A Boston Linux Theme



Daughter #4 lost her credit card to scammers.  Evidently,
somewhere in the chain there is someone making a commission
on magazine sales.  MasterCard said that it was not possible
to stop automatic renewal of magazine subscriptions made with
a valid card, even if the card was reported stolen at a later
date as the assumption is that the sale in question was made
at the beginning time and the recurring renewals are deferred
billing, not new charges.  I'm helping her challenge that, but
part of this claim is evidently legally correct.

You are saying "Who cares?" and you're right.  So, given that
one of the magazines she is getting out of nowhere is Dime, which
is evidently a magazine for young black wannabe NBA players and
the culture thereof, I offer this scanned image from the current
issue.  Feel free to copy it -- I won't leave it up forever.
Originally they were facing pages but are now in two parts as
that is the size of the scanner and I don't have any software
to stitch them together.  They're 14MB PNGs converted from TIFs.
