There were between 1100 and 1200 total attendees, only some of whom (my guess is a few hundred, but what do I know?) were at the plenary session where IPv4 was turned off. Of those, quite a lot were engineers, but probably not so many were cluefull.
The point of the exercise wasn't to declare that "IPv6 is ready" but simply to see how people (OK, geeks) got along for an hour with no IPv4.
Once I added the IPv6 DNS servers to my OS X 10.4 Network Preferences, I was able to surf the IPv6 web and connect to IPv6 Jabber servers. However, I couldn't SSH into my home servers since I hadn't set up any sort of IPv6 access at home. I need to find a DSL provider who will route IPv6 and who resells using AT&T DSLAMs. Any suggestions?
The report (at least in the L.A. times) says that he "hacked into systems operated by America Online and Verizon." Other reports say that he "hacked into the 911 system." So what exactly did he do? Was this a circuit-switched or VoIP call? Which systems were attacked, in what way?
