In the US it is not "usually about $50". it is $50 and mandated by law. Now many banks are moving to $0 as this is their new marketing ploy to attract customers.

From the submission possibility related to an old Windows 95 bug
From the Article. The shutdown is intended to keep the system from becoming overloaded with data and potentially giving controllers wrong information about flights, according to a software analyst cited by the LA Times.
The shutdown is not a crash but a scheduled event to bring the servers down to flush data. So it does not seem to be a problem with Windows (Ok now I get marked as troll) but with the FAA's own software.
As common carriers, they shouldn't have to do this.
ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH
Time and time again I see this argument "ISP's are common carriers"
NO THEY ARE NOT.
Show me where an ISP's have been granted Common Carrier Status in America and I will eat my keyboard.
If ISP's were common carriers then they would not be required (nor even allowed) to take down a site as they would have zero responsibility on what is posted.
ISP's Fall under that category of "Enhanced Service Provider" Status
Here is what the common carrier status means.
A "common carrier" has a legislatively-granted monopoly over a particular route, region or type of communications. In return, the carrier must carry everything and has no right to reject particular passengers or communications. ---
"The FCC's policy with regard to ISPs goes back over 30 years. In 1966, in a proceeding known as Computer I, the FCC first asked "what is the regulatory difference between computers that facilitate communications and computers with which we communication." The FCC divided the universe at that time into pure communications, pure data processing, and hybrid stuff. Pure communications is regulated under title II as common carriers. Data processing was seen at the time as highly competitive and innovated, with very low barriers to entry to the market. There was, therefore, no need to regulate that industry. Therefore the FCC's policy of not regulating what would become the Internet was born. And for the stuff in between, the hybrid stuff, well, the FCC would just figure it out.
In the 1970s, the computer networks became distributed (terminals began to get intelligent) and the FCC was overwhelmed figuring out what the hybrid stuff was. Therefore the FCC initiated Computer II. In this proceeding, the FCC refined its definitions and came up with the basic versus enhanced services distinction. Basic telecommunications is where a message crosses the network virtually transparent to the network - There is essentially no interaction between the network and the content of the message. Enhanced services were pretty much anything else - anything which involved data processing or protocol conversion or something where the message returned by the computer is different from the message inputted. ISPs fall under the definition of enhanced service providers.
These proceedings did much more than set definitions. Of course they declared that what would be ISPs were not regulated as common carriers by the FCC. They also set restrictions for telephone company (monopolies) entrance into the competitive ESP market and exempt ISPs from the metered access charges (modem taxes) that long distance companies pay. (I am working on a Guide where all of these rules as they exist today are set forth).
In response to the CNET article where the challengers say that only Congress has authority to exempt ISPs from common carrier regulation, it should be noted that the US Congress adopted the FCC's regulatory scheme in the Telecom Act of 1996, setting forth the definition of Information Service Providers which included all ESPs and which are unregulated.

I wonder how his estate feels to have been removed from one of the biggest trilogys of our generation. I mean he was there, he did the acting and now this no talent upstart is getting the credit. It's kind of offensive.
SOE Did that to me I lost support for Everquest once they found out I was playing on my Laptop. It was enough for me to cancel my account. Hell I payed my subscription and nowhere did it say my system was unsupported. Not only that but my problem was completely unrelated to any hardware issue (I had a character stuck in a zone that had issues). But it pissed me off enough so I demanded a refund of my unplayed time and canceled my account.
Wait this code is protected by Trade Secret statutes.Well IIRC then Mr. Connelly may sue his developer for leaking said Trade Secrets but since they are now in the wild they will no longer be coverd by these statutes and he must apply for patent protection or use civil litigation and go after offenders for copyright violation. But under no cicumstances are the users in danger of criminal charges.
Interesting site. If these laws and policy's stop one person from voting who is eligible (ie not felon) and who wants to they could probably be overturned if one were willing to make a legal battle out of it.
I was pretty sure we got rid of that property owner requirement for voting awhile back.

After looking at those videos, and although I do not have one in front of me right now, I don't remember kryptonites having a hole in the lock at the bottom of the straight bar. so unless I am wrong it took a drill and a bic pen. I'll check this out when our order comes in.
Donnie Darko was a flop in the theatres, it was not until it was released on video that it made any money for the studio. It earned less then 1 million dollars in it's 2001 theatrical release. the only reason that they are doing the re-release is to make money, if it had not gained such a cult following in dvd sales it would not be released back into the theatres. It has nothing to do with how good a movie is, it's all about the benjamin's.

and yes I am replying to my own post.
It has been awhile but I used to work for this evil entity and all the ATMs that I saw were running OS/2. Then again it was 7 or 8 years ago.
I think the increased force used to pull your self through the water is offset by the increased viscosity of the fluid.
It was this issue has nothing to do with the Win95 bug, It was just the submitters opinion (which happens to be very wrong)

Raymond Chen is less then you in the amount of spam received, who knows maybe he is exactly the average.
Why don't you poll people and find out.
