  5. paypal sucks, dont let your CC expire on PayPal Brings Mobile Payments To U.S. · · Score: 1

    my CC expired, forgot I hadnt update paypal, tried to use paypal, was denied obviously, I tried to change the exp in my settings, it wouldnt let me, paypal has no way of changing a CC's exp and not the CC's number, thats how captial one does it, same CC num, new exp.

I cant add that number anymore, after numberous calls and emailed they tell me its capital ones problem and to tell them to issue a new card.

    Like

    - Any Kings Quest

    Software developers have to start taking the speed their software runs into their own hands, they cant just assume intel will up the mhz therfore their apps will run faster, if they want their apps to run faster their going to have to start taking advantage of those extra cores
