Asia Running Out Of IP Addresses

miladus writes "According to a story at Zdnet, Asian countries are running out of IP addresses. China, for example, was assigned 22 million IP addresses (for a population of 1.3 billion) under IPv4. The US owns 70 percent of current IP addresses. Perhaps IPv6 will solve the problem."

    Why bother? By the time any such impeachment process would come to any fruition, you could already be filling out your ballot in November, 2004. Instead of circulating completely pointless petitions for impeachment, circulate the agenda of some other candidate for president.

    Caffeinated soap??? What will ThinkGeek caffeinate next...

    ...condoms, for when your partner keeps falling asleep on you?

    ...combs, for when your hair is just "laying there"?

    ...steering wheels?

    ...lecture/concert hall seats.

    Can you actually caffeinate any of this junk? What's scary is that if the soap has enough caffeine in it to get into your system, what would happen if you actually ate a chunk of it?

    Headline: SCO sues China for IP violations for using IPv6

    CEO of SCO: We are suing China for 1 billion dollars because they are using IPv6 without licensing it from us.
    Reporter: Does SCO own the IP for IPv6?
    CEO: No but we do own a part (.005%) of ISP that assigns IPv6 addresses. Therefore, we believe that we own the contract rights to IPv6. We are also planning on suing Linus (again) because Linux has built in support for IPv6.

  4. They're not running out - .cn spammers have plenty by inicom · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They're not running out - I think every spammer in hk, tw, kr and especially cn has been given a class A to scatter their mailhosts around. Reclaim all of the spammers addresses and they'll have enough for a few more years.
