Nice... but... wall street is sucking up the top talent in engineering at an alarming rate, because engineers are good thinkers and are mathematically talented.. and those trading algorithms, so the big companys can trade stocks in nanoseconds, are not going to write themselves.
Can this be likened to the:
AMD CPU's are useless for "Audio Recording & Audio Processing" balderdash that was going around 10 years ago?

Telstra (Australia) is handing out data plans with their smart phone which are limited to 150MB per month (inclusive of uploads & downloads), and then the pain begins.
NAT's & firewalls are completely different!
Firewalls are for security. NAT's are not.
NAT is needed to connect multiple networked units through a single internet connection where only a single IP address has been provided... or a similar scenario where many networkable units require connection through a significantly reduced number of connection points.
Just a quick note that at home, I have two laptops, one desktop PC, one server PC, two iphones (via wifi), one Wii, one PS3, one network enabled HDTV, one networked Bluray player (not PS3) and one HD movie box... and that's 11 IP address right there.... what's that rumour I keep hearing about IPV4 addresses running out?
Moving to IPV6 sounds like a great idea.. but once again... why would you have hundreds/thousands/millions/billions of external IP addresses assigned, when you really only need one or even several IP presences to the rest of the world.
If every single unit has it's own external IP, it's fully addressable by the rest of the world, and hence accessible to the rest of the world.
Network Address Translation is here to stay, and so it should be.
I wouldn't even know where to start in installing a firewall on my Wii:p

Msconfig & System Management are your friends. Safe mode is your friend. Failing that -> Linux Distro LiveCD is your friend ;)

Japan ran out of land 200 years ago ....
Australia is busy building houses on it's high-yield agricultural land ....
How long until it IS feasible?
