A while back someone mentioned a credit card that supports Linux. This is
cool, but it gets better. The card is offered from MBNA and their cards
have the ability to generate Virtual Numbers. The Virtual Numbers are
valid between 1 and 12 months and are given an upper limit on credit
associated with them.
This means that almost every(*) online purchase you make can be done w/ a
different number. This would go a long way in protecting you from fraud
when (these days it seems when, not if) the site's database of thousands of
credit cards gets stolen.
Go here for the offer: www.linuxfund.org
* I believe that not every purchase can be made this way. One example is
when the physical card needs to be "swiped" after making a purchase; as is
common when buying movie tickets online.
