    Seriously, who would have thought the FAST.(fast) system could ever get overloaded? By a zip code lookup, no less.

    It maybe been time to try again.

    Oh, but Nathan Redding is a pseudonym. The zero percent loan was actually offered to Henry Paulson and a few of his friends.

    Well, in theory, for four-digit-pins, one in ten thousand customers should have the pin "0000".

    If they excluded those pins (e.g. exclude all pins where digits appear twice), they'd greatly reduce the security of the system!

    My PIN is 0000. It's the only one I remember.

    Seriously, the biggest brain fuck I ever got from an alert box was:

    Are you sure you do not want to abort? [No] [Cancel]

    That's on the same level as alcohol being an anti-diuretic inhibitor. You really have to think that one out to figure out it makes you piss more (not common knowledge among Muslims and Baptists).

    If you have 4 digit pins and you don't lock out users on 3 failures, then you already have crap security,

    The header says 'find a zip code by entering an address', so naturally, the zip code isn't required. Question is, what happens if you enter a partial addy like they suggest?

    Ack, zero times +infinity is an undefined positive quantity. That means the bank could ask you for anything at all.

    Better to ask for a finite but large amount, like: [pinky to mouth] one trillion dollars! [maniacal laughter]

  • Colin Gormley (unregistered)

    I wish I could get a interest free loan.

    According to the loan sheet it looks like our economic problems are because banks forgot how to make money off of loans? And here I thought it was the other way around.

    Sprint hosed their login system about a year ago as well. No matter what I tried, I was unable to get a working account associated with my phone for the last 6 months I used their service.

    I tried the "lost password" tool, the "lost username" tool, registering new accounts with the same number... I was never able to log in.
