Sender-ID Back From The Dead

Posted by timothy on from the sometimes-they-come-back dept.

NW writes "Microsoft's Sender-ID standard has been left for the dead since the rejection earlier this fall by the IETF. According to a Reuters story, it has been revised and will be resubmitted to the IETF. Along the way, Microsoft managed to pick up AOL's endorsement of Sender-ID. My humble analysis appears here."

    mods mods mods... mod my comment up +5 as well. (since it has just as much support as the parent).

    microsoft will hire an assassin to kill linus torvalds as well as his pet tux. then M$'s goal will be to rid the world of any human being who uses open source software. then they will launch FUD about how they should become the president of the united states. after linux is dead, and the GPL is out of existence, MS will make a new GPL that says all money made from software will go to microsoft because they own the world.

    On the "related links" portion of the page (to the right of the summary) I get a bunch of links that are purely sales related like this one:

    Best deals: Microsoft

    This used to be where the editors put only links related to the stories. Is this something new, or have I just not been paying attention? Pretty sad either way. The link isn't related to the story in any way whatsoever. I miss the old days of Slashdot.

      Amen. And they used to have decent colors in the articles too. Thankfully, some readers point out ways to make Slashdot appear the way it used to.

    The link to buy Windows from OSTG is considered "related" to the story, however my comment pointing out that the link is not related is "offtopic."

    Splendid rebuttal. What is a whoop is how you've suckered other pedants into the trap. As I write this, 4 out of 5 respondents who felt the need to comment on your amusing reply have missed the point. Currently, only xigxag (167441) got it, and came up with an appropriate reply.

    Well done, fatphil and xigxag.

    Special mention to Des Herriott (6508) who, although he missed the point as well, made an excellent comment on the inappropriate use of the word "loose" in place of "lose". Pity it wasn't better aimed.
