I just created sdrahcir57@hotmail.com. SA bit of a faff but it works OK.

Nice.
Thanks for the confirmation. I will try it again.

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Richard is right - it's been about 4 years since new hotmail addresses were closed.

Then why are they still being offered when registering a new address?
Check it.
I had right now:
outlook.de
outlook.com
hotmail.com
in the combobox.

I've noticed that what domains you are offered depends on what country you're in and/or what country's outlook.* you go to.
For me here in the UK, Outlook gives me a choice of @outlook.com or @hotmail.com for a new address. Annoyingly one cannot choose @hotmail.co.uk (which used to be an option).

Microsoft's password reset system would make Rube Goldberg blush. It has got to be the absolutely worst password reset system ever developed.

Yes it is ironic. But perhaps not surprising if you consider how many times they buried and resurrect COM over the years.

Honestly, can't we have biometrics and end all this password nonsense?
My Chrome says that I have passwords that have been compromised. They give me a list of sites I have logged into. About 1/3 of them are localhost. So, my confidence in that message is low
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly.
And yes, my localhost passwords are critical security vulnerabilities too. I really need a better password other than "password".
Maybe I'll try Password. That's sure to be OK, right?

Well.
That's a first.
I replied to a "do it for me" question yesterday with a boilerplate "we don't do homework" and generally you hear nothing, or get abuse. What the heck, I can live with that.
But ... I just had a "thank you" from the OP, with a promise to try and do it himself in the future.
I've been here nearly twelve years, and that is the first time that has happened!

Do you think the idea will catch on?

I'm amazed it happened the once!

I wonder if he will come back and ask better...
That could increase my faith in humanity after all what is happening in the late times.

I did that and got an email telling me not to be rude to people so I stopped answering questions
|
|
|
|

Good for the OP - heck, sometimes I've been in enough of a sh*t-panic/clusterfvck that I'd really struggle to get out a decent question myself, so sometimes I get it
.. I also have to remind myself that CodeProject != 'SO'

"Oh, interesting, cool."
"Do you have your computer nearby."
"yeah sure, just hold the line please." (Types code, time passes)
"Adam, are you there?"
"yeah sure, just a moment" (Keeps on coding, more time passes)
"Adam?"
"yes yeah sorry" (Keeps on coding, more time passes)
"Adam, can you hear me?"
"mmmmh yeah of course" (Keeps on coding, more time passes)
And repeat! I manage waste some 15 minutes of the elephanter's time. A new record! At least one old lady saved.

... after ten minutes, applies airhorn to telephone: "Oh, sorry - IBS". Continue coding ...

Tip of the hat to you sir! Best I have got is 10 Mins...

I'm rethinking my hang-up without saying a word habit...
Your method seems far more enjoyable.

Excellent!
I play Words with Friends, and it's sad how people (when I actually have a free slot) ask to play a game with me, make a couple lame moves and start chatting and trying to get me to invest in bitcoin or binary trading. It's fun telling the latter that binary trading is illegal in almost every country, and then reporting and blocking them. Same with the bitcoin people, BTW.

My phones (POI Land lines) have a spam-call blocker in running (works pretty well). Of those that get through, if I don't see a caller I know then I don't answer.
I didn't realize, until now, what I have been missing !

Well done. I had a scammer tell me to f* off after I kept him on the line for about 20 minutes.
