...but I can't recall for sure whether or not I even saw the second one. I think from that you can estimate my level of enthusiasm for seeing the third one.

Rock&Roll. Wish I had mod points today.
Hi, I'm a moron who not only enjoys bumping into trees because I don't want to know that I'm in a forest, I like to brag about it on Slashdot, too.
TFTFY.
Nouns take apostrophes for the possessive. Pronouns do not.
Now that we've completed our third-grade review lesson, can we perhaps get back to discussing DRM, or cats, or something remotely on-topic?
Cats tend to do that even when they're getting food from humans.
Please understand that the portion of the post you responded to was in fact quoted verbatim from TFS which you evidently did not bother to read.
I didn't say anything about a requirement that it happen everywhere all at once, since I don't see any.
Do you use the same excuses when you write code that doesn't compile?
But automation *has* been delivering on that promise, and for some decades now. See upstream posts concerning gas jockeys and bank tellers for a couple of examples.
And what is the incentive for the people owning the machines to give away everything they make for nothing?
Not being torn limb from limb by a hungry, homeless, and angry mob.
Man, where's that +1, Troll moderation option when you need it?
Most people who want to eat can still find food.
Unicode is your friend.
Why do banks
A: You need to change banks.
My online banking allows me to block the use of my card to make in-store purchases or ATM withdrawals within and/or outside the country and/or EU. I can also enable or disable the use of my card for online purchases. I can also enable or disable any use of the card for other than logging into online banking from within the country--that last item takes a call to the bank. (Not sure whether not being able to lock yourself out unless you're overseas is a good or bad thing.) I can also set and change separate limits on in-store purchases, cash withdrawals, and online purchases. Doing any of these things takes about 2 minutes, and I can do any of them any time that it suits me.
Banking online with my bank also requires multiple factors--the card, a card reader issued by the bank, a government-issued personal ID number, and the PIN--and uses multiple challenge/response to confirm login and any monetary transactions, with a time limit of 4 minutes before the codes become invalid and you must start the authentication process over from scratch. I'm aware that there's no such thing as perfect security, but this seems to run pretty close.
Now you know why I quit reading Games of Thrones after the 3rd book or so, and why I've no interest in watching the series.
