DHCP is not necessary for IPv6. Most likely, they'll assign a/64 to your router, and from there, your individual machines will self-assign permanent addresses based on their MACs.
But it's possible that the/64 could vary, I suppose. Hopefully we'll find out soon.
Unless Comcast is totally bucking well-established standards (which for them is possible, but I really don't see it) then every customer will be allocated a/64. In other words, every customer will have the square of the IPv4 address space to play with.
Seems like they'd have to relax rules on listening ports.
quite clear that the unlimited mobile internet plan can only be used on the mobile device
Can you explain exactly what it means to "use" bandwidth? Because the argument can certainly be made that only the phone is using it. It's the only thing talking with the carrier, right?
I tether on Sprint with my Samsung m610. Sprint does not support this, but they do sell an unlimited data plan, to which I subscribe. Yes, "unlimited". The terms of service address do address tethering, along the lines of: "The phone cannot be used to tether to a laptop." If it said "may not", you may have a point, but as it is, it's simply a false statement in the contract, not a prohibition.
Time Warner here in Austin has an option for just the minimum: the broadcast channels plus CSPAN or something for (I think) $8.75/month. They don't bring it up a lot. It's at least worth asking your cable company about.
Well, suppose they bribed or tricked the CEO's secretary. She has the CEO's email password, not because she works for StrongWebmail.com, but because she's his secretary.
That kind of attack has nothing to do with the service, since she wouldn't have everybody else's password too. And it would work against pretty much any (gullible or corrupt) secretary, regardless of the system or security.
If your requirement is to be able to run Windows software, then there may in fact be "no serious alternatives". Now, clearly they should step back and look at the bigger picture.
Wasn't there a study a year or two ago, which was loudly trumpeted by NPR, CNN, MSNBC, etc, that concluded that manmade global warming (or "climate change") was already a sure thing, and it was way past too late for us to do anything about it now.
So, uh... What happened to that? Was that fake, or is this guy ignorant? Or do climate-change types believe stuff whenever it's convenient for them?

RFC 2460 was publish in 1998. There's nothing "draft" about IPv6; it's quite mature. Sounds like you have a Microsoft problem, not an IPv6 problem.
That's a link-local address. It doesn't do anything for you in the wider world.

There will be no paying extra for additional IPs. Everybody will get a /64. Look at this:
Addresses available in IPv4: 4,294,967,296
Addresses available PER CUSTOMER for IPv6: 18,446,744,073,709,551,616
This enables stateless autoconfiguration (usually based on MAC addresses) that simplifies everybody's lives.

That's where I keep all my stuff!!
You've described a situation, but I don't see a reason there.

Can the barber spring for $10/month cable and get analog broadcast channels over the wire?
It's open source, what more do you want?
It isn't when it's inside of Chrome.

But it doesn't test their software.

Let me know when you're ready to start construction.
If I don't know "why" irony is? I'm afraid I don't understand you.
Perhaps reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony#Verbal_irony_including_sarcasm will clear things up for you.
whooooosh
In my day they sent out floppy disks. You know, the kind that could be erased and something useful put on them. It was great!

Can I have her number?

That's a different episode.
