Unless your router and scanner are networked on a hub, I don't see how that is an issue.
Okay, so I was wrong about support in devices other than computers. 12 years people. 12 years and we still have this lackluster support? Seriously? What a freaking joke.
If modern routers and switches aren't IPv6 capable, that's a failure on the part of the companies making them, and those companies should refund everyone their money for being so idiotically short-sighted.
Big dollars? Are you nuts? 99% of all operating systems released since Windows ME have support for IPv6. The hardest part of the upgrade is actually switching over to it. There is no hardware to upgrade and there is no software to upgrade.

It has indeed begun.
Those who said NAT wasn't the answer: You are correct, unless you are a spammer, in which case this is a windfall.
In the first sentence: alleged.
Whether true or not, there are consequences for theft.

agreed
After 12 years, this should not be an issue. 12 years folks!
Are you seriously that stuck on IPv4? How are the requirements for IPv6 space higher? How could you not qualify for an allocation? And who is "us"?
agreed
That's absolutely and utterly horrendous.
2 years of meetings that could have already have happened. IPv6 has been around for 12 years. Get a clue.
It may not be going anywhere, but it will still run out of address space very, very soon.
They just don't like my sig.

How about not losing their Internet connectivity? Seems like a pretty direct benefit to me.
That just makes it worse.

They will once IPv4 runs out.
There is nothing special about IPv4. Upgrade your systems to IPv6 already, folks. It's been around for what? 10 years now? Give me a break.
Need $$$. I'm a student.
I wish I played those games (except the C&C, I play that every now and again), I'd buy multiple copies just to show my support. (:
that's cruel.
Technically not a printer, but yeah...that's just nerdy. lol
I wonder what it is about computers that causes this social amnesia and inability to see parallel situations?
I often wonder that myself. ):
Are you saying that a meme has come true?!
1.) Develop F/OSS
2.) Market it to a broad range of users
3.) ???
4.) Profit!
Yeah, that was nice (not having the commercial spin). I guess the founder of Wikipedia is in desperate need of cash.
