    Discover has a "Secure Online" number option which you can generate from your browser or they have some free desktop app. "Speed through check-out forms in one click. Create and save a free secure online number for every online purchase." I have not used the discover version yet. I don't use my discover card often as the cash back is "up to" and doesn't accumulate as well.

    I wouldn't characterize that thread as useful "news".

    That's why people who do donate to wikipedia don't have any problem doing that :)

    When I was in grade school I was thankful to be given my grandparents' encyclopedia set and a friend of the family gave me a huge atlas. My parents couldn't afford to buy these new. We have come a long way.

    I don't have any problem donating to wikipedia,--I don't donate.

    I dont give money away --your confusing me with bill Gates.

    If I gave money to everyone that asked of me I would have none for myself and no one would give me any would they.

    Sometimes you encounter angels and are unaware they are. One day they will testify how you treated them.
    Maybe no one is worried you may be an angel in disguise, Frosty.
    :D

    You are right. But you have to buy the paper encyclopedia, that make the difference.
