What is the advantage of BrowserID over OpenID?-wraith808 (July 16, 2011, 07:12 AM)
OpenID has been criticized in the past for its failure in solving certain security as well as privacy problems. For example, your OpenID provider tracks your activity every time you use its identity to log in any site. Supposedly, BrowserID solves this, but this is a new standard that has not been subjected to a thorough analysis, so the advantages may be a moot point.-Lashiec (July 16, 2011, 07:41 AM)
Can I ask why people are hesitant to reveal who they are?
I just don't get it. Really. I don't mean to be an idiot about this. I just don't get it.-Renegade (July 10, 2011, 04:53 PM)
Basically, they were banned due to their violation of the "community guidelines".-Tuxman (July 07, 2011, 02:53 PM)
According to a couple of German websites, some profiles with an obviously faked name were removed. Oh, and online magazines are deleted anyway because "no business allowed yet". Sigh.-Tuxman (July 07, 2011, 11:00 AM)
My point is you shouldn't have to do that - when you buy a paperback it is yours to do what you like with. Kindle (and any other DRMed) books are legally restricted to the license. You can get round that if you want to break the law but why should you have to when you have paid for the product, but if you don't you could wake up any morning and find titles or even your whole library gone!-Carol Haynes (July 06, 2011, 08:10 PM)
I've never understood what's wrong with reviving old threads. If your post is appropriate to the thread subject and the older discussion is useful context, then it makes more sense to post to an existing thread than make a new one in my view...-JavaJones (July 06, 2011, 02:09 PM)
I'm less concerned about DRM that doesn't let me print or lend or copy my books (although that sucks too), but I find the fact the when I buy a book for my kindle, I'll never be able (without hacks) to read it on a different e-reader (should I decide to buy one) rather annoying.-phitsc (July 04, 2011, 10:37 AM)
You can read it on other devices, as long as that device supports the Kindle Software. Still limiting, but not as much as that statement makes it seem...-wraith808 (July 05, 2011, 05:50 PM)
Agreed. I was specifically thinking about ebook-readers though.-phitsc (July 06, 2011, 01:45 AM)
I got the reference. But explaining a joke is kind of like death warmed over.-MilesAhead (July 05, 2011, 03:22 PM)

Anyways, I don't see how anyone with two brain cells can't figure out how to lock down their Facebook profile from unwanted eyes (though I have a lot of friends with one brain cell, apparently).-wreckedcarzz (June 29, 2011, 07:59 PM)
