16 Reserved for Future Use. Those 47 blocks means that approximately 18.36% of the IPv4 space is currently sitting empty. That's not even counting the the 16/8 blocks reserved for Multicast, the 127/8 block reserved for a single IP (127.0.0.1).
Except that the reserved, multicast and loopback networks can't be used since many (most?) IPv4 stacks just plain won't support doing global scoped unicast on those addresses. If you're going to demand that the whole world upgrades their IPv4 stacks to support the reallocation of addresses that were never intended to be public unicast addresses, you may as well demand they upgrade to IPv6 instead.
The problem with reserving things for future use is that, eventually, they'll be assigned to something. That's what "Reserved for Future Use" means. I'll admit, I haven't checked the source code for any modern TCP/IP stacks, but I wouldn't be surprised if they support global unicast on any of the Reserved blocks past the Multicast range.
Since nearly 20% of the IPv4 space is currently empty, I can't see how they can make the claim that we're running out of addresses with a straight face.
People can make the claim with a straight face because they have a clue what they are talking about - something which you clearly don't.
You are aware that, while I counted the Reserved blocks, I didn't count the loopback or multicast blocks. Even without the Reserved blocks, that's still 31/8 blocks (or 12.1%) of the IPv4 address space free, still not including anything in the CIDR notation blocks.
To quote myself from a post I made on another site:
According to IANA, of the 256/8 IPv4 blocks, there are 31 Unallocated blocks and 16 Reserved for Future Use. Those 47 blocks means that approximately 18.36% of the IPv4 space is currently sitting empty. That's not even counting the the 16/8 blocks reserved for Multicast, the 127/8 block reserved for a single IP (127.0.0.1), or counting any unallocated blocks in the CIDR networks.
Anyone who says we're running out of IPv4 addresses needs to go back and look at what is actually allocated and what isn't. Since nearly 20% of the IPv4 space is currently empty, I can't see how they can make the claim that we're running out of addresses with a straight face.
Look at it from the corporate side. Corporations exist for the quick buck. Free money from the government is the ultimate quick buck. Now that the government has sunk so much money into AIG the government has acquired a case of sunk costs syndrome. They will not let AIG go now, no matter the cost. A cost which AIG itself can manipulate. So what's the only route a responsible corporation can take to fulfill its lawful duty to act only in the interest of proift? Soak the government for every penny it can.
One problem with this logic: The government is now the majority shareholder and can fire all the AIG executives.
I'm not very good with thedetailed explanation, as I am not a Parrot developer, but Parrot's VM is geared toward dynamically typed languages like Perl, Python, Ruby, and PHP. The JVM and CLR are geared toward static typed languages, which is why dynamic language ports to the CLR generally require code changes and cleanup to work properly under those environments.

Sounds to me like an Administrator who enjoys his powers a little too much. Not everyone would take kindly to being in the receiving end of these words, even if these words don't apply to him.
The game's in-game announcer is a somewhat sadistic woman who is obsessed with failure.

Hey, HTTP has this neat header named "Accept-Encoding." Some valid values in this header are "gzip" and "compress".
Perhaps you see where I'm going with this...?
(In case you didn't, see the documentation for Apache's mod_deflate.)
I've never personally tried it, but supposedly the Linux kernel will compile with the Intel C compiler and libc.
Combine it with the BSD userland and the good, old fashioned Linux Loader (LILO) and you can have a GNU-less Linux.
Figures, a gem like this post only comes up when I don't have mod points.

That's how CGI works: It launches a CLI application, passing data to it through a series of defined environment variables and STDIN (POST only).
Sorry, Maxthon is missing one killer feature that I can't live without: Not being Internet Explorer.

Why not 640kbps? After all, 640K ought to be enough for anybody.
Yes, so is the voice of the Overwatch government from HL2!
