Microsoft Releases Patent on SenderID 128

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday October 23, 2006 @11:26PM from the sharing-your-toys-in-the-sandbox dept.

wayne writes "Microsoft has now put the SenderID patents under the OSP. The Open Specification Promise was discussed on slashdot before in conjunction with web services and it is good to see that they are opening up even more. There are still technical problems with SenderID compared with SPF and, of course, SPF isn't problem free. Still, over the last year, the number of SPF records has more than doubled from around 1.7 million to 4.1 million, with rate of growth increased in the last 6 months."

...Make a new grading scale for suntan lotion? I mean, honestly, we've already got Sun Protection Factor, we don't need some retarded system like SenderID... Hell, we don't even need SPF, idiotic parents just can't think of their children and get the thick blue paste that WORKS instead of this new THE PURPLE FADES IN crap.

Honestly.

Well, lets see. Hell, MI has the zip code 48169 and is located at 422605N, 835906W. Using Yahoo weather, we can lookup weather for that zipcode.

from http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USMI0672.html [yahoo.com] , the weather on 23 October 2006 at 12:15 am EDT is:

Fair, 34F.Barometer is 29.93 in and steady, and 87% humidity. There is a 7 mph west wind.

Of course, conditions will change, so keep on watching for Hell to freeze over.
