On signing up for hotmail:

The birth date is not valid. Please verify that you have entered the correct date.

Can't I be as old/young as I like? Or do they have psychic powers now as well?

Well, you can be as young as you like, unless you wan't to sign up for something on the internet and you're really young :)

You obviously cant be older than the internets, or younger than Emma Watson(So consider aging yourself from 16 to 75, to get accepted by Hotmail >:3 )

You can't be older than the internet? Why not?

Exactly my point. Apparently, I can only be 126 years old - 1880 is the furthest back accepted.

Nope: 1 January. They just discriminate against people older than 126.

Yes, please get to the bottom of this ASAP and get back to me; it could explain why I don't feel as good as I should. I may not fully exist. I've suspected such a problem for some time.

I always wondered what people would do if they were born on the 29th of February (during the leap year). What would they put down as their birth date? Would they only celebrate their birthday once every four years?
Some things man is not meant to know.

I am older than the internet - I was born in 1961, unless I am mistaken ARP net (the forerunner to the internet) did not start being developed until the late 1960s at the earliest (at least according to this site (http://www.mapsys.com/ma3ws05.htm)).

What has MS to do with it?

What has MS to do with it?

1.)MS owns hotmail, and not in the fun computer security own context either.

2.)There is no number two.

3.)If it's evil, they're involved, and it's almost certainly part of a vast plot to kill me.
