Hi Bryan, Ahem... Yes, that is possible, but most sites now require the 3 digit varification code on the back of the card which the cell phone would unlikely get a picture of. Anyway, we are really really getting off topic. I'm going to close down the topic. Thanks. Bryan Peterson wrote: And,

Hi Josh, Well, to be honest most of the open source free games are not as near the complexity of Tank Commander, Lonewolf, etc. Even if they were I doubt he would fully grasp the source code unless he has been programming for a while at a intermediate to advanced level. Josh wrote: why not

Hi Andy, That would really make me happy if you did. (Smile) LikeI said in my earlier post polls are often misleading in they don't release the sources of the poll. If they said 75% of network admins say the internet is very unsecure for online shopping I would be really worried. If they say

Hi Ron, Yep. Money orders are good. However, They would be tough if we are handling different currencies. I don't mind excepting them if they are in U.S. dollars, but would not like them if they started showing up as Euros, Pounds, you name it. Ron Schamerhorn wrote: And there is also the old

Hi Shaun, Good points there. Keep in mind BSC Games, Draconis, GMA, etc have really good track records with taking your orders online. They are what we would call trusted sites. However, there have been some real scares for lets say computer users that look for porn on the net, and give there

Also there are lagit consumer watch sites you can go and look at. The product you buy will usually have reviews of what its all about and almost everything is rated. Before buying my entire family check consumer reviews. This means a load of extra net searching, but its better to find out

Hi Davy, The sad truth is people like Andy would crack and steel games wether they are the greatest games or the worse games on the market. His complaint is the games are over priced, but considering all the games he is complaining about were all written by single developers with little cash,

Hi David, Andy has a good point about replay value, and as you said some games aren't worth playing. However, using that as an excuse to steell the games is just out right wrong. Some games such as Lonewolf, Tank Commander, Shades of Doom, Sarah, etc are well worth the time and money to play

Hi Bryan, People like Andy probably won't put game developers out of business, but it will make them take stronger measures to secure their products. For example, I am at current looking at two methods to secure my new titles. One is I can secure using hardware ID, but that can be broken.

I think railracer uses this per system. We are allowed to backup our activation licence file, but it will not work on a new system. If you did that tom if there was an option to backup my licence file I wouldn't mind. At 09:44 a.m. 3/07/2007, you wrote: Hi Bryan, People like Andy probably won't
