They need to for DOCSIS 3 (at least on the modem side) anyways. DOCSIS 3 supports IPv6, so after that roll out is over with the main problem is the router from the customer end.

Hey, let's try to CD into all kinds of directories that don't exist.
#/var/spool>cd/spool No such file or directory #/var/spool>cd/samba No such file or directory #/var/spool>cd/a No such file or directory #/var/spool>cd/var #/var>cd/spool No such file or directory #/var>cd spool #/var/spool>copy/pasted commands to download random tarball #/var/spool>more failure to cd #/var/spool>sudo aptitude ruby and stuff sudo: command not found #/var/spool>wget path/to/win2ksp3.exe
That's it, basically. If you can use telnet, telnet into 94.255.168.108 and it plays an animated text version of it all.
I should caution that some builds of DD-WRT do not support IPv6. My own build didn't have it; you have to have v24sp1 stable or above. Version 24 sp2 Mega builds have IPv6 too.
If your end users have to deal with IP addresses themselves (either v6 or v4), you've got more problems than whether or not they "understand" something like 2001:....:192.168.100.1. End users don't understand these addresses at all. They're mystical codes that are scary. Who knows what could happen when you type that in? Sure, there are more advanced users who aren't scared, but those aren't the great, unwashed masses. Those are your geeks, and they will learn v6 one way or another.
Also, your idea has been taken already and implemented.::ffff:a.b.c.d. See RFC 2765.
Whether he spoke those words is besides the point; he continued to sign all the bills that gave billions to the Egyptian government. His actions were those of support. Obama has done the same thing so far.
Government can get away with all of that and much, much more. It may even be captured by private companies for their own purposes. See AT&T for such an example of what can happen.
If you're worried about governments meddling with the Internet now, wait until they own the last mile. I bet the RIAA and MPAA are salivating at the possibility.
It depends on the government. The nuclear armed ones, assuming they have the will to nuke their own citizens, can probably never be opposed. As for the others, the possibility of defeating the government is there, given a large enough percentage of the population in revolt, but it wouldn't be very pleasant.
The yuan is being manipulated, but it actually hurts the Chinese more than the US. In effect, the Chinese are subsidizing our lifestyle; goods are cheaper than they would otherwise be.
1. Inventor applies for a patent 2. Inventor hangs patent on wall 3. Everyone else continues as before
I used to be pro-patent, but I feel that the incentive to get a patent (i.e. invent something) is outweighed by the incentive to hire lawyers and sue all those who use the idea.
That's nice and all, but government granted time limited monopolies on certain technologies (commonly referred to as "patents") are the problem here. Remove those, and everyone can benefit from research and increased competition. Then it won't matter who pays the check; everyone can benefit. Paying companies to not patent things (which is what this amounts to) is a round about way of just getting rid of the things.

And now you can't make any opensource implementation of it. That's why Theora and the like are useful; everyone is free to implement it.
I don't think this is surprising. I would have figured a court order would make Facebook give up your data to the court.
EUI-64 addresses are 64 bits.
Far far more than 1. It's more or less like having an internet's worth of IPv4 addresses for every IPv4 address
Your representative sample of 1 is most impressive.
Obi-wan has taught you well.
Now witness the power of our fully armed and operational knowledge engine. Integrates at will!
Pfft, I lick my Ethernet cable to get raw frames, bitches!
I don't know about Comcast for sure, but some of the cell phone companies, at the very least, have multiple private blocks each.

Yes, it is literal. The machine doesn't have sudo installed, and he didn't try running it without sudo.

If you consider hexadecimal numbers to be "cryptic strings," I think it's time to look for work in a different field.
See RFC 5006 for NDP's DNS options.

Facebook has an IM service built in. No file transfer, but IM nonetheless.

NAT 64 is one possible transition mechanism to ipv6 when combined with DNS 64. Of course, they probably are doing what you say.

The way IP SHOULD work is this:
1. Inventor applies for a patent
2. Inventor hangs patent on wall
3. Everyone else continues as before
