IPv6 Readiness Report
MythoBeast writes "In the latest episode of the Intellectual Icebergs podcast, Brett Thorson of Ravenwing provides a very good review of how ready our industry is for IPv6. He also provides a pretty good implementation guide for those who want to set up IPv6 at home."
We'll need IPv8.
Personally, I'd rather have a written guide of some form to refer to when I implement IPv6, though I'm going to listen to this just to see how it turns out. It'll probably be just like class where I scribble furiously to write down everything the professor says.
If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I bought a pair of binoculars.
With a traditional IPv4 network, I was running out of IP addresses, but now I can give each sofa cushion its own address.
IPv6 isn't going to work because of television. Chloe: "Jack, give me the IP Address of the workstation and I'll send you a decrypter." Jack: "Okay one sec........... Alright, got it! F as in food, E as in earth, D as in death, C as in card, colon, B as in bad, A as in apple, six, eight, colon, three, six, four, four, colon, one, two, zero, seven, colon, A as in apple..." FBI Agent breaks in: What's this? Jack? You're supposed to be dead! [shoots Jack] [Season Ends] Man oh man oh man. That's gotta be the reason why IPv6 isn't implemented yet. (Seriously, tech support nightmares)
$PERSON makes $TRENDY style comment about $TECHNOLOGY. $EDITORS don't edit, they greenlight based on $TRENDY. Oh wait, we're talking about whether IPv6 is redundant, necessary, or useful? Thats actually secondary to the point of the accepted submission.
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
IPV6 will finally get accepted when it's discovered that it's the only way to play a network game of Duke Nukem Forever.
Good, inexpensive web hosting
Yep, idiot. Checked your posting history. Definitely idiot.
I would much rather see an end-to-end connectivity world + routers sold to consumers being default configured to have a no-ingress firewall. Killing end-to-end connectivity for the purposes of security is like pre-emptively chopping off the hands of children so they don't steal.
