Is there a "trick" to using gmail with Wamcom Mozilla?  I've been told that
you can, but every time I try to get in, gmail scolds me for not enabling
cookies.  Regardless of whether cookies (and javascript) are/aren't enabled,
I can't seem to get in.  What glaringly obvious step (besides a browser
upgrade...) am I overlooking here?

Rather than set up a "junk" email addy, why not try:

http://www.jetable.org/en/index

They assign you a temporary email addy that can last anywhere from a day to
a week (you choose).  Their temporary addy forwards to your "real" one
without revealing it.  That way, you can retain your "real" email address
without worrying about setting yourself up for a permanent spam-o-rama.

This is worth a go, too:

http://www.bugmenot.com/

The aim of the site is to allow you to bypass registration completely.
YMMV.

Incidentally, perhaps someone can explain why a government security
clearance is needed at Google (at least in this case):

Technical Solutions Engineer, Enterprise

€ U.S. citizenship due to government security clearance.

Actually, I'm fascinated by the citizenship requirement, too.  Most
companies out here are only too glad to hire non-citizens because their, um,
"expectations" are much lower than those of citizens.


Best,
