[ long lines fixed ] : There was a big discusion in one of the slashdot.org poles awhile : back, I believe the pole was something like "would you use (or do you : trust) online shopping?". The consensus of the discussion was that : it's actually SAFER to give your credit card # over the web. For the : million different reasons, I suggest you look up this pole on the : slashdot page and read it. I never trusted online commerce before, but : now I use it often. Who's talking about security?
