This is in the past, well over a month old and thus irrelevant in internet time. The recent threads about Gmail are interested in the today, not the past. Please quit mentioning the past :) > While I am not required to provide an email This 'secondary email' is optional and located on this first signup page: https://mail.google.com/mail/signup > phone number, when I complete the form (entering name and > desired login, password, etc, and click "submit" The SMS verification stage (phone number requirement[1]) location occurs only after you hit submit above. > I get a google page with "The page you requested is invalid" and > cannot complete the creation of the account. Yes, I have seen this three times. Each time I just cleared state, MAPADDRESS'd another exit, randomized info and tried again. Only to receive account creation failure of course. I've also been seeing a lot of SSL failures with sites recently. Sorry, since it's SSL, I've just been hitting retry instead of tracking it down. That's my bad for you all. > tor button Can't say that I use it. Very unlikely. > I'd hate to have to create a new account by going to some public > wifi location and doing this without tor first. That degrades my > anonymity for the email. I'd go that route. I don't see any conflict between the two, when done properly. [1] According to this months urban legend, two people have found this to not be a requirement. However, for all practical purposes, percent sucess wise, it probably should be considered to be one. *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
