The problem with putting in an inbound firewall is people running game servers. ISPs and game companies would get deluged by clueless users wanting to know why they can't set up a game of Duke Quakem or whatever.
I never understood why people are so suspicious of 50s and 100s. They must get checked mostly because you are out of more money if they turn out to be fake.
Within the US, the most commonly counterfeited bill is the $20. Outside the US, it's the $100. Since most counterfeiting is done in foreign countries (Iraq, anyone?), there are a lot more fake $100s than fake $20s.

If you look at the internal version numbers, Microsoft considers Windows 95 to be Windows 4.0. Win98, 98SE and ME are all Windows 4.1.
On the NT side, Win2k is WinNT 5.0, while XP is WinNT 5.1.
Not quite.
