USB Charging Specification

If a portable device is attached to a USB host or hub, then the USB 2.0 specification requires that after connecting, a portable device must draw less than:
2.5 mA average if the bus is suspended
100 mA if bus is not suspended and not configured
500 mA if bus is not suspended and configured for 500mA

Where do you get 50 mA?

Let's extrapolate:

I haven't manufactured any vehicles, so I don't deserve to have an opinion on how much fuel they should use or how safe they should be.
I haven't invented any media codecs, so I don't deserve to have an opinion on which formats online distributors should provide.

And for immature bullshit, let's extrapolate again:

You're not my mom, so you don't deserve to have any opinions about me.

See how stupid that was?

That's utterly inane attention-grubbing bullshit that needs to stop because it makes all of us look bad. Linux is not GNU/Linux any more than Windows is "GNU/Windows" after you install Cygwin. Do you use the Cerf/Internet every day, and sometimes drive a Lenoir/Car? What did you have for Albertson's/Lunch?

Your dictionary definition of "hundred" is a dictionary definition of "hundred". It is not a definition of "100", which clearly starts with a one. You will note that your definition clearly shows that you may use "a hundred" or "one hundred". It does not show "a one hundred". You cannot write the term "hundred" in a numerical format, as it is abstract.

the Post Service, which is buckling under massive financial losses

a nuisance to be a slave to junk mail

The "Post Service" should consider charging standard rates to the junk spammers, instead of giving them bulk discounts. Either the spam volume will massively decrease, which will save them money on delivery since many customers will no longer require delivery but a few times per month, or the spam volume will stay the same, but they'll gain several million dollars of budget power from the increased postage fees.
