I think these look pretty cool. They got the idea from their client, Theory11.

Re: Hacker Playing Cards
Seems to me it's more like a survey to gauge it's popularity and demand. I filled it up regardless.

Re: Hacker Playing Cards
I'm half expecting an email making fun of how gullible we were instead of an actual deck. Heh.hikeeba wrote:I think it's an object lesson on how easy it is to get someone's information....

Re: Hacker Playing Cards
Well I already received a bulk email from them. Both Bicycle and Theory 11 are listed as their clients, so giving away free cards is just an ad campaign. Every time someone uses their deck in a card game it's more advertising. And really that's the original intent of USPCC's custom card division.

Re: Hacker Playing Cards
I would tend to agree. This kind of freebie isn't much more than a small marketing campaign for them.Ben Taylor wrote:Well I already received a bulk email from them.

Re: Hacker Playing Cards
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they ever mentioned the word "free" anywhere.

Re: Hacker Playing Cards
I'll guess that people who are into cards may not get a response or, if they do, will receive a template response. People who are into computer security will (email domain likely playing an important role in their decision on this point).vmagic wrote:Anyone get a response from these guys???
I'm not going to bother registering "impenetrable-network-shielding.com" and submitting with that to find out, though

Re: Hacker Playing Cards
I got the same email. The address fields weren't required when filling out the form, so I didn't bother. At least it's a response.
Re: Hacker Playing Cards
I got an email from these guys:
Hi Jed Frayne,
Your FireHost playing cards are on the way to your door. Now it's time for you to show us your poker face. No, we're serious, post pictures of your best poker face to Twitter hashtag #FireHostFaces or Facebook. Who knows, the best faces may get more FireHost schwag.

That really makes me think they're after our personal information, plus a picture of our face to boot. Seems pretty suspicious, doesn't it?runit wrote:I got an email from these guys:
