Feds Say They're Ready For Monday's IPv6 Deadline

netbuzz writes "By all indications and against all odds, it appears as though most, if not all, federal agencies will have met the mandate issued back in 2005 that their network backbones become capable of passing IPv6 packets by June 30, 2008. NetworkWorld quotes Pete Tseronis, chair of the IPv6 working group of the Federal CIO Council, saying, 'I have not heard of anybody who is not going to make the IPv6 deadline.' Those involved are calling this a significant milestone in what has been an extensive effort to bring IPv6 into widespread deployment."

On Slashdot, TrollMods say that the truth about their government is "Flamebait" because they'd flame anything that doesn't lie about how awful their government has been. But they'd rather try to suppress it with trollMods than even bother to flame it.

That is precisely how their government manages to be so bad: everyone's too busy covering up its failures to get anything done right, or even find time to confess they're part of the failure.
