The Case for OpenID
·
· Score: 0
If you're on Blogger and require a Blogger account for comments, what's to prevent spammers from getting hundreds of Blogger accounts? Nothing. Same goes for every traditional account system, same goes for OpenID. It's not a problem that can be solved with authentication alone.
"You have to alter the HEAD portion of an HTML document that you own to authenticate yourself..."
No you don't. Every OpenID provider (myopenid.com, etc) gives you a URL that you can use as your OpenID with no code or techy-knowledge required. Only if you want to use you own site do you need to know code.
As for running your own server, several of the good existing ones have already been linked to.
What is this, incompatability in the name of compatability? Y!IM is the only IM system that I DON'T need to be compatable with, sounds like a publicity stunt to me.
The point of RSS is simple... you can check a whole bunch of site from one place (your feed reader). I don't want to have to load ever webpage/newsservice/blog that I check frequently when I want to see if there's something new.
Let me get this straight. I agree it's a good idea to remove tld's from US controll to avoid being controlled and manpiulated by such a large and powerfull political entity that coulnd't care less about my rights online. Anyone else see the irony here?
Ya, really, the US really cares about anything outside it's borders:P The Internet is safe in their hands because they don't know there IS anyone else, but what if they find out?:O
Talk? Sure, but what if your friends are scattered around the world? IM? Sure, but blogs are just plain fun. Maybe you have a tight job, maybe you have a lot to do, but for those of us who have time for a social life we have time for some fun too. In a personal blog its not about the information, it's about the author. It's fun to read just because of who wrote it. Then there are the discussions on blogs, you can get into awesome and germane discussions about why Bush won and why he didn't and whatever else. As for official news-type blogs, these are worth it because they give you the information you want when you want it. You don't have to wait for it to come on TV or the radio or w/e, it's just there.
I actually find that I like the movie better than I thought it would be from the trailer. I have watched many trailers and thought "Well that movie isn't going to be worth watching", and then watched it and it was pretty good. I do not find I am often disappointed by movies for which I have seen the trailers. They may pick the most exciting parts of the movie for the trailers, but often they have decent filler too, despite what you may have read on Movie A Minute.
Except that half the reason a lot of people switch to broadband is so they don't have to either hold a second phone line or not be able to receive/place calls while online. For someone like me who is online all day, that could be a problem. Sure, the speed is nice, but the freedom is nicer.
What's the difference? These 'free' people keep crushing good things! If they're losing money that's their problem and no one else's! Why is it that if someone does something poorly it becomes everyone else's problem?
We can now store more data in memory than we could ever store at all before. With the speeds of all kinds of chips going up at amazing rates imagine what speeds will be like in 5 more years! If only software used these resources more efficiently we could have instant-operation systems!
Totally, although politics may be a big deal in the west, in the east and in Africa barely anyone cares because they figure, "What has the government done for me?" or "How does this affect me?" they don't care because it really doesn't affect them where they're at.
They can change the law if they want, they're the government. Governments sometimes listen to their people, but no matter what the law says, they can always change it.
Only progress by another nation can lead to progress in the US, and even then the progress is only used to implement wasteful techniques... we're doomed!
>I look forward to IPv6 just because it will kill the random port scanning by all the Windoze worms.
It will? Just how will it do that? It'll just make it less likely that they'll hit you, that's all, they cann still port scan at random will.
lol, Linux is great, but not if you're running a PI, 166 Mhz with only 256MB RAM and a 1GB harddrive. Most distros won't fit right and both KDE and GNOME apps crash
Yeah, but putting work into a magnetic storage technology is just asking for trouble. Magnetic storage tends to go corrupt very easily if it gets warm or dusty. These companies had better have large cold-storage rooms for these tapes. I think they should work on getting optical medium to this level, after all, who care how much you can store if you can't keep it?

...a lot :P they're always finding 'new evidence' of 'recent' water or oxygen etc on Mars... nothing ever comes of it
Hello is an IM program in it's own right, owned and operated by Google.

Sure, but that's what RSS is for. So you don't have to go to all the different sites, just open your reader.
25C is freezing! Even if you were trying to be funny, come to Africa, we need something like 30C to be comfortable!

While we're at it, why don't we behead those who complained of the crime as well? Then they won't sound any more false alarms.
So what do we call it? "MS compatable"?

You can surf the whole web this way with many more "Dialects" to choose from at rinkworks.com on the Dialectizer.
There are plenty of people living in the sahara desert who would not like it if you pave their land with solar panels.
