Even better, the crack MSNBC reporting team somehow only thinks this thing is worth $260!
"The $260 Genesis mission was bringing back to Earth a set of fragile disks containing billions of atoms collected from solar wind, the first cosmic samples to be returned to Earth from beyond the moon."
I'd personally would have put *atleast* $500 into it if you wanted it to land correctly!

FEC0::/10 is used (currently) as an equivalent to 10.x.x.x/8, 172.16.x.x/16 and 192.168.x.x/24.
Unfortunately, its in the process of being deprecated. So don't expect it to last long.

I'd like a riding mower that you can train with GPS or something. After a few training sessions, you could let it go itself.
Collision avoidance is all and good, except when you have a pond...and when you collide with the water, well its too late.

IPv6 could be used to alleviate this by using Ipv6 network layer encryption. Still, it would be easier to just MD5 your BGP tcp sessions or fix the tcp stack with a patch vs. move to IPv6
Instead of all that work, why not just get one of these.
The only drawback with this device is the backend must run on a Win32 box...but the little device already runs Linux. Of course this is only good for mpeg1/2 streaming..but if thats all you would do with your Cube..why bother hacking it all up?
When will slashdot have an IPv6 interface? By adding v6 to the services and sites that are most used on the internet, it will only accelerate the full migration.
For those who think IPv4 NAT is good enough, these are the drawbacks as compared with IPv6:
1) NAT breaks the end-to-end connection model of IP
2) NAT keeps a stateful connection table. If a NAT device is rebooted or looses its' configuration, the connection mappings are lost.
3) NAT prohibits end-to-end security as the IP header can't be modified.
4) If you use a 10.0.0.0/8 on one end of a network, and want to connect via NAT to another 10.0.0.0/8 network, you can't do it. Imagine connecting to a friends nat'd device when it uses the same IP schema as you use.
5) Servers on the NAT subnet can't use the same external port (say 80). Externally, they must map to 80 and 81. If the number of servers in the NAT network is large, you can easily run out of NAT IP TCP/UDP Ports.
NAT is good, but IPv6 is better.
Bring on IPv6. Check out HS247 for more information.
What I want is a way to "train" my lawnmower with a GPS...then once trained (mow one week or two), I could just fuel up the mower and let it do its work...automatically, without me sitting on the thing for 3 hours.
I've worked with a Canadian company called IpPlus located in southern Alberta which used a combination of Microwave gear from Harris along with a mish-mash of LAN style wireless gear from Waverider.
I think they had about 8 sites, connected in a ring topology using some Marconi ATM switches connected via a local ds3 or ethernet connection to the towers.
Depending on the size, either a point to point style network could be configured or a ring style topology. With a ring, you have some level of redundancy.
This works very well for them and allows them to grow the network easily. A starter node shouldn't be that expensive either..so if you can put up a tower or two, you should be in great shape.
The network spans many hundred miles over microwave..so distance really isn't a problem for them.
Good luck, and you should come back in a year or so and let us know what you decided on doing!
Someone should start their own support company only supporting OSS. They could list the projects they support, and the versions they support officially on a webpage or something.
Corporations could then pay these folks directly for the apps they use.
There doesn't need to be any vendor affiliation or platform affiliation, just that they support something like MySQL on Redhat, Suse, MS Windows 2000 server, Solaris 9 etc..
If you want to use that particular app, but don't want to trust support to the internet masses, then you could use something like this.
Plus, it might help employ OSS programmers while allowing them to work on the stuff they love.
