Hmm. If they can't ship out of the country, they can't - right? ;)

in Ma.gnolia FAIL, Or: Rendering OpenID Useless on carlo.comments
I am afraid that I must agree Carlo's post. The idea of OpenID is not to give websites the possibility to authenticate users but give the user the comfort not to have to provide additional data. I bet there you will have quite a drop-off rate. All additional data requested from the user should be optional. Of this makes no sense to your service the OpenID support itself makes no sense. Just my topence.

factoryjoe Well, just because you use OpenID doesn't mean that site operators can't demand that you provide additional information in creating your account. Just because you show up to a bar with your ID doesn't mean that they have to let you in.

I do see an opportunity for Ma.gnolia to improve the messaging and flow in this case, but perhaps it has more to do with your expectations about using OpenID then with Ma.gnolia's implementation. Can you explain where you got the impression that a site shouldn't be able to require additional information when you sign up?

Or take "Array::AsHash" which treats the array as a hash. Then use :
$i=$array->aindex('foo');

Ouch. This reminds me of a very good movie with Robert de Niro:

Phugg! I missed something today. May I use this in a Comic strip? Or do I have to ask A first? Would not have to fudge a story then.
