Microsoft Runs Out of US Address Space For Azure, Taps Its Global IPv4 Stock
alphadogg (971356) writes "Microsoft has been forced to start using its global stock of IPv4 addresses to keep its Azure cloud service afloat in the U.S., highlighting the growing importance of making the shift to IP version 6. The newer version of the Internet Protocol adds an almost inexhaustible number of addresses thanks to a 128-bit long address field, compared to the 32 bits used by version 4. The IPv4 address space has been fully assigned in the U.S., meaning there are no additional addresses available, Microsoft said in a blog post earlier this week. This requires the company to use the IPv4 address space available to it globally for new services, it said."
Do onto others as thou would have them do unto thee. See if another advanced lifeform, like an alien, above my level, had to kill me, I'd prefer they do it in a kosher way. My favorite way to go would be in my sleep, without being informed about my death looming on the horizon, and then just gassed with anesthetics, then poison gas and never wake up. That would minimize my pain and suffering and mental anguish, but a lot of human executions carry a lot of anger and revenge feelings of wanting the executed to "pay" for his crimes and suffer, as some sort of consideration to exchange. If I had to kill somebody for whatever reason, I'd get passed this "hate" and emotional baggage, and uphold principles of kosher death, which should be rare, and if it gets really abundant, then you look into why we have so many kosher deaths and perhaps then the suffering part comes in. I can see how it has a deterrent effect on crime like murders.
So anyway, Alien, the queen monster from the movie, she'd have a hard time upholding principles of kosher when it comes to killing. In her world ethical dilemmas are nonsense in the struggle for survival, and as a mother she has no other objective but life, to push on life, and fight for life, make new life, and survive, and all the ethics, such as dilemmas about other lifeforms suffering fall to the wayside when it means her life or her offspring's life being at stake. And in life one should seek balance in everything, even in self assertion, but then those that don't practice self assertion to the max go extinct like the Dodo, and ultimately arguments land on the topic of well, survival is overrated, and there is no inherent reason why one must survive, no matter what, and being a Dodo is part of the world too. She cannot comprehend such a concept. So a main issue with human competition in the struggle for survival is the mammalian female reproductive cycle, and fast breeders drive the slow breeders to extinction, unless there is competition on other fronts like killing or starvation from property, and then technology and property rights. Most mammalian life forms live on the order of a decade, and be gone by 20 years or so - cats, dogs, pigs, horses, cows. In humans reproductive maturity is not reached until age 13 for girls, (even later for boys, but as the females are the bottleneck, the reproductive speed is only dependent on them, and men don't have menopause, and stay as fast breeders til death, almost,) and then under circumstances of abundance of resources and peace (no warlike violent technology-murders) and freedom from disease, and communism with no property rights to create starvation (welfare food stamps compared to irish potato famine), the population with females hitting puberty at age 12, or 11.5, or even, say, age 8, will drive the slow breeders extinct. The earliest birth or sexual maturity for a female was like birth time, she was born sexually reproductive, and got pregnant too, but the parents raised her and her baby as sisters, so there has to be a certain time, before the actual mother can repeat the cycle and take over caring for the baby. But this drive for youth in females and males being fast breeders is engrained in things like japanese anime, or muslim sultan's harems of women, or even in this age muslims marrying girls at age 10-11, and already copulating by the time she actually hits puberty so she never really gets a chance for a period she instantly becomes pregnant, and then topics like is a 6 year old girl married to a 50 year old man immoral according to the Quran, as there are some exceptional but highly sought after cases when a girl matures at age 8, and is ready to be a mother, and actually cycle the generation as opposed to her parents raising both her and her child as both children. So in contrast to this mammalian internal nurturing of the egg for a long time, as opposed to releasing it into the environment right away to hatch externally, as practiced by almost every other life form, including fish, frogs, reptiles, birds, insects (this is not
Yeah, so my post quickly gets a -1 offtopic rating. It's on topic too mofos, it's all about IPV6! Sigh. In any case no you know why muslims towel wrap their bitches - they try to hide their pedophilia and reproductive competition. It's nobody's business she's prepuberty 10 year old sucking 50 year old wrinkly muslim dick already. Cuz at least she's a guaranteed survivor, unlike them 40 year old "career" women of NYC who finally decide they've forgot about having a family, so how about that idea, who have a hard time hooking a 50 year old guy like Taro Aso who instead watches 12 year old anime cartoon porn.
Oh yeah, and all humans originated in Africa when it was time to climb off the tree and walk upright on two feet among the tall grass when the trees and the colorful fruits they carry disappeared from a sudden environmental change, and monkey's having had the most excellent eyesight of the whole animal kingdom (except some predator birds, but nobody beating it on combination acuity and chromacity, even if some hexagonal vision bugs get better chromacity, at least wider range into UV, as some flowers only have UV color) and the visual cortex to go with it, judging from a mile whether a colorful fruit is just the ripe amount of ripeness or should it wait one more day, so these monkeys had to turn to hunting grass eaters with all the fruits gone, and hunting is always the most intelligent activity because you don't only have to predict your environment, you have to predict the environment predicting other intelligence around you, understand the way they think and feel and what they are gonna do next better than they can understand themselves. So anyway, all humans come out of a single mutation event in Africa where 99.9% of the old treehopping inverting thumb foot monkey genepool disappeared and some very marginal portion of upright walking hunters selectively remained, but all mammals come out of an ice age area, as it was always warm enough near the equator jungles for the 0.0001% hotblooded mutation not to get selected out but blended back into the major genepool, as opposed to in a glacier environment, where 99.9999% of all other coldblooded reptiles went extinct in the local domain, and only the two reptiles that developed internal temperature fever and hair with 37C or feathers with 42C made it, and these two mutations are most likely a single individual each (as you don't have mammals with 26C or 49C, or birds with 32C or 53C blood temperature), these individuals still being able to breed with the other sex of their ex-genepool, but the offsprings all carrying and maintaining the high temperature reptilian fever mutation. Evolution happens in sudden jumps, and only under dire selective pressure circumstances. When life is easy, any mutation blends into the general genepool and does not get selected for, well, other than say sexual aberration featuers, such as the peacock's large tail, that's a hindrance to survival but very enjoyable by the females, or colorful fish, or other such "beauty" mutations, like, pretty much the only selective pressure is on huge dicks and big arm muscles for males, small waists and big butts and tits for the females, but with silicone implants only the small waist part remains as a selective pressure. All sexual enjoyment features, during good life, in absence of war, and absence of hardship. Oh yea, and the mutation to shorten lifespans like other mammals, that are sexually mature by age two, and the elders die by age 15, as under easy conditions and no educational requirements, that's the fastest standard breeding cycle that prevails. Longevity, people living into the 110's is where educational requirements are obviously present, such as Japan, and Caucasus mountains, even if in Japan it coexists with the fast breeding pedophile group, and the final outcome is yet to be decided, and the longer the good and easy life goes on, the more the fast breeding low educational requirement group proliferates. I don't want an apocalypse, but the God's of Olympus, or the Great Spirit, or all the other names "we" as in "we" in the Quran go by, are starting to get fed up with things getting out of hand. Of course if you can invent mammals that can acquire and transfer an education worth 50 years in under 1 year, then sexual maturity and longevity in life expectancy are not a requirement, and old age and death may come at age 15, to hand over the cycle to the next generations, just like in case of cats, canines, etc. That's the downside of easy life and fast breeders, low longevity. In fact a lot of muslim origin women are mindblowingly hot at age 12, and by age 19 they go through a sudden transformatio
