I hate Microsoft's NTLM authentification scheme.  I hate Microsoft for their
refusal to stick to standards, but that's beyond the scope of this complaint.

I hate it because since a recent system upgrade on our Exchange server I
can no longer view my work mail from home.  Probably we were using another
authentification method earlier and now we are using NTLM.  Safari and my
version of Mozilla refuse to deal with it.  I resent that the only way
I can fix my problem is by upgrading to a newer Mozilla or installing Firefox.

It always annoys me to have to alter my environment to deal with something
that doesn't play by the rules.
