Still not convinced that Hotmail is the crappiest service in the world?
For the love of God, BOYCOTT THE USE OF HOTMAIL!!!
http://home.primus.ca/~bakht/boycotthotmail.png I honestly couldn't care less that I've released this info publically..... I rarely, if ever, use hotmail. Besides, MS seems to enjoy broadcasting it to the world anyway. |
LOL :D
Hotmail does pretty much suck, doesn't it? --- Spinning in :winamp: ~ Metallica - One --- |
Haha. :D That's great. If you aer going to use Hotmail, you might as well leave your usename and password taped to your desk. :) Maybe this is part of their "free" plan. You get some actual security only if you pay . . .

Visions of BUHM (Boycott Use of Hotmail) danced in his head.....
/me opens up EmEdit to do some HTML coding |
OMG. Hotmail is that bad? what a pos. Yahoo mail is awesome.
|
MyRealbox all the way..
(Yahoo's great too though.) |
I'm a lazy ass bastard. If someone with the l33t skillz wants to donate their time and talent to create a nice, pretty, cross-browser compatible page for BUHM, I'd gladly host all files, images, etc. Hotmail must die a horrible death. I will not rest until I see it so :mad:
requirements (if you are interested in making a page): -Quick to load -Just 1 page (I want to keep my web directory clean) -A section for displaying screenshots of the follies of Hotmail 9such as the one above) -Mission statement (I will write it) -CSS (embedded in the <head> would be preferable) so it's easy for me to maintain -In essence, a template for me to work from. I like the BURP site I will do all maintenance and updates (not likely needed, because Hotmail's service is as crappy as it was 1 year ago :p). |

Do they not realize that their users use Hotmail in public locations, where they do not have complete monitor/screen privacy? After all, isn't one of their selling points that you can use Hotmail wherever you are? Such as internet cafes or libraries... seriously, they may as well remove the password char from the password box. Pathetic. |
well, all i use hotmail for is my porn emails (i get at least 50 a day!) so its still good for that.:) but you're completely right. people have been given a false sense of security. another reason why microsoft can suck my balls!
|
MS is just using stop gap measures for their many security flaws. There was that big fufarraw about people being able to sign into your account, so they implemented SSL. Yet they didn't solve any problems. Thinking that your password was protected from hackers by SSL protection, they left your password unecrypted, not caring that it's fully visible to anyone within 10ft of your monitor. They won't care until several hundred users have their accounts logged into without their authorization. Spread the word. Hotmail is evil.
|
I prefer to use my email account from my ISP.
|
I got a myrealbox account because the file limit restrictions on Hotmail are more than annoying. The service is great with that account now :)
|
Didn't do that when I tried logging in - just the usual ?curmbox= business.
|
that's after a couple of forwards.

yeah hotmail is crrrrap.
I should move all my contacts to my ISP email, but im so f'n lazy. :( Pathetic:down: |
I am a twisted lazy barstard.
I use AOL mail. I eat chicken heads. I use AOL mail. I go on killing sprees. I use AOL mail. Mainly because i am too lazy to go to Yahoo, Log in. Look through them. Everything above is false except, i really do use AOL mail. |
Like I have said before, Hotmail sucks.
Use Yahoo! Do you Yahoo? ~ Missy |

I receive spam on my Yahoo account too.

Hotmail sucks nut
My Hotmail kicks ass for porn, I'm constantly finding new ways to give it to my girlfriend, but for a good email service I think I'll stick to my Outlook Express.
|
deathazre, that is priceless! How stupid are these pepole?
|
I use Hotmail, its not that bad. It doesn't show my username/psswd when I log on. I get over 100 e-mails from Winamp.com Forum Replies daily. I rip off Hotmail.:D
|
I still blame Micro$oft for the Hotmail's debacle.
Yahoo, well I rarely use it. Hotmail is still (presently)good. |

and many, many more reasons. *That equates to 683 spam messages (at 3kb a piece) before your important emails are automatically deleted. At 20 spam messages a day (conservative figure) at the highest filtering setting, it will only take 34 days before your messages start to get deleted. Pathetic. |

does anyone else sense some serious gramatical errors in the first part of that reply? :p I do. Which is very funny.

B) Why is this from Sharon and the first from June? C) It appears that they just use a bot to scan emails for common questions, and send a canned reply. |

I quite like hotmail.

I like hotmail and all I can say is, what happed with your Hotmail account in that pic? When I log in, I made a movie of the whole sign-in and -out process and not once, did hotmail reveal my username or password in letters, unless it was numerically coded. Did you edit that yourself?
How did you log on (private, public or none (at hotmail))? What version of IE are you using? |
i use bigfoot and just forward it to my main address. So far, spam free. the only downside i guess is that it has to be forwarded, you cant view it through a webpage.
|
there's 2 or 3 steps to the hotmail login.
|
I can't even get into hotmail. All i get is a 404 when I sign in.:hang:

Odd, my URL does NOT show my username and password when i log in. Im given this:
http://lw8fd.law8.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/hmhome?curmbox=F000000001&a=253bccbbc848d47065b5337c8870bc4e&fti=yes&_lang=EN Lain, in IE go to Help, and About IE, and check your Cypher Strength. It needs to say 128-bit, if it says 0, then you cannot log onto hotmail, because hotmail uses 128-bit emcryption. If it shows 0, redownload and re-install IE from microsoft.com |
The reinstall worked. Thanks.:)

whetehr it happens all the time or just 1 in every 1E9999 times doesn't matter. It shouldn't matter how you log in, when you log in, or if you log in whilst hanging upside down from a tree, it shouldn't happen! EVER! It shouldn't happen at all. I use Talk21 mail (guess the website), it's a bit slow at times, but it works and i don't get any spam.

Hotmail is pretty bad, but I still use it, too lazy to use something else...
I got a new Hotmail account and DID NOT turn the Junk Mail Filter on. They say this will forward "Junk" to your Junk Mail folder. And it does, but not all of it. Truth is, is that people and companies get your email address through lists of people who've turned the Filter on. Hotmail keeps the lists and distrubutes them. So I don't get any junk mail at all on my new account. |
