NO, i dont want to customize my homepage. YES just give me the damn default whatever you choose. STOP popping up the same damn box when i get online, i dont care if im supposed to use cookies TOO MUCH SUGAR is bad for me and im not doin it. i think yahoo's homepage has gotten a lot better in recent times... is it time to switch?

Ummm, cookies are how the intarweb works. Accept them.

Properly configured Firefox remembers that the answer is no, and I never get asked again.

You'd be surprised how many sites work just fine with them disabled.

Yeah, but it makes hell with load balancers. Just accept it.

IT'S NOT A BALANCER PROBLEM!!!! FIX YOUR DAMNED APPLICATION AND ADHERE TO HTTP SPECS!

sons of bitches, I swear.

I couldn't care less about your balancer, unless it's a site I frequent often or the site is broken without it I won't accept your cookie. And at best I'll probably switch to IceWeasel and just hit "allow for session" so it's not persistent.

ahhhh i knew i would get told. i tell you what, next time my laptop gets stolen and some crackhead tries to figure out some of my screen names and logins but they CAN'T because i dont like sugar then ill make sure to post back to see if your computer was taken too with all of its teeth rotters nabbed up and used for identity theft. there!

I prefer to encrypt my /home and data volumes so that I can retain data and be pretty sure it won't get stolen.

 

[zig3695]

briefly, what do you use to encrypt?

 

[Nothinman]

Specifically dm-crypt volumes in Linux.

ah. anyway with windows and no cookies the only page that bugs me is igoogle. it never used to popup anything either, thats why i complain. everything else works great
