I warn Vint Cerf: if you had not done such a crappy job of designing IPv6 then you would not be whining now about why people do not want to use it. The warning: next time let somebody competent lead the project, if there is any next time for you.
Bleah. Vint Cerf, narcissist, responsible for arguably the most expensive technological mistake in history.
Still getting downmods for calling Vint Cerf what he is. If you had ever met him, you would know too.

The fact that there are agile weenies slithering around slashdot doing downmods on every crtiticism pretty much shows you what the whole charade is about. Snake oil salesmen of yore.
Careful reading of your post... good one. Tech management is a self propagating delusion, they want it that way, they keep getting paycheques for basically just wanking. If projects got finished all kinds of bad things would happen, like successful engineering leads getting promoted above them. It's bad enough that the engineers get paid more. God forbid they get recognized for competence as well.
I'm confused. Where do you get the idea that they made no attempt at backward compatibility?
Other than it being a layer 3 protocol, ipv6 is incompatible with ipv4, please don't act stupid. As a protocol ipv6 is completely incompatible with ipv4. Must I express this in words of fewer syllables?
Nobody I have met has ever seen agile actually work. I have personal experience of a depressingly large number of projects where it did nothing other than annoy the engineers and waste their time.
The financial services industry will NOT use IPv6 because multicast doesn't work properly on switches, there is no good way to filter unwanted traffic.
I used to get downmodded for calling Vint Cerf an idiot. But he is. Actually. And a vindictive narcissist to boot. Might have something to do with the fiasco, must maybe?
Sad to say, there are many with you on that. Start over, and make it an extension of IPv4 this time. Just add one or two extra bytes to the high end of the address and deal with the issues, which are many and varied, but IPv6 has nearly all of the same issues and a bunch of its own making. At least make an attempt at compatibility. It's hard to think of anything worse than the current situation, but sigh, I suppose if you threw even more incompetence at the effort than the IPv6 designers did, it could be achieved.

I have. Leaves nothing to the imagination.
What you said.
My comment was anti-agile, which according to you makes it "shit". Just fuck off.
IGMP is not an ipv6 protocol.

In the ways that count, ipv6 is incompatible. As everybody says, but you.

Don't do shit that wastes engineering time, duh.
Smells like some rotten middle manager with mod points scuttling around here.
What is the difference between the second and third example? One of them has skill in estimation, and the other doesn't. That's it.
More likely, the 3rd one was just checking in white space. Works like a charm, seen it with my own eyes, people like you get fooled every time.
The noun "agile" has no definition, that is, not until now, where it basically means "wanking".

Reality is, of course, that those managers are fully aware where the problems came from
In their own minds.
Agile is no better and no worse that any other way of doing business.
No, bzzzt, wrong, it's worse than nothing, it's a net negative for any project.
The only agile that ever worked is NASA's space program launches, there each launch is was its own sprint, sometimes lasting years
And they didn't have any "agile" methodology to get in the way.
You don't know WTF you're talking about.

IPv6 day was the grownups sending a pretty clear message that clowning around with transition schemes were no longer appreciated.
Typical ipv6 goon, patronizing. Yah, that's going to work. News for you: ipv6 mafia are the clowns. Not just my opinion.
Nobody I have met has ever seen agile actually work. I have personal experience of a depressingly large number of projects where it did nothing other than annoy the engineers and waste their time.
Agile, the idea, is total bullshit. Its execu-speak at its worst. Just fucking grade-a unproductive hot air
Downmodded by a PHB with modpoints?
The financial services industry will NOT use IPv6 because multicast doesn't work properly on switches, there is no good way to filter unwanted traffic.
That's probably the biggest problem with IPv6 - an attempt to solve more than what's really necessary with one blow.
That and not making the slightest attempt at backward compatibility. Like those guys lived in an ivory tower or something.
