Goodbye hotmail

sdtPikachu · 10-27-2002, 09:01 AM

Right. I've totally had it with the fscking hotmail site. Ages ago, it was telling me that it wouldn't work with opera (which, despite MS's protests, is a far more advanced browser than IE), and even trying with Mozilla brought up the same error messages.

Now I can't access the thing at all, because the site is so retarded it won't let you in unless you have cookies enabled.

But what's that? Oh yes, I DO have session cookies enabled, and just so I cold see how retarded this site was, I even set it to not throw away cookies on session end. But no, hotmail insists that I use a browser that it can actually "work" with, namely IE, which I refuse to use on principle.

Goodbye ****ing hotmail, and Mr. Gates you can take your ****ey spam infested webmail site and stuff it up your arse along with all the bloated huge pages ful of advertising crap, the dll's hidden in pages and your constant ****ing insistance that only browsers made by YOUR company can work with what is the most turgid webmail interface on the planet. It would give me no greater pleasure than to just kick you and your company's ****ing teeth in and then make you gnaw your own limbs off whilst I make you debug Windows in 3 hours lest your penis gets chopped off by a rusty breadknife.

**** you, **** your company, and **** your computers. Not now and not ever am I ever going to buy one of your products ever ever again. And no, I'm not even going to warez them either. You just aren't worth the ****ing hassle.

I think that Hotmail is a great site. I mean, I only use it occasionally, so I have no problems with it.

Hotmail is a terrible site. If it were my only source of e-mail, I would go crazy.

It's funny, though. I use Mozilla now (Netscape 7 demands too much of my computer), and I logged onto Hotmail just fine.

PLease explaing that, because I think that hotmail is great.... I just want to know why you don't like it so much.

I don't understand why you have such a grudge against using Internet Explorer. I assume that like on Macs, it's not as fast as the main competition Netscape. And the small, weakly pawns like Opera, iCab, etc. But it's compatible with most content and formats found on the internet so why not use it?

And why aren't you using the e-mail provided by your ISP?

I also hate hotmail. Everyday I get 30 new messages of spam. I try blocking it but it still keeps coming. I use Yahoo too. That's not too bad. Better than hotmail I guess.

Evidently, sdtPikachu has some issues...

bobcat · 10-27-2002, 04:04 PM

Never seen a pikachu get that mad over hotmail

nWoCHRISnWo · 10-27-2002, 04:11 PM

People always hate anything that's popular. I don't see any problems with hotmail at all.

Xantar · 10-27-2002, 04:19 PM

Hotmail runs slowly for me even when I'm surfing with my G4 at home on a cable connection. And highlighting all the messages for disposal takes a long time because I'll click on the box and then wait half a second while the entire line gets highlighted in blue before I can check the box next to the next message I want to delete. I can't for the life of me understand why it happens because it doesn't seem that complex, but it happens. I know it's not unique to my particular setup because the same thing happens on public computers at college, too.

And believe me, when you're using Hotmail, you have to delete a lot of messages.

I don't know about sdtPikachu, but I don't really hate Internet Explorer. I just don't think it's the best browser.

Joeiss · 10-27-2002, 05:48 PM

How much are you asking for a browser? I mean, Internet Explorer is great, IMO. I do not see ANYTHING wrong with it.

Angrist · 10-27-2002, 05:51 PM

I do. Well at least I did some day... *tries to remember*
Oh yeah I hate it how hard it is to copy an url of a picture for example... that's one thing that's wrong with it.

Xantar · 10-27-2002, 06:14 PM

Well, two things that I like in particular about Mozilla are that it suppresses pop-ups (haven't seen a single one since I started using it. I even visited a porn site to test it out and the results were great...um, that came out wrong...), and that it has tabbed browsing. There are other things, but those are what sold me. It's not like it cost me anything to switch.

Remember, just because I don't think that IE is the best browser doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. It just means I think there's a better one.
