  1. Definition of bought from Spam? on How the Spam Industry is Sustained · · Score: 1

    10% of people buying things from spam e-mails does seem like a lot... but not all spam is Herbal Viagra and Mortgages. I wonder if they're classifying purchases from mailing lists from "respectable" online stores in that figure. For example, if I'm on an ebgames.com mailing list because I've purchased there before, and I get an ad for a sale in my e-mail from them, and buy based on that ad, does that count?

  2. Now you tell us. on Classic Math Puzzle Cracked · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does this mean I've been wasting my CPU cycles?

  3. Re:"Check ID" is against policy on Credit card signatures: Useless? · · Score: 1

    Fair enough, how about both? In my few years spent in retail sales, I have seen on two or three occasions cards with both a signature, and a small note to check ID. Unless you're John Hancock, you should be able to find a little room.

  4. Re:I'm not a fashion snob on Large Publishers Pointing to High Prices · · Score: 1

    Except then you miss out on opportunities to get games by smaller developers that don't get a second print run as greatest hits. Things like Disgaea. Mmm. Disgaea. (Still never got that blasted Yoshitsuna)
