A Humorous Introduction To IPv6
zollman writes "Jonathan Richards, in the London times, explains how the introduction of IPv6 will change the Internet. From the article: 'As use [of the Internet] grew, it became clear that the old protocol, IPv4, wasn't big enough, so a new one was created using 32-bit numbers. That increased the number of available addresses to 340 undecillion, 282 decillion, 366 nonillion, 920 octillion, 938 septillion -- enough for the foreseeable future.'"
Americans don't have national papers and thus are unable to comprehend the concept. I imagine every American paper must be named after a city, because they always append the name of the British capital to any British newspapers. Until recently the Guardian was actually a city paper - the Manchester Guardian - yet now it is a national and the Americans refer to it as "The London Guardian"! They are all ignorant cunts, unable to see beyond their own borders, and they have fucked up our world without even really understanding it exists.
foolowed. Obviously beyond the scope of inventing excuses
