Never had a coke machine take your money?  An autoteller refuse a
withdrawal?  A confused entry in an INS database order your car
stripped coming back from Mexico?  A bad sensor put the entire
world on nuclear alert?

And that just comes from STUPID machines.  Just wait until they really
get smart.  (And tired of humanoids pounding on them and giving them
sh-twork to do).
