IPv6 Application Competition - win $10,000
sneekz writes "The IPv6 Promotion Council of Japan has announced a competition for developers of IPv6-enabled applications. Various prizes up to $10,000 for ideas and actual implementations, and you keep the rights to your work. From their site: 'The contest will award developers of applications and software which helps to create new possibilities in the Internet world.'"
An IPv6 application competition, with a $5,000 prize! That should help promote IPv6, no?
.. would be just MORE of everything. Like:
- increased timewasting at the office due to faster, clearer, saucier porn downloads
- even greater levels of theft and destruction of the capitalist system as we know it by illegal music sharing
- yet more time spent deleting bucketloads of crap from our inboxes as spam increases to unprecedented levels
Yeah, its pretty revolutionary stuff all right.

An version of IP v6 stack that works in all those ancient Cisco routers, and replaces DNS! What do you think?

I will not support a protocol where all packets are not created equal. I wish to be treated with respect, not my game of quake slowed to a crawl because its deemed unessential. I fail to see the need.
although a bit more address space would do nicely...
You know...I have this idea for IPV6...you set up a server, then write a client...people register whatever songs they have in MP3...then...oh, nevermind.
$10,000 for recompiling with -lipv6 and changing some u32's to u128's in the structs... oh yea.
For high level languages like Python, I imagine all the work has been done for me already.

So that's like what, 50 bucks total?
Sigh... remember when a good idea used to be worth $40 million?

Odd IPvx numbers won't sustain symmetrical transmit/receive, so naturally, they are skipped.
An application that keeps tabs on all information of everyone according to their unique IPv6 number, and then ranking them on an anti-american scale.

1) IPV6 Application Implementation
2) ???
3) Profit!!
Imagine a world with IPv6 enabled devices.
Now when someone receives a subpoena from RIAA with the IP address, they can always reply back that there was a mistake because that IP address belongs to the microwave or the toilet bowl cleaner scheduler device..
I'd like to submit lain - just watched it last night and they clearly said that it was development of the sixth gen protocol that made the creation of lain possible.
For those who have no idea wth I am talking about, go an google, "serial experiment lain" then watch it. Some acid might make it clearer on your first viewing too.
When information is power, privacy is freedom.
I propose an IPv6 protocol app that allows you to browse other sites on the internet. Each site will store one or more files in a standard markup language. The app will download these files and render the text and images in a desktop window. The markup language should include links to other sites and files, creating a sort of "web." It could be useful for scientists who want to exchange research data.
...all porn stars get IPv6 addresses? Now THAT'S revolutionary!
Life is like pants... fit in or you don't fit in.
noone will ever need more than IPv4

Atleast each flying pig can have it's own address.

Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage
