The dashes are irrelevant

One thing that annoys me is when I see a credit card field in an online shop that says "please do not include spaces or dashes." In this world of >3 GHz dual-core processors, is it really that much strain on your web server to filter those characters out? Out of habit, I never enter my card number with punctuation, but it's a good example of a pretty stupid requirement to force onto a user.

What's new

Sleepless in the Seattle Metro Area is the official blog of Travis Spomer.  Look for high-quality Travis Spomer merchandise coming soon.

Views expressed are my own and in no way represent my employer; this is in no way a work blog.  All postings are presented "AS IS" and confer no rights.

Names are generally changed to protect the irrelevant.  Quotes may be paraphrased.  My memory isn't good enough for "details."

Comments you submit become my property.  I can remove or mangle them if I wish, though I probably won't.
