  1. Re:How much is it a problem? on Why Are CC Numbers Still So Easy To Find? · · Score: 1

    Simple really,

    Get the credit card info, make purchases online, have them shipped to a P.O. Box with a false ID. Or trick someone into receiving and forwarding the package to you on your behalf.

    takes a while before the CC company can catch on and stop you.

  2. Why a central book db on Internet Book Database? · · Score: 1

    For two good reasons:
    1.
    I am currently developing an online application for college students to list their books for sale to each other. It would be nice to ask for only an ISBN and populate my listings with CORRECT info, it's also be nice to have one record per book. Not one for "john doe, title" and "johhn doee, titlle". Easier to validate, good data coherency and accuracy.

    2.
    it costs frickin $30,000 a year for the definitive resource, I cannot afford it, my free service will not use it. So there!
