Dept. of Defense IPv6 Interoperabilty Test Begins
securitas writes "The Department of Defense has launched Phase I of its delayed IPv6 interoperability test (mirror) in a six-month project dubbed Moonv6. It is the largest North American IPv6 test ever and its goal is to evaluate IPv6 for 'network-centric military operations.'
Phase II was originally scheduled to begin in January 2004 but may be delayed due to the late start of the current test.
'IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long, enough for around 4 billion unique addresses.' In contrast, the IPv6 address length is '128 bits, or 340 billion billion billion billion unique addresses.'
Experts hope this will solve a predicted IP address shortage as more devices are created to use the Internet."
and generally reeks of cum, especially around his ass.

The NERO Institute has a javascript counter, showing how long the IPv6 address space will last. It's calculated from the ever increasing rate of production of Internet-enabled devices. Right now it says 1,722 years...
Um, NAT blows. People that use NAT are using a broken routing spec. NAT is NOT an acceptable solution.

You know, in the scheme of things, it leaves Dubbya looking kind of pathetic.
In the 40s, American arrogance risked wiping out the whole world on a bad calculation. Through the Cold War, American and Russian stupidity equally risked wiping out all life at a moment's notice.
All George Junior's managed to do is fuck up one region of the world in the quest for oil, creating a state full of terrorists where even his own analysts pointed out there was no state-based connection before; destroy his own country's economy; wreck some environmental research and treaties; raise a pair of illegally drinking daughters; choke on a pretzel and fall off a machine designed to be impossible to fall off.
It's just plain embarrassing and amateurish. Regan could have got all of that done in his first day, not his entire first term in office. JFK managed a whole missile crisis and a family full of people with "issues". I'm giving Junior a C- for effort.

It's hard to believe and I'm sure I certainly wouldn't have believed it myself if it wasn't my good friend who told me about it, but besides the technical issues some people actually didn't like the name of 6bone, because it sounds to much like sex-boner (sic) and therefore cannot be taken seriously by people who make financial decisions. It may be hard to believe but here in the gov and mil it is sometimes better to waste more money, since it's not your money in the first place. Cheaper solutions often mean less profit and that is exactly why you don't ever want your project to be associated with hobby/nonprofit org. It's also good thing to mention "terrorists" to get more money these days. I really hope this situation is going to change soon.
