(Almost) All You Need To Know About IPv6
Butterspoon tips us to an article in Ars Technica titled "Everything you need to know about IPv6." Perhaps not quite "everything"; the article doesn't try to explain the reasons behind IPv6's meager adoption since its introduction 12 years ago. But it should be regarded as essential reading for anyone overly comfortable with their IPv4 addresses. Quoting: "As of January 1, 2007, 2.4 billion of those [IPv4 addresses] were in (some kind of) use. 1.3 billion were still available and about 170 million new addresses are given out each year. So at this rate, 7.5 years from now, we'll be clean out of IP addresses; faster if the number of addresses used per year goes up. Are you ready for IPv6?"
With the limited number of addresses, maybe spam would drop if there is a significant demand for IP addresses. Spammers wouldn't be able to just set up a new shop over night.

Leave his religion out of it. I swear, how do you even know he's from Utah?
If he wants to wear a white shirt and tie (note to Geek Squad: You looked like missionaries when I saw you at the Seattle CTC last week.) and peddle his bike and give away free scriptures, that's his affair.
Where is the love, people? Why can't we all just get along? Let's not have a religious war.
(Why can't religeous fanatics be more like Buddhists? They don't blow up buildings, they just set themselves on fire.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong fix.
did I miss something?
where is religion mentioned at all?
the comment was "your a moron", and it was a reply to the post "do I need to upgrade to web 2.0"
The article has no mention of utah as well

It's not stupid. It's Advanced.
Try adding an extra 'm'. I think you'll figure it out.
...if that's the case, I think that's one of the worst cases of spelling humor I've ever failed to laugh at.

I'm truly sorry you had to point that out to him.
