Re: The topic of 750 pages. Seriously, that's it.

[Hi no Seijin]

I can't believe I'm about to ask a serious question in the Chatboard, but I didn't want to clutter up the GD Board with this question.

So, I've been getting e-mails from Blizzard lately about a World of Warcraft account I don't have.  Last month, I changed the password to my e-mail account, and right around that time I stopped getting the e-mails from Blizzard.  But earlier this week, I got an e-mail from Blizzard Europe, and I commented on it on Facebook.  I asked if I should change my password again (one person did suggest that such changes should be made once a month), and someone suggested it might be time for a new e-mail account.

So, I've been using Hotmail for years.  Should I keep on using Hotmail, or switch to something else?

Try blocking their e-mail address. Assuming they don't have a lot of threaded addresses, it should help you out.

[Hi no Seijin]

Well, that wasn't the question I asked....Not to mention I'm not really sure how to block addresses in Hotmail.  The e-mails from Blizzard show up as junk mail anyway.

Lalalala....

Oh, I'm aware of what you asked. I guess it logically follows that going along with blocking the e-mail address implies continuing using Hotmail. Not to worry, though; I found a tutorial to block e-mail addresses.

As for my personal reason about suggesting this method is that, really, it makes little difference if, in the end, your e-mail address is only going to be sniffed anyway. It should be considered good practice for Web developers to encrypt e-mail addresses before they're put into the page's source code to begin with, so that shouldn't have to be your problem. It just sounds like more hassle than it's worth, especially since your spam filter appears to be doing its job just fine anyway.

[Hi no Seijin]

Thanks for the link, Mags, but I actually figured out how to block addresses before coming here.

And really, it's not just getting junk mail; I'm wondering if there's an e-mail provider out there that's better than Hotmail.

nope

[Hi no Seijin]

Thanks; I haven't been able to sleep without someone answering me.  Now I can stop looking like a zombie! :D

Actually, Gmail is amazing and I highly recommend it.

[Hi no Seijin]

I'll look into Gmail.

Moving on....

Oh, hey, JoeLink was right about Hyrule being on Earth; he just got the location wrong.  Last night, I had a dream that absolutely proves that Hyrule was in the middle of Africa while it was a part of Pangaea.  See, that's why there's no record of it!  Dinosaurs ate Hyrule!

[Hi no Seijin]

So, I'm watching Curse of the Black Pearl, and it just got to the part where Mr. Cotton and his parrot are introduced with the rest of the crew.  For those who don't remember, Mr. Cotton is the pirate whose tongue was cut out.  And now I'm wondering if it's completely impossible to talk without a tongue at all.  I've tried talking without moving my tongue at all, and I seem to have talked well enough, but I doubt it's the same thing.

[MagmarFire]

I was kind of under the impression that he also simply refuses to talk because of his lack of tongue.

[Hi no Seijin]

Ah.  If so, that might explain how he taught his parrot how to talk for him.

[Pale Dim]

It's a mystery!
