A while back someone mentioned a credit card that supports Linux. This is cool, but it gets better. The card is offered from MBNA and their cards have the ability to generate Virtual Numbers. The Virtual Numbers are valid between 1 and 12 months and are given an upper limit on credit associated with them. This means that almost every(*) online purchase you make can be done w/ a different number. This would go a long way in protecting you from fraud when (these days it seems when, not if) the site's database of thousands of credit cards gets stolen. Go here for the offer: www.linuxfund.org * I believe that not every purchase can be made this way. One example is when the physical card needs to be "swiped" after making a purchase; as is common when buying movie tickets online. -- ~'`^`'~=-.,__,.-=~'`^`'~=-.,__,.-=~'`^`'~=-., \|/ (___) \|/ _,.-=~'`^` @~./'O o`\.~@ "Knowledge is Power" /__( \___/ )__\ *PPPFFBT!* -- Francis Bacon `\__`U_/' _,.-=~'`^`'~=-.,__,.-=~'`^`'~=-.,__,.-=~'`^`'~= <____|' ^^`'~=-.,__,.-= ~`'^`'~=-.,__,.-=~'`^`'~=-.,__,.-=~'`^`'~=-.,__,.-==--^'~=-.,__,.-=~'`^`
