Google Over IPv6 Coming Soon

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-no-ipv5 dept.

fuzzel writes "Today Google announced Google over IPv6 where ISPs can sign up their DNS nameservers so that their users will get access to an almost fully IPv6-enabled Google, including http://www.google.com, images and maps, etc., just like in IPv4. Without this only http://ipv6.google.com is available, but then you go to IPv4 for most services. So, start kicking your ISPs to support IPv6 too, and let them sign up. Check this list of ISPs that already do native IPv6 to your doorstep. The question that now remains is: when will Slashdot follow?"

      Really? The extra addressing overhead should have made it a little slower.

    Google over IPv6 is crisp and clean, with good intensity and a hint of citrus on the nose

    ...use 6to4...

    And, if you're on a WAN in Chicago, the choice could be: X.25 or 6to4?

    I'm still running a 32-bit operating system

    It's an extension and graphical shell to a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system...

    (Wait, this is a joke sub-thread, right?)

    Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
