Freescale doesn't want to be bothered

John Larkin · Apr 16, 2005

I was registered with Motorola, but I'm not registered with Freescale.
If you're not registered, you can't send them mail, not even to the
webmaster. The password rules are so complex I can't remember them
all: something like requiring the length to be in a range, to have
nothing in common with the user ID, to have uppercase *and* lowercase
letters *and* numbers, to start with something or other...

I'll buy somewhere else.

Hello John,

I'll buy somewhere else.

I'd probably do the same. Making customer access difficult rings alarm
bells in our lab.

Oh, one more rule: it can't be the same as your four last passwords!

I agree that it is a pain to register. However once registered their
sample service is good, and they do make some interesting stuff.

Absolutely ridiculous that you can't even email them without registering.

It's one thing for a bank to attempt secure password principles,

they even need a password? I'm certainly not going to use one of

For a lark I just registered myself. The password stuff is hilarious,
what do they think they're running, NSA servers? The "User Agreement"
or whatever it's called is just plain silly.

Except that the security of the actual sites often leaves much to be
desired !

I end up just asking them to email my forgotten password to me. Really

Andy
Noun. 1. The buttocks. The similar 'ass' isn't used as frequently,

remaining more of an Americanism. S.e. from 1600s until mid 1800s.
2. An objectionable person.
3. A mistake, a poor job. E.g."He's made such an arse of that
plastering job that I think we'll need to redo it."
Exclam. Expressing anger or frustration.

Arse::Bottle and Glass
I gave him a good kick up the bottle.

Chance would be a fine thing

Isn't "Arse" just "Ass" with the Southern British long "A"? They say
"Glarse", "Brarnch", and "Farsten", too.
