Linux Credit Card Re-Launches

An anonymous reader writes "The all-new Linux Fund Visa Card launched on July 24th. The Linux Fund began in 1999, and lasted until Bank of America bought MBNA and canceled the program earlier this year. Before that time the fund had distributed $100,000 a year on average. US Bank has inked a new deal to resurrect the program with new features. Currently, the project is open to ideas for supporting well-loved and community-supported software that is underfunded. The current list of supported projects includes Debian, Wikipedia, FreeGeek, Freenode, and Blender."

    I suggest you go out to the store and buy yourself a sense of humor.

    So if you weren't religious, you would do these things? Automatically? BTW, those are interesting examples of typical atheist behaviour you mention there. I'd know, since I am an atheist(which i became I choose between that and supporting the devil). And you forgot some other things we do: * We start wars over atheistic issues. * We suppress other flavors of atheism. * We expect other to follow inapplicable, ancient atheist laws. I am sure there are many other things i have forgotten.

    I also thought so first. But i don't think so. If it was a joke, it was a really crappy one.

    Well, at least one danish bank allows you to put any image on your credit card. One guy put the Goatse Halloween pumpkin on his.

    Jyske Bank (Bank of Jutland) is one place that offers this service, at $10 per card.
