  1. Re:The ANSWER on If You Think You Can Ignore IPv6, Think Again · · Score: 1

    > Large Scale NAT

    The Internet is not television. Yet.

  2. Re:ISP on If You Think You Can Ignore IPv6, Think Again · · Score: 1

    The scuttlebutt on the SixXS forums implies that the Fritz!Box IPv6 support is broken.

  3. Re:ISP on If You Think You Can Ignore IPv6, Think Again · · Score: 1

    There's nothing to stop you from doing nonstandard subnetting on your /64. If there is a demand for it products that do it will appear, a consensus standard will emerge, and it will be made official.

  4. Re:Most ISPs are doing /56 or /48 for residential on If You Think You Can Ignore IPv6, Think Again · · Score: 1

    You can chop up your /64 any way you want. Nobody cares. It's yours.

  5. Re:No crisis on If You Think You Can Ignore IPv6, Think Again · · Score: 1

    Most of the large end-user ISPs in the US are activly working IPv6 deployment /w end user trials.

    With the large and irritating exception of CenturyLink.

  6. Re:Ugly on If You Think You Can Ignore IPv6, Think Again · · Score: 2

    If your biggest problem is a trivial matter of notation you must be pretty happy with it.

    > How many isps or carriers now are giving ipv6 as an option?

    Comcast, for one.

  8. Re:boring ipv6 articles on If You Think You Can Ignore IPv6, Think Again · · Score: 1

    I believe every single slashdotter knows and understands what the problem is about.

    There are at least half a dozen comments above yours that make it clear that this is not true (and that's ignoring the ACs).

  9. Re:"equivalent to the Y2K problem" on If You Think You Can Ignore IPv6, Think Again · · Score: 2

    No big deal if an equivalent amount of timely effort is put into it. In other words, It'll be what Y2K would have been had we done nothing.

  10. Re:Oh come on on Security Warning Over Web-Based Android Market · · Score: 1

    That'll never work. Can you say drive by attack? Users don't look at these things and criminals know it.

    So what you mean is "That'll never work for fools."

  11. Re:old debacle: convenience vs security on Security Warning Over Web-Based Android Market · · Score: 1

    Or what about people who don't use their Google accounts for anything important?

  12. Re:Minimum on Security Warning Over Web-Based Android Market · · Score: 1

    Not if you could turn it off on the phone. Of course, you should obviously have to authorize each installation manually from the phone anyway.

  13. Re:Spy-vulchers will be next, no doubt on Israeli Company Trains Security Mice · · Score: 1

    > This reminds me of the recent story of executing a vulture...

    I know of no reports that the bird was "executed".

    > ...for suspicious activity...

    It was wearing a radio collar with Hebrew on it (installed by an Israeli university for the usual reasons).

    > I have to wonder how much mass hysteria we will see in the Middle East.....

    Hopefully less the in the USA and Europe.

  14. Re:How long will v6 last on Internet Groups To Stream Live IPv4/6 Announcement · · Score: 1

    There may be reasons other than a shortage of addresses for replacing IPv6.

  15. Re:Seamless on Internet Groups To Stream Live IPv4/6 Announcement · · Score: 1

    > NO NAT!

    There can be NAT if you want it. It just isn't necessary any more.

    No DHCP

    Yes there is. Of course, neither NAT or DHCP has anything to do with the standard.

    > MUST include full IPSec. No attention on privacy or security.

    You contradict yourself.

  16. Re:We want NAT-PT! on Internet Groups To Stream Live IPv4/6 Announcement · · Score: 1

    On the contrary, the whole end-to-end principle has got to go away. End users don't need to connect to other end users.

    After all, the Internet is just another kind of television, right? And centralized systems are so much easier for governments to control.

  17. Re:Why should he need a license? on N.C. Official Sics License Police On Computer Scientist For Too Good a Complaint · · Score: 1

    Since when is talking about technology the same as practicing without a license?

    it isn't, of course. The complaint is without merit. It's just an attempt at harassment. "Regulation" is handy for that.

  18. Hack Chrome, Win $20,000 on Hack Chrome, Win $20,000 · · Score: 2

    Shouldn't the prize be a free copy of Chrome?

    Oh. Wait...

    How can you say that? It's for the iPad! everything for the iPad is cool!. Oh. Wait. It's from NewsCorp. Everything from NewsCorp is vile and dorky. Arrgh! The cognitive dissonance! It hurts!

  20. IPs are not fungible. on Internet Groups To Stream Live IPv4/6 Announcement · · Score: 1

    Unless you like the idea of routing tables the size of the moon.

  21. Re:I Want to have a multicast address on Internet Groups To Stream Live IPv4/6 Announcement · · Score: 1

    It would cost more and take longer to fix all the stuff that blocks the reserved addresses than to convert that stuff to IPv6.

  22. Re:Typical USA sensibilities on Internet Groups To Stream Live IPv4/6 Announcement · · Score: 1

    > ...since when is the internet bounded by the borders of the USA?

    Who said anything about the USA? He's on about California.

    > What's the point of IANA, now that they've given out all their numbers?

    Who do you think gives out IPv6 numbers?

    > Seriously, the holders of the various /8's can form a new organization to govern themselves now.

    I can think of no good reason for them to do that.

    > I am a native Californian. Even WE think we all do this.

    Whereas in fact you sleep in until 11 and then "do lunch", consisting of raw fish and margaritas.

    BTW I was up at 6:30, but then I live on a farm in Wisconsin. Here in the Midwest we all get up early to milk the cows. In the East they're all up early for the three hour commute to their office jobs in the city.
