oh, bunkum. I'll believe that the credit card companies actually CARE
about security when I see ALL of them implement a solid
number-per-purchase system BY DEFAULT, and move away from this fixed
number garbage permanently. And one that doesn't involve having to run
a windows box with its pants down around its ankles.

When I go to a bank wanting a new card number and phrase it as "time to
change my password, that's good security practice, right?" and basically
get REFUSED, that tells me that the system is hopelessly broken.
