Four Root DNS Servers Go IPv6 On February 4th

Posted by Zonk on from the our-interwebs-are-all-growed-up dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "On February 4th, IANA will add AAAA records for the IPv6 addresses of the four root servers. With this transition, it will finally be possible for two internet hosts to communicate without using IPv4 at all. Certain obsolete software may face compatibility problems due to the change, but those issues are addressed in an ICANN report (pdf)."

    Oh, I get it now. Slashdot is being crap-flooded with these MyMiniCity things because you can only "grow" your city by getting hits to it.

    Look. If you're willing to waste peoples time and generally be a moron about this dumb game, why not just rent a botnet for a few hours? You could max out your population that way. Failing that, the "population" ticker seems to be based on IP address, so just write a program that hits it via Tor or something and leave it running. There are soooo many possibilities that don't involve using obfuscated redirects it's not even funny.

    Or are you just a natural troll, and if it weren't for MyMiniCity you'd be finding other ways to waste peoples time?
