linuxfund credit card



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.
