No. A last/16 will be kept from the last/8. As soon as all/22 from that/8 are gone, the last/16 will be allocated as well. Unless it's been claimed for something else, first.
They are not out. They have a/8 remaining. Yes, a/22 is not a lot, but this will ensure that APNIC will not run out for the next few years (unless people start registering LIRs like crazy).
As all the large players have gotten their large allocations already, they will not run out themselves that quickly, either.
This still means that IPv6 must be deployed yesteryear, but APNIC has not, and will not, run out of IPv4 any time soon. They will just not hand it out like candy any more.

At a wild guess, the unwillingness to let something you built up transform it into something you don't want it to while losing all possibility to change anything.
No, I was simply stating that people in power are not unheard of having cheated their way up.
The argument that someone who is not able to read, write and talk on even a juvenile level is unlikely to be able to graduate Magna Cum Laude was so obvious to me, I omitted it.
I would also like to ask you to look at his track record. He's like an inverse Midas; everything he ever touched turned to shit.
Given all this, I think the likelihood of this, or any, degree held by him to be have been gained fairly is quite literally zero.

I agree, but I happen to think this about your comment.

Wrong question.
How many civilians died in Lybia as a direct or indirect result of this intervention? How many would have died if not for this intervention?
How many civilians died in Iraq as a direct or indirect result of an attack war which was based on undeniably proven falsehoods from day one? How many would have died if not for this attack war?
Iraquis are dying like flies. They still are. The numbers boggle the mind and make you sick. It's just that no one gives a fuck.
So did zu Guttenberg in Germany. He copy and pasted more than 85% of his thesis and that's a proven fact. If not for this proof, he would still be our Minister of Defense.
A hospital he was on the Board for gave them lots of money some months after he got his PhD.
Let's not dwell on the fact that it should be, quite literally, impossible to overwhelm emergency services (hint: If you fill up capacity, YOU! NEED! MORE!).
Let's just rest assured that the most hysteric people will go through while the people who manage to remain calm will wait forever.
But that does not matter as this is a non-fix to the symptoms, not a fix to the actual root cause.

You have, quite literally, no idea what you are talking about. The German university and research backbone DFN is staffed with incredibly bright minds and has been pushing technology on quite a few frontiers.
They gave up proxying in the 90ies.
Why?
* It's cheaper to just add more bandwidth * In any network of non-trivial size, there are a lot of possible routes traffic can go and you need to account for this and changing in the routing * you need to store Terabytes of data * caches will be i/o bound
Long story short: They were busy keeping the cache in sync and it cost them _considerably_ while making service worse.
Distribute your content, cache at the source or at the end. But not in the middle. This does not scale.
> How else would you go about entering a conversation that you did not start? How is that possibly a bad thing? Especially for a community based website!
People who just come to bitch about and AfD are, in fact, Not A Good Thing.
People who come to participate in the discussion and/or source the article are A Good Thing.
tl;dr: meatpuppet is a term coined by people who have pre-determined that outside influence, even by long-term wikipedians, is a bad thing.
You seem to be forgetting the point where people who wouldn't know about an AfD get in on sourcing the article.
Of course, that seems not to be in the interest of the person who created the AfD more often than not. All of a sudden, all those pesky references start coming up.
Good thing there are cases as clear-cut as this one where it's obvious that any admin with an axe to grind has the God-given right to ignore all of this with the meatpuppet argument you put forth so eloquently.
And yes, I am bitter about the deletionists and this is part of why I stopped editing WP.

> Within RIPE policy, the remaining addresses in the final /8 are reserved for unforeseen events, whatever that may be...
No. A last /16 will be kept from the last /8. As soon as all /22 from that /8 are gone, the last /16 will be allocated as well. Unless it's been claimed for something else, first.
> Before you even mention it, the /22 is per LIR, but there are not that many LIRs in China due central government control.
If the gov thinks allowing sub-LIRs will get them more /22, they will allow them in no time at all.
They are very aware of the need to go v6 though.
Still, my point remains: While we truly reached the birthing pain stage now, APNIC will not run out any time soon.
Maybe this comes from the fact that, coming from an ISP background, I am focusing on APNIC while you are focusing on Asia-Pacific as a whole.
I agree that IPv4 is running out fast, but it's not out yet. And it will never truly be as v6 will have replaced it by that time.
Then we simply disagree on what "out" means. As long as they still have a lot of IPv4, they are not out, in my book.
In your book, they are.
That's about it.
Either way, IPv6 is the way to go and I am happy that this will happen soonish (ha. ha.)
Bullshit.
They are not out. They have a /8 remaining. Yes, a /22 is not a lot, but this will ensure that APNIC will not run out for the next few years (unless people start registering LIRs like crazy).

No.

The world or their friends?
When going against Amazon? Those guys will fine-comb the background of anyone by default and doubly so when up against the RIAA.
Fascinating. The companies and people living from supporting GPL software will probably starve just to make you right.
Yes, the gatekeeper role of "only I can sell you this software" is weakened a lot. But other business opportunities spring up.
..then why do people keep on creating?
Yes, the Internet is a disruptive technology. No, society as we know it will not cease to exist.
...I honestly didn't know they still made the Itanium.
