When a processor determines that the ink supply has run out, capacitors send an electrical jolt through the ink nozzles, frying them. Suppose a remanufacturer tried to refill the cartridge before the sensors detected it was empty and destroyed it? Lexmark thought of this too. Merely opening the cartridge causes it to self-destruct.

	Our sink is blue and we're not talking about it. It happened
	over a week ago; I was leaning over the sink, brushing my teeth,
	when I noticed that there was a sort of lazuline patina that had
	seeped over most of the surface. Margret hasn't mentioned
	anything about this. Why she hasn't is that she's obviously
	tried to clean the sink with, well, I don't know, some fluid
	used for stripping entrenched cerriped colonies from the hulls
	of submarines or something (they were probably offering three
	bottles of the stuff for the price of two at Aldi). She is
	waiting for me to mention it. But I am a wily fox, and will be
	doing nothing of the sort. I'm no wet-behind-the-ears, naive
	youth anymore, not by a looooong way, and I can perfectly see
	the spiked pit the seemingly innocent words, 'Did you know the
	sink's blue' are covering. It would go - precisely - like this:

	Me: Did you know the sink's blue?
	Margret: Yes. I did. I used a jungle exfoliant produced by the
	Taiwanese military to clean it, and it discoloured the surface.
	Me: Oooooooo. K.
	Margret: Well maybe, just maybe, if you cleaned the sink once
	in a while...
	You see what she did there? Now I'm facing a whole day of 'When
	did you last...?' Well, not this canny fellow - not this time,
	my friends.  Our sink is blue and we're not talking about it.

	...

	Romance Masterclass. 
	It's Wednesday the 12th of February. It's early evening. Margret
	and I are sitting in the living room. Margret has asked me to
	do something the following day.
	Mil: 'I can't, I'm afraid. I'm going into town.'
	Margret: 'Why? What do you need to go to town for?'
	Mil: 'Oh, I have to get some stuff.'
	Margret: 'What stuff?'
	Mil: 'Just some stuff... things.'
	Margret: 'What things?'
	Mil: 'Various things.'
	Margret: 'What things?'
	Mil: 'What does it matter?'
	Margret: 'What things?'
	Mil: 'It's not important what specific things, is it? I have to
	get things or I wouldn't be cycling into town, would I? All
	that's relevant here is that I have to go, not the details of
	the individual items I need to get - there's no point wasting
	time giving you a big list, when the only significant point is
	that I need to go to town.'
	Margret: 'What things?'
	Mil: 'Oh, for Christ's sake... Pizzas. I need to buy some pizzas, OK?'
	Margret: 'We've got pizzas.'
	Mil: 'We've got a pizza.'
	Margret: 'So? How many do you need?'
	Mil: 'Several. I want to have several in the fridge.'
	Margret: 'Why?'
	Mil: 'So that we have a stock of them.'
	Margret: 'Why?'
	Mil: 'So that we don't run out, obviously.'
	Margret: 'What would happen if we ran out?'
	Mil: 'I'd have to go to town.'
	This flings itself out of my mouth while my higher brain is
	still racing along behind it frantically waving its arms and
	shouting, 'Wait! Wait!'
	Margret responds with just the tiniest movement of her eyebrows.
	Absolutely minuscule. Sufficient in size, however, to make me
	wonder if I could get a UN resolution to have her bombed.
	Mil: 'I have to get other things too.'
	Margret: 'What things?'
	Mil: 'What the bloody hell does it matter? Why can't I go to
	town if I want to, for God's sake?'
	Margret: 'Why are you being secretive? What are you up to?'
	Mil: 'I'm not up to anything.'
	Margret: 'Yes you are.'
	Mil: 'Like what?'
	Margret: 'I don't know.'
	Mil: 'Because there isn't anything.'
	Margret: 'Yes there is - I can tell.'
	Mil: 'There isn't.'
	Margret: 'You bloody liar.'
	Mil: 'You bloody mad woman.'
	Margret: 'Tell me.'
	Mil: 'Stop talking now.'
	Margret: 'Tell me.'
	Mil: 'I...'
	Margret: 'Tell me.'
	I think we've both risen to our feet by this point (it allows
	for better voice projection).
	Mil: 'OK! OK! You want to know why I need to go up town, you relentless
	harridan?!'
	Margret: ''Yes! You lying swine!'
	Mil: 'So I can get your Valentine's Day card! So I can get your
	bloody Valentine's Day card and post it to here - so it'll
	arrive as a nice surprise through the post!'
	A tiny flicker. It's the merest stutter of hesitation, though,
	then she's back on track before the beat is really lost.
	Margret: 'You don't need to get me a bloody Valentine's Day card!'
	(I can't imagine what makes her think she's going to get away
	with this move - she must be getting old.)
	Mil: 'Too bad! Because I'm getting you a Valentine's Day card!
	And I'm posting it to you! Tomorrow! When I go to town!'
	Margret: 'THERE'S NO BLOODY NEED!'
	Mil: 'WELL IT'S GOING TO BLOODY HAPPEN - GET USED TO IT!'
	And, indeed, I do go to town, buy her a card, and post it.
	Inside I write, 'Surprise!'
	She gets it on Valentine's Day and says, 'Thank you,' to me,
	through gritted teeth.
	(She gets me one too, by the way - it reads, "I'm not interested
	in a nice, normal relationship... I like ours better.")
	Odysseus and Penelope? Pah - lightweights.

https://www.cs.rice.edu/~scrosby/hash/CrosbyWallach_UsenixSec2003/index.html We present a new class of low-bandwidth denial of service attacks that exploit algorithmic deficiencies in many common applications' data structures. Frequently used data structures have ``average-case'' expected running time that's far more efficient than the worst case. For example, both binary trees and hash tables can degenerate to linked lists with carefully chosen input. We show how an attacker can effectively compute such input, and we demonstrate attacks against the hash table implementations in two versions of Perl, the Squid web proxy, and the Bro intrusion detection system. Using bandwidth less than a typical dialup modem, we can bring a dedicated Bro server to its knees; after six minutes of carefully chosen packets, our Bro server was dropping as much as 71% of its traffic and consuming all of its CPU. We show how modern universal hashing techniques can yield performance comparable to commonplace hash functions while being provably secure against these attacks.

https://www.ventureblog.com/articles/indiv/2003/000208.html Economist David Friedman of Santa Clara University puts it most succinctly: there are two ways to make a car -- you can either make it in Detroit or grow it in Iowa. You already know how to make it in Detroit. You get a bunch of iron ore, smelt it into steel, and have an assembly line of robots and workers shape it into a finished vehicle. To grow it in Iowa, you plant car seeds in the ground (also known as "wheat"), wait until they sprout, and harvest them. Take the harvest and put it into a big boat marked "to Japan" and let it sail off. A few months later a brand new car comes back.
