or when humans are too slow. For combat situations, being straddled to human speed reactions is definitely a disadvantage. Aimbots exist for a reason.

Unfortunately they won't deter true terrorists that are willing to die for their cause.
Did you mean, they won't deter true terrorists that are willing to kamikaze? Well, maybe the key is to not kill their leaders and instead negotiate with them.
It is totally impossible to secure credit cards given the way that credit card transactions work. I simply don't understand how come credit cards work the way they do. There's absolutely no authorization step involved.
Oh really? You've listed pretty much each of the most primal emotions out there, other than lust. I expect that these basic emotions occupy the minds of most large animals to a higher degree than us, since they aren't as concerned with such things as philosophy and art.
What do you consider anthropomorphizing? I don't sit animals down at the table and serve them a glass of wine. You think it's anthropomorphizing to recognize that they don't like it when you kick them?
If human needs are met, then we all shouldn't work so much, and enjoy life more. Capitalism is very efficient at organizing people to produce increasingly larger GDP. In other words, it encourages everybody to work a lot. At some point, we've produced enough for everybody, so it's better for everybody if we just took a break and enjoyed life more. If automation is covering the basic needs, we should transition into an economy that doesn't require us to work so much. Let the production fall. Increasing production further just increases our consumption of natural resources and hastens our eventual destruction.
In the long run it's probably good, but only if the fruits of automation is shared by all people. With the current economic model, shareholders will benefit, but unskilled workers will just get the shaft.
Actually, they probably included a few big wrenches to assemble some of the rack systems, so they probably have the tools to break even 1024 bit encryption.
On DOS, CTRL+break was used sometimes to attempt (usually futilely) to exit from a hung program. I think there's actually some difference between ctrl+c and ctrl+break, but in practice I don't think it amounts to much. For some reason, in Windows, they decided to use ctrl+alt+del to bring up the task manager. It used to reboot the computer. It would have been more consistent if they used ctrl-break for the task manager.
Scroll lock is somewhat useful in Excel to switch between cell movement and page movement. For some reason, Word hasn't adopted a similar feature for character movement versus page movement. Hell, browsers could make excellent use of scroll lock to switch between caret movement and page movement.

Infrastructure requires time and money to replace. Oil industries are running on inertia right now.

I don't know if this is an actual product intended to be sold to the public, or just a gimmick product design intended as part of a PSA campaign.
She can still hire a driver if she wants to when she has the right to drive.
Drivers are cheap in Saudi Arabia because they are practically slaves.
You know what would change women's lives more? Letting them drive.
Your time browsing /. was already lost employee time, so the ads aren't really costing your employer any more.

They were trying too hard to outdo Facebook in the advertising and privacy invasion and not outdoing Facebook in anything that people actually want.
