Re: Hey Jerks, Want Gmail?
I don't know any limmericks. I suspect if I tried it would descend into white rapping rather sharpish, so I won't.
If you want to be nice.

Complaint closely resembling a rant about the fact GayMail demands you sign up with a six-letter username.

It depends if you count 'poem' as one or two; 'pome' is how I read it to myself, so obviously only 1 was counted, although I've edited just for you.

Re: Hey Jerks, Want Gmail?
poem might be 1 syllable but its a fairly long syllable so I'd call it 1 and a half. Likewise, fascism is probably 2 and a half. Therefore your line would have been 8 syllables long, practically speaking.

Re: Hey Jerks, Want Gmail?
Looks like I won't be needing a GMail account:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3835495.stm
250 megs is more than enough for me!
I hope I get it soon though, my Inbox is filling up :/

Re: Hey Jerks, Want Gmail?
I use my webmail uni account, but it only gives me 10mb. I wish gmail would actually email me, I signed up that I was interested etc.
Edit: It was reduced to 9.77mb recently as they ran out of space.

Re: Hey Jerks, Want Gmail?
the worrying thing about gmail is that they save everything, also what you 'delete' and that they will give everything on request of 'a goverment official', which means that not a warrant or subpoena is needed, this worries me.

Re: Hey Jerks, Want Gmail?
if the way they're launching it is anything to go by, I don't want one anymore. I hope admitting you use gmail becomes the new "I use aol". And I'm not just bitter because no-one has given me an invite.

Your facts are two months old, they've already stated that they don't save it on purpose. It's possible it might be kept for some time on their backup disks, thats it.

while you were busy hating gmail and your homosexuality, google reinstituted the free market and concurrention principle on the internet, which resulted in yahoo increasing their storage space and hotmail increasing their storage space next month, to keep themselves in the business.
Turn it any way you want: gmail has had nothing but good effects since it was announced.

Re: Hey Jerks, Want Gmail?
I once knew a lady called Frank,
Who swapped her Golf for a tank.
Her husband got scared,
When scold her he dared,
She was likely to go rob a bank.
Damn that's poor. Guess I'll have to use the "5.30am" excuse.

Well, we speculate that they do. I'm not sure at which stage in the process they're doing this though.
However, even if they were, doesn't mean we should accept everyone else doing it. Privacy isn't a boolean value in this context. Just because MI5 can put a phone tap on anyone doesn' t mean we should be happy about banks doing it (say).
Of course, this is different since GMail is a service you don't have to have. As long as they're open about it, I don't see much of a problem. If I do get involved in international terrorism I simply won't send my communication via GMail.
