I don't understand why they don't replace the 3 digit secuity code with a matrix on the back of the physical card, and when asked for CC details you are asked to provide the numbers/letters at given points in the matrix (e.g. Please enter security codes A3, B9 and T7), which can then be verified by the bank.
Sure, it's not completely secure, but it's a hell of a lot more secure than 3 fixed numbers. I guess the banks would consider this as too complicated for ma and pa Bloggs, but surely they could offer it as a choice for people who shop online a lot.
so how long before I can buy a 600" BEC TV?
OK, I know I can't make a TV out of it, but it there anything I can make out of it?
A Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster perhaps?
Or maybe a cool "crazy frog killing" ray gun?
(I know it may be a shock, but I am not actually a physicist!)
actually - I heard from my aunt's friends friend who she met on jerry springer's son that Google are writing an OS....
and its based on FreeBSD and OSX, with full apple support and its all open source and free and the shareholders at Google have decided they've made enough money and are donating any money accidently made to charity.
......But mice are already the most inteligent animal on the planet and have been experimenting on us for years........
if only we listened to those damn dolphins......
screw telling me who my friends are - I want a phone that automatically takes a picture of a girl in a bar I am trying to give my number to, sends it to a central server and - according to soberly entered preferences - tells me wether I will regret sleeping with her or not;-)

Just had a look at the micro$oft digital image suite after other posters claimed it was as good as photoshop elements, and the demo is in Flash :-)
