    $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.

    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.

  5. RIAA may hate me for saying this.... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny


    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..

  6. Proposal by BinBoy · · Score: 5, Funny

    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.
