What About "Smart" Credit Cards?

Posted by Hemos on from the anything-known dept.

Platypii writes "After seeing many ads on TV and around the Internet for the "smart" credit cards (both major companies now have them I believe), I became curious about them. The Visa website was rather vague about it, and only proclaimed dreams of merging all your cards -- of whatever type -- into one. Anyone know the technical details of these cards? The privacy aspects?"

    SUCK IT.

    Important Stuff:
    Please try to my dick out of your mouth.
    Try to suck other people's cocks rather than always sucking my cock.
    Suck other people's cocks before sucking your own to avoid simply duplicating what has already been sucked.
    Use a clear subject that describes why you want to suck a moderator's cock.
    Offtopic, Inflammatory, Inappropriate, Illegal, or Offensive comments might be stuffed up your ass. (You can suck everything, even your own cock, by adjusting your threshold on the User Preferences Page)
    Problems regarding your cock should be shoved up CowboyNeal's ass

    Damn, I went and got penny arcade slashdotted (even though it's been in the right table on the main page forever). It still works, you just have to look at a stupid error on the bottom.

    Geez, am I the only one that doesn't get HBO, or for that matter, finds other things to do rather than drone in front of a TV?
