    Around here, we're forbidden from even having them in our cars here, and the footage has no value in a courtroom...

  4. Re: Virtual cards ? on French Banks Offer Credit Card Numbers That Change Every Hour (thememo.com) · · Score: 1

    Makes sense. Considering the method, how dificult would it be to guess/find the seed?

  5. Virtual cards ? on French Banks Offer Credit Card Numbers That Change Every Hour (thememo.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A system was developed some time ago to generate a virtual card, tied to your debit/credit with a short(er) plafond and validity. Also, it is limited to one entity, the first one that actually used the card. It has worked perfectly so far, although certain companies start to get suspicious about the constant adding/removing of cards, like PayPal. Regarding this number changing method, how are the new number generated? How does the bank know that numbers are valid ?

    But they're not incorrectly working 80% of the time, they're incorrectly working once, fixed, and then they work for the rest of the products life.

    So they magically fix themselves?

    If I buy something, I want it to work out of the box. If it didn't work out of the box 80% of the time, I'd call it 'unreliable'. I wouldn't care whether I can download some program from the Internet to fix it, you'd already have lost me as a customer.

    Due tell me how many updates/security fixes/service packs for your favorite OS/Software have you installed?
