Beowulf was all like, you know, and then said something like a ...
The machine wins out
against humans because there was no human witness to the event except for
me. I do not trust ATM machines or electronic transactions in general now,
I have switched back to cash for most of my purchases (heck I might go
back to wampum at some point!).
I have gone back to cash / check exclusively - I dislike being graphed.
In fact, I no longer use any "Preferred Customer" discount cards for the
same reasons.
A little googling turned up some interesting material including virus/worm
infections of ATMs, etc. Hmmm, this sounds alot like some movie plots I
have encountered, most recently Firewall with Harrison Ford. Imagine, an
ATM virus/worm, that screws people like me out of $100, or $10, but does
it a lot, and sends the money to some evil dude wherever.
Not an unreal possibility ...
