  1. ARIN IPv4 Addresses Run Out Tomorrow

    Tech · Internet · · posted by timothy · from the good-seats-still-available dept. · 215 comments
    jcomeau_ictx provided that teaser of a headline, but writes: Not really. But the countdown at tunnelbroker.net should go to zero sometime tomorrow around noon, considering it's at 45,107 as I write this, it's counting down about one address every two seconds, and there are 86,400 seconds per day. Just happened to notice it today. Might be worth a little celebration at every NOC and IT enterprise tomorrow.

  2. iPhone App Predicts IPv4 Doomsday

    Idle · · posted by samzenpus · from the the-clock-is-ticking dept. · 2 comments
    angry tapir writes "If you're the kind of person who walks down the street worrying about the depletion of IPv4 addresses, the iPhone can now tell you how long you have until that happens. IPv6 network backbone and collocation provider Hurricane Electric has introduced an iPhone application that counts down the number of days until that moment of reckoning."

  3. Hurricane Electric Offers Bit Torrent Service

    Internet · · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the send-me-your-biggest-file dept. · 265 comments
    heypete writes "Hurricane Electric is now offering BitTorrent tracker/seeder services on behalf of paying customers. One need only upload the file desired to a specified directory by FTP, and their system will automatically generate a torrent file, add it to a tracker for that customer, and act as a "seed" to ensure that the file is available to downloaders. This could prove to be extremely useful for distributors of large files (such as Linux distributions), as bandwidth for the tracker and seeding services does not count against the bandwidth quota for the account."

  5. IPv6 Tunnel Brokers?

    Ask · Internet · · posted by Cliff · from the exploring-the-new-technologies dept. · 18 comments
    thedillybar asks: "I have noticed the appearance of many IPv6 Tunnel Brokers which allow anyone to sign-up and tunnel IPv6 over their current IPv4 connection. Hurricane Electric and BT Exact both offer tunnels here and here, respectively. For those of you using a tunnel like this, what do you think of their reliability and use as a development tool?"

  6. Perl6 for Mortals

    horos1 writes: "Hey all, I just ran across an article over at O'Reilly - Perl 6: Not Just For Damians which covers a lot of the negative commentary posted by slashdot on perl6 'featureitis'. Very interesting read, and IMO makes a hell of a lot of sense."

  7. Gnutella Copyright Enforcement?

    News · News · · posted by CmdrTaco · from the only-a-matter-of-time dept. · 290 comments
    horos1 writes "Is copyright protection on gnutella enforceable after all? I thought that gnutella users were better off (ie: more anonymous) than napster users in this regard, but this story on zdnet implies otherwise." As I understand it, this app can report user names and IPs of people who download boobie trapped files that the software pretends to serve. Yes, you to can be Lars!
