You'd probably be better off getting a debit/check card, which is what I have; the convenience of a credit card without having to have credit.

The "legal age" is 18, btw.

If you have to ask, I worry.

Also, eBay has/is buying out PayPal; that can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your point of view.

Hmmm... Debit sounds like a better idea to me, but my parents don't like how insecure it is. If someone laid hands on your debit card... well... it'd be bad. I don't what I'm going to do, but I know one thing; I will be getting a credit or debit card in about 3 months... I just cannot live without being able to buy stuff for my computer. My parents are crazily overprotective, which I don't blame them for, they have more to protect, and it is hard to get my sister to help me out all the time. I just want to be able to buy mac stuff. It is a necessary evil.

The debit card has a security number to be used as an actual ATM card; you sign for it when you use it as a credit card. It's no less secure than a credit card, and it pulls the money straight from your checking account, so it's a lot easier than a credit card.

If they're still worried about it, I'm surprised they even let you use those new-fangled "e-lec-tronic" thingamabobs.

No, they're worried about someone getting the number. It's not physically handling it so much as having access. Drawing from checking is easier, but it leaves you wide open.

Well, as long as you aren't a dumbass and don't paste the number over and over in various places, you'll be fine. If someone just uses common sense, their number won't get out there (mine isn't, and I use it to get cash and to fill up my tank, as well as at my favorite restaurant).

It is a board, a huge one at that. That was actually directed at pike, sorry about that.

np, just be specific next time.

some boards do support visual signatures (mine, the GTA3 forums, and a couple other i know of), so i can see how its easily confused.

Synotic, do you think you could email me? I have a couple of questions/suggestions/comments for you that I'd rather not discuss on the boards. Email address is (url="http://"mailto:evula@evula.com")mailto:evula@evula.com(/url)evula@evula.com

Just to keep you guys updated, I am still going ahead with this here's a preview of what's to come:

(url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/phobosdownloads/pop-pop-shhhhh/")Preview of pop-pop, the missing manual(/url)

If possible I'd appreciate it if it weren't passed around exxcept for friends or other players of course. I just don't want anyone thinking it's a final copy. I still have many things to add and to fix. Stuff like the Mini-T thing where I say you shouldn't flood, 2 people told me they think that the next attack will start immediatly after the last? Anyone can confirm or deny this? Thanks I am going to get mugshots of each of the pops up there soon and perhaps a special or too and I have someone submitting an article.. So it's coming along Thanks for your interest.

Looks good. Sadly Apple is pulling free iTools services. If you do finish this, and it is really good, I just may give you some free free web space with no ads..

Looks good, but I think you should break up the page so that there are multiple pages, rather than one large page.

Don't worry about that, anklebiter, I believe that he's already found some space.
