RIPE Region Runs Out of IPv4 Addresses

New submitter 8-Track writes "The RIPE NCC, the Regional Internet Registry for Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia, distributed the last blocks of IPv4 address space from the available pool. This means they are now distributing IPv4 address space to Local Internet Registries (LIRs) from the last /8. An ISP may receive one /22 allocation (1,024 IPv4 addresses), even if they can justify a larger allocation. This /22 allocation will only be made to LIRs if they have already received an IPv6 allocation from an upstream LIR or the RIPE NCC. Time to move to IPv6!"

And a big "Fuck you" to you pal. Name the number of bands who have been around for almost forty years, that have 20 studio albums under the belt, sell out pretty much every tour they've done since the late 1970s, and the 20th album is a commercial and critical success. Oh, and they also have the guy who is pretty much considered the best rock drummer of them all.

No one says you have to like Rush, or any other band, but you remind me of those arrogant holier-than-thou types who go "The Beatles were talentless hacks."
