Yup, IPv6 is straight forward. However you can't bring over your IPv4 toolbox unchanged. Having NAT with IPv6 is just meaningless and trying to shoehorn it is implies someone either doesn't understand networking or is just trying to retain the old way of doing things.
The biggest hurdle are all the consumer computers and networking equipment that don't use IPv6 by default. So an ISP can't just decide to turn on IPv6 and have it work w/o problems. So you need some translation from an IPv4 NAT to an IPv6 space because the customer boxes will be using IPv4 with NAT. But all of that should be treated as a *transition* phase needed to work in a dual-address world, it should not be treated as the end game.
Reasoning is useful, and should be taught. I see too many who lack in that department.
As for my education, there is no class I took related to computer science that was not useful at some point later on in my career. I only wish I remember more of my non-CS stuff because I had to go and relearn some of it later. However there are employees who just want to be a 9 to 5 coder, no interest in learning more beyond the minimum necessary for their job, who if they are promoted to be designer or architect may cause damage. Not everyone needs the solid education, but you really need *someone* who has a better education involved.
As I've said before, if you CAN get a college degree than it's better for you to do so instead of cynically deciding to forgo it.
Steam is merely a market place. Few people use the Steam extras (voice chat, text overlays) and there is plenty of healthy competition there. But as a market place, big deal, why does it matter if there are fans or detractors? That's like posting an article saying that the Chinese don't like Tesco. As a market place, Steam has a big drawback of DRM (not the same as anti-piracy), not as onerous as some competitors but it's still a drawback.
Yes I use it at work. Note that Office will preload by default when you install it. So it's in RAM waiting for you to start it up so that it feels snappier. Several programs do this. I disable that when I can because it can noticeably slow down you login. I routinely see hiccups when scrolling through pages these days (on OSX), even with 8GB of RAM and a solid state drive. In the past these applications would fit under 1MB.
Don't forget that a lot of this need for caching, and multiple tiers of caching, is because of terribly optimized code. Look at typical Ms Office applications today - they don't do more than they did 15 years ago in practical terms and yet they feel slower today on what are essentially supercomputers and that's because of all the fluff, and the change in programming styles.
Professional may also mean more security features, more customization, and so forth. These days professional may even mean less advertising and spying (which today are the same thing). It could mean less quality variance over temperature and age (similar to industrial quality), and there are some consumer products that just don't work well if left in the sun on a hot day.
At a previous job we used compact flash for our device storage on a medical device. It was amazing how lower quality those things were when intended for mass market consumers, and things like "16x" speed wasn't even a standardized term. It took time to find one of them that came with an actual data sheet and that did the job as advertised.
Power consumption too! It's a major factor in a lot of designs today. This means fewer batteries, and less recharging or replacement. I'm working on stuff that needs a 20 year life out of a single small battery, and some that need to survive off of a capacitor for a few minutes after a power outage. The consumer oriented model of recharging nightly or constantly buying new batteries deserves to become a thing of the past.
Today a Japanese car will have just as many US made components as a US car, and parts will have gone through factories in multiple countries. Some Japanese cars have final assembly in the US as well.
I loved my Saturn. Though late in Saturn's life it was clear that they abandoned the original concept of being an autonomous entity and were back to using generic GM frames and parts.
And really, if someone is going to buy a new Sedan, who wouldn't want to get a Japanese model or maybe a German one if you've got some extra cash? Of course, there are some die-hard buy-only-American fans but some of those foreign cars may have more US made parts than the Ford has. The US auto industry knows how to make big gas guzzlers, workhorse trucks that people buy to commute in, but they really do suck at making a good economy car.
True. It's hard to train a lot of people to be paranoid however, and to stop visiting dodgy web sites offering to save you money. I'd love to get noscript on my mom's computer, but she'd just complain that 90% of the internet is broken and I wouldn't be able to teach her how to carefully whitelist trustworthy sites. She seems to think that if she trusts a web site that the links on that web site and all of its advertisements are also trustworthy and that she can safely click on them.
My mother has been caught in this multiple times. I keep trying to explain to her than Microsoft will never phone her up, and she nods her head and agrees but still something happens. I also have to say that no one in the world is going to voluntarily help her on her computer for free, and she nods but I can tell she doesn't really believe me and just thinks I am too cynical.
Once she realized something might be wrong so she requested a refund (they sold her a commercial version of some Symantec software), and she was ready to give them her check routing number in order to get the money. I managed to catch that in time before it happened.

Of course it can change. It was changed completely less than a century ago.

But have they ever called you up out of the blue and offered to clean up the virus that just appeared on your computer a minute before?
