Was IPv6 our only hope or do we have something else ready to go for when we hit that last address? And speaking of that, what WILL happen when we hit that last address? Will the internet suddenly die? Or will some people just not be able to connect because the IP is in use?
Win 95 -> Win 98: Slightly slower, but also slightly less painful experience for the end user
Win 98 -> Win XP: A fair bit slower, but holy crap it doesn't crash any more!
Win XP -> Vista: Extreme slowdown and you don't get a lot out of it beyond viral DRM and all your shoddily-written software causing that annoying permissions box to pop up.
Every iteration of windows has been slightly slower but also better than the previous version... until Vista.
I remember seeing a doco someone had posted to youtube about the migration of humans from Africa to become the diverse set of ethnicities we enjoy today. It's really fascinating to see how much each group of migrators were changed just by their environment; namely, the sun. The further humans got from the equator, the lighter their skin evolved to be to absorb more sunlight for producing vitamin D which is a very essential vitamin. The documentary claimed that the darkest skinned africans and the lightest skinned nordic people share over 99.9% of the same DNA.
Some groups of humans even evolved to be light skinned and then migrated back towards the equator and evolved dark skin again; one example is the south americans, who, being relatively recent arrivals to the locale (about 100 thousand years ago off the top of my head), are still in the process of evolving skin as dark as the africans. It's theorised that the (also fairly recent) use of shelter and clothing has slowed it down for them as well.
I walked away from it with a very pure understanding of just how similar we all are. We all come from the same anscestors. We all quite literally used to be black and living in africa.
Because if you've ever experienced Mac fanboy wrath, you'll know they can be damn irritating. These are not isolated occurances; I'm sure everyone here knows at least one. I don't know whether or not that brings it from "stereotype" status to "generally true", but what I do know is that it makes them fun to bash:)
1. Joe Sixpack buys Death Rape Xtreme for Joe Sixpack Jr because there's a Wii symbol on the box. 2. Jr is mentally scarred, grows up to be a psychotic criminal. 3. Jr. gets thrown in prison for killing Joe Sixpack Sr. 4. Jr. gets brutally ass-fucked by Big Bubba and dies in the infirmary. 5. Joe Sixpack's inferior lineage ends with the death of his son and the world is a slightly less retarded place.
You can replace the Flying Spaghetti Monster with any product of superstition that is not currently accepted... Zeus, Thor, the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus. if someone speaks of FSM and you don't like the meme, then simply swap out 'FSM' for the expired deity of your choice to help the argument progress a little easier for yourself.
The difference is, if Tolsty's "War and Peace" is to resemble sentient life, then only once will there be something to say "Wow, what were the chances of me existing?". There's a lot of planets out there and I'd bet every one of them that hosts life has been subject to the same incredulity.
We couldn't possibly have become on any of the other 999,999,999,999 planets, and thus would totally be unable to say "I wish we were one of those lucky 0.000000000001 species".
That's some charged material, right there. Calm down son, present some rational arguments and carry your viewpoint forward. "THE RULES ARE INFECTING OUR SOUUUULS" isn't going to win too many minds.

Well I'm still alive, so they obviously got around to it in time :)
I don't know of any businesses that would be thinking "It works now, right?" in the face of impending service disruption.
It's as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were silenced.
Is it African or European IPv6?

This is why English Public Schools designed to scrub up young gentlemen and closet young ladies have installed cameras in the bogs http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7567193.stm (17th August 2008) so they can't get a sneaky fag in without getting buggered or damage the Johnny machine since the Headmaster stopped their Friday-night rubber allowance http://glyndaviesam.blogspot.com/2007/12/have-good-weekend-children.html.
Meanwhile, the revolting parents are demanding that "free condom Friday" be re-instated by the school ...
Once again, Blighty is ahead of the game in urban anti-terror educational re-adjustment bodily function pacification!
In France, zey just pis in ze bushes.

I find this post deliciously ironic
France wouldn't welcome anyone. They don't care about anything. Welcome to France, where nozing matters.
What else do they have in the Japan?
Stay away from FATMAN239. It nuked my hard drive.

So...
1. Joe Sixpack buys Death Rape Xtreme for Joe Sixpack Jr because there's a Wii symbol on the box.
2. Jr is mentally scarred, grows up to be a psychotic criminal.
3. Jr. gets thrown in prison for killing Joe Sixpack Sr.
4. Jr. gets brutally ass-fucked by Big Bubba and dies in the infirmary.
5. Joe Sixpack's inferior lineage ends with the death of his son and the world is a slightly less retarded place.
What's the problem?
Sounds like he was having fun, then. What's the problem?
Ohhh I get it.
Yes... what about those other 8 types then?
I was under the impression that he was able to pull it off because, y'know, of all those midichlorians he has.
You obviously don't know any Star Wars nerds.

I initially thought the subject was over the journalist's head.

The one-in-a-trillion coincidence.

Coincidence? More like inevitability.

Alternatively, learn american english and get the american version.
Cool.
