Just use global addresses. I guess you could use site-local (or the even more obscure administratively defined local), it's a mindset kind of thing, you still can have all the firewalls you want while keeping your addressing space global. In IPv6 privacy is not about having your own address space.
P.S. Dvorak doesn't improve speed. That's a fallacy. Navy did a study, no improvement (even with newly trained typists).
I can't vouch for the average, but I went from 70 to 80+ by switching keyboards, though that may have something to do with the fact that I relearned things correctly. Now, if you forget statistics for a while, why wouldn't speed improve? Your fingers type a lot less distance.
Having said all that, comfort is the greatest reason to switch. My wrists just don't hurt anymore. The only pain I have is in my middle right hand finger from the stupid mousewheel (which is way to useful to give up).

What do you mean by switchincg to IPv6? you'll still need to provide some sort of IPv4 connectivity because your users will ask for it. XP is pretty much IPv6 ready, but you'll have to make some investment in equipment and training, it isn't as simple as it sounds.
IPSec is part of IPv6 anything that supports IPv6 MUST support IPSec. You don't need DHCP for most cases (though you can still use it for "managed" situations) IPv6 pretty much takes care of autoconfiguration.
The world of IPv6 will be much simpler than that of IPv4, but getting there will be a total pain in the neck.

Kinda, FEC0::/10 is defined as site local (where a site is an administrator defined boundary. You can still use FE80::/10 to refer to link local (which is defined as 0 router hops from me), FEC0::/10 is indeed deprecated, you can still use FE80::/10, actually it is prefered for many uses instead of global addresses because it is likely to be more stable (most of the time it is made up of the Interface Identifier, i.e. the MAC address in ethernet).
Man, this IPv6 course I took last week is making me tons of karma:)

IPv6 works in a very different way from IPv4, there is no need for private use networks. Each device on a network gets not one, but a few addresses, you have your loopback (::1), but you also have your link local (FE80::/32 an address that's unique in your network but doesn't get routed outside of it) and you can use this for many of the same things you use private addresses in IPv4. Oh, yeah, you also get a multicast address (FF02:/32 that other nodes and the router can use to find your MAC address). That's on top of a bunch of other addresses you may be listening to depending on what you are on the network (dhcp, router, etc)

Well, you do have to discount all of the reserved ranges, among them 2001::/32,::/128, F::/120, etc.
All monkeys have opposable thumbs, that is in fact one of the defining characteristics of primates. Of all the primates, I believe only humans have 2 opposable thumbs, the rest have 4.
Why are you so ungrateful? This person is going to the trouble of giving away something which is no use for them but may be useful to someone else. They are going to the trouble of sending it to Africa (which I'm sure is not free). They could just have thrown it away instead. If your charity doesn't want any used stuff just don't accept it, and let other charities who colud use it take it.
It's not like people HAVE to donate stuff.
Wow, I did not know all of this. Funny, Lion King is probably the Disney movie I most dislike, it all seems contrived, and way too full of cliches (even for a Disney movie). I did not know all of this. I'm surpised there isn't a huge lawsuit about it. Of course, Disney could always travel back in time with a copy of Lion King and sue the makers of Kimba de White Lion
While we're on the subject, can anyone please explain to me why every kids movie has to have a volcano or fire that characters have to jump through? Shrek, Jungle Book 2, Lion King, Ice Age.
Leave it to Disney to severely edit yet another Asian product...
Are you refering to Mulan? If so, Disney didn't edit it, they pretty much wrote a new work *loosely* based on the original poem (which I've read in what I'm told is a good translation into Esperanto). I found particularly funny one line in the poems that mentions Mulan leaving "little brother" behind, in the Disney movie that's her dog's name.
Still, all in all, it's probably one of my favorite Disney movies, its heroic, has a good message (particularly for little girls: you can do anything a man can do) and balances well a G rating with the harshness of war (that scene when they go into the recently hun-plundered village makes me gasp every time).
oh, you can put it sideways (as if the electrons would fall out)?
My personal theory...
The layout and orientation of the computer can affect the speed of same. If the drives are above the processor the electrons going to the drives have gravity assist, so the processor reads faster (or is it the opposite? depending on the flow of electricity), of course when writing to the drive this is the opposite effect, so depending on the type of operation you're performing it'd be cool to see a computer that can rotate to change the relative position of different components.
The only thing is that these groups you mention have not been given monopoly power on the use of force, and guns to apply that power. Though I can see the intent of your argument against prejudice, I think the allegory is slightly flawed.
If we really need it for something crucial we can always go to one of the gas planets to get some, they have plenty to spare.
Are there many industrial processes that use Helium that can't use something else besides making us talk funny? Sure, its chemically inert, which I imagine means that it can be used to isolate substances, but there are other noble gases that can be used, and at leas Argon is plentiful.
1. Many applications, particularly closed source ones aren't compiled to YOUR machine, but to the lowest common denominator.
2. Java actually optimizes twice, once during compile and once at run time. At runtime it has information that it just doesn't have at compile time that can help it optimize differently.
In many cases java IS indeed slower than a static compiled language, but modern java environments make an excellent trade-off of slight performance degradations with a fairly close portability promise.
Re: Java GUIs being slow
They can actually be quite fast and responsive, if written correctly. I run eclipse on my PIII500Mhz on Fedora Core 1 and it runs very nicely. Some changes coming down the line in Java 1.5 might actually make it even more responsive, for some things even faster than typical C++ applications (the run-time optimizer cannot easily be duplicated in statically compiled languages.)
