i've been thinking about subscribing however i'm not sure about the method of paying for the subscription (paypal).. i've seen some people claiming online that paypal is bad and that they might abuse/clear-out your credit card.. for those who are subscribed, is paypal actually safe to use?

Yes PayPal is safe.

Just as safe as anything on the Internet. If you click on a phishing link and give out your account login and password info, yes you can be scammed.

Practice Safe Surfing and PayPal is perfectly safe.

Paypal is as safe as giving your card to a waiter in a restaurant and allow him to walk away with it. :)

And rest assure, the beauty about credit cards that payments are insured and can be retracted if something goes wrong.

I really should obtain a credit card one of these days. It's becoming more and more difficult to walk into stores and buy $10,000 supercomputers with a stack of $1 bills.

What if you can't use paypal (I can't because it doesn't exist in my country) and you want to subscribe?

It's also possible to send cash, but US-dollars so that Ben doesn't have to go and get them exchanged :)

You can find the address on the subscription page, and alternatively substitute "Hypothetical Software" with "Ben Ringold".

It's also a good idea to put paper, foil or something around the money so that it's not possible to see or feel through the envelope that it contains money :)

Money order will do the trick.

I'm not sure about money order, is it possible or not, but I like the first idea. Thank you both.
