The only one I know of is Superbook but that is intended for a very young audience. I would try convincing your mom that Neon Genesis Evangelion is a Christian allegory, which wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

It's one more place that I have to give info to. I was hoping to find a replacement for all places I had been using the Paypal for. I just happen to be needing one for Amazon right now, but.

I guess I need to look for a credit card, or better yet a debit card issuing bank, that has this service. Any suggestions for such a place?

What I want is an online bank that offers a debit card that includes the ability to generate temporary credit card number like the PayPal plug in used to.

Why in the world would you rather use a debit card for online purchases than a credit card? You're not liable for fraudulent charges on a credit card (or at the very most a $50 maximum). Debit card charges on the other hand come straight out of your bank account and are a lot harder to undo.

I do not want to use either. I want to use a one time card number, but Paypal stopped offering the service.

I do not want to use actual credit cards for anything. But I have to use a number that looks like a credit card online.

Get a checking account (do you have one?) and a check card. You use it exactly like a credit card (anywhere, including through paypal), but it deducts money from your checking account so you never spend money you don't have and aren't charged interest.

Someone who's paranoid about giving a traditional CC # to amazon should no way in hell be giving a bank's debit card # out to anyone.

kapalama: maybe a reloadable debit card? It's not a one time # like you want but you could load it up with only the amount you want to spend each time. If someone gets your # and tries to buy poo poo they will fail cause there's nothing there. Walgreens has them and gas stations too.


Comedy option: just keep your regular credit card maxed all the time so no fraudulent purchases go through. When you want to buy $60 in gas, pay $60 of the balance off.

Are more or less all American cell phone plans (or at least ones in the Northeast) nationwide, i.e. no extra charge to call to any area code? Recently re-relocated Canadian here and I need to know this. It seems to be that way but I just want to make sure.

As far as I know, there's no cell phone company that charges extra as long as the calls are still in the US. I know people who bought east coast numbers even through they live in the west coast just so their nights and weekends start earlier.

I imagine it would be a nightmare tracking that stuff with congested placed of the country if they did, especially places with an overlay (I have to dial another area code to reach my neighbor.)

If you use the big 4 carriers you don't have that, nor do you have roaming charges for making a call outside a certain area (like Canadian plans also have).

Also getting a phone number in a different area code won't change when nights and weekends starts, they know where your phone is.

Just peel them up and then get the adhesive off with something. Alcohol + paper towel or alcohol wipes from the first aid cabinet have always worked fine for me* on any kind of plastic without hurting it.

Use a hair dryer to melt the glue before peeling off the sticker.

I can't tell you which bank does this, but dear god, you'll trust a company as skeevy as paypal with your CC number but not Amazon? What kind of magical delusional fantasy land do you live in? Just sign up for Amazon and only use merchants that accept Amazon Payments or PayPal and forget using credit cards altogether.

It's not for Amazon, it's for random places on the internet.

Not two months ago someone asked this question, in this thread, and got answers to who does the issuing of one time used credit card numbers. I just need the same info that someone else got in this thread, that at the time I did not bookmark.

My Comcast connection has been ridiculously slow in the evenings and mornings. What can I try before calling Comcast to fix the issue? So far I've tried a couple different computers, powering off the modem and router, and connecting to just the modem. When I try speedtest.net, the latency and download speeds are normal, but the upload always fails. If I ping from the command line, I get timeouts about every ten attempts.

All the companies I know of (AmEx, citibank, and paypal) that offered that service have discontinued it. The rise of payment processors more suited to internet use, such as PayPal, Amazon Payments, and Google Checkout have rendered one-off credit card numbers obsolete. (Which were always a lousy hack designed to provide an extra measure of security to a payment system that was never meant to be used without a physical presence anyway.)

So let me repeat,

My question is about USA and 'freedom of speech'. As far as I can tell, the only difference between USA and other first world countries is that some speech is classified 'hate speech' in other countries, that you can say in the USA. WBC would not be legal in most first world countries. Is that the only difference? I mean, you can say you 'loving hate the queen' or whatever in the UK and I don't think it's illegal, is it?

From Wikipedia:

quote:

Laws concerning hate speech outside of obscenity, defamation and incitement to riot are illegal in the United States.[36][37][38] The United States federal government and state governments are broadly forbidden by the First Amendment of the Constitution from restricting speech.[39] Even in cases where speech encourages illegal violence, instances of incitement qualify as criminal only if the threat of violence is imminent.[40] This strict standard prevents prosecution of many cases of incitement, including prosecution of those advocating violent opposition to the government, and those exhorting violence against racial, ethnic, or gender minorities.[41]

So basically, in the US, hate speech is legal, but defamation, obscenity and incitement to riot are not; but even then, it's up to a judge to determine if the speech in question fits one of those categories or not. There aren't any pre-determined words or groups of words that are illegal in every case.
