Our ATM Is Broken, Go To Jail
Actually, I do RTFA writes "This community recently discussed possible criminal prosecution for people who took advantage of faulty slot machine software. At the time, many here drew an analogy to a hypothetical ATM that dispensed too much money. Well, apparently, that too may result in criminal charges. Although they suspect that someone may have tampered with the ATM, they are considering charging anyone who got extra money from it." Here is an editorial musing on the morality of such unexpected windfalls.
Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

as the article says, the machine knows who got too much money and didn't come forward about it.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Yes, but responsible people don't wait until the due date to pay their bills.
Just like responsible students don't wait until the due date to do their assignments.
How we know is more important than what we know.
big deal. I once found an ATM that dispensed cans of soda.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Clearly your bank is superior to mine.

Maybe they got some of their voting machine code in there by mistake.
if (Republican)
{
Total += 20;
}
I kind of suspect it might have been something along those lines.
But it was more than 15 years ago, so I'm not that worried. Besides, they would go after my son, wouldn't they?
ATM is not a truck. It's a series of pneumatic tubes carrying cans of information (53 bytes each).
Escher was the first MC and Giger invented the HR department.
...I like to think I learned something from their example.So then you didn't have kids?
Besides, they would go after my son, wouldn't they?
I am so glad you are not my dad.
I got nothin'
I deposit money into my sisters BoA account regularly at the drive-through. I just drive up with an account number and a deposit slip. Have a nice day...what REALLY bothers me is the fact that I'm 6'3" and hairy and they still give me suckers.
If a bag of cash falls off of a bank truck in front of you, you can probably claim it as payment for damage to your car.
Good to see you didn't
