It's also clear to me that the only way IPv6 will get adopted is if public bodies start using them and demanding their use. For instance, if Internet2, the US military, or all of.gov start adopting, then it will get off the ground. Of course, this is unlikely to happen because Cisco doesn't sell IPv6 switches.
Uhm. Actually, the DoD has a mandate to be ipv6 compliant by June 2008. Not that this doesn't mean plenty of organizations within the DoD won't get waivers to extend that, but it is a target that is being shot for, as I understand it.
And as I understand it, while nobody is selling anything today that's exclusively ipv6, almost everything you're going to buy is going to have some ipv6 capability. Including things Cisco sells.
IPv6 allows for the router to automatically assign an address to a host when it gets on the network. One way of doing this is by the router telling the host what the network address is and essentially, the host's MAC address gets appended on for the host address.
This isn't the only way to approach addressing in ipv6, but yeah, it is one.
Why the emphasis on NAT boxes saving the day? Why do people think they're so wonderful and with them, we don't need no stinkin' ipv6? I mean, yeah, they've been useful and I'm not disputing that, but I'm not sure they were ever intended as anything beyond a stopgap measure until something better could be found. Not to mention that, as I understand it, they actually impede certain methods of communication over the Internet (anything that needs a real end-to-end connection, I think).
Yes, ipv6 still has a ways to go, but I honestly think it's a much better alternative than sticking with what we've got. We're going to have to do somethinga bout it anyway, since there are plenty of people already starting to use it, or will be in the future.
Regarding sharing your media cards in your camera and your MP3 player, why is that a good thing? Does your camera record MP3s? Chances are that you're going to find yourself never sharing the same media that much because when you need it for photos, it's filled with music, and vice versa.
Pretty sure what they meant was that they wouldn't have to buy two separate types of media cards, but could instead swap between them. This of course assumes they don't fill the card(s) with music or photos as you said.
So are you advocating a world dictator to force people to only direct their research towards areas that you personally approve?
Uhm, no. I never said that "hey, we should go do this right now and everyone else can just forget about", I was trying to say that the possibility exists that that could be so. My original post was a simple, "hmm, i wonder what things would be like if we'd done them differently." Not a, "Hmm, I wonder what things would be like if there was a world dictator to force people to only direct their research towards areas I personally approve."
I bet you're also one of those people that wants to ban KDE (or GNOME) in the interest of a unified Linux desktop.
I can definitely say that I am not one of those people in any way, shape, or form. No cookie for you.

After reading everyone else's responses, I was about to get worried I was the only one around here reading the Star Wars Insider. Now I know I'm not alone.:)
Come to think of it, the only magazine I read with any regularity is the Star Wars Insider. I have a really bad habit of not keeping up with news in general as much as I ought to.
The short answer to why we aren't all driving super-high mileage vehicles is that we as consumers haven't demanded. We want fast, pretty, luxurious, big, cool, cheap, convenient, etc... cars more than we want highly efficient, enviro-friendly cars.
My point was, if all the time, energy, and money that has been spent on finding more oil reserves had been spent on finding other/better energy sources, we might now be driving cars (even larger ones) that perform just as well or better as what we've got now and are much less harmful toward the environment. And, in this fantasy world, since the cars and tech for them would've been around for a while and worked on, it's quite possible that even the cost would be much less prohibitive than it is now.
Makes you wonder, if all the money being put into finding new sources of oil was instead put into new sources of energy, would we all be driving cars that get 80mpg and make almost no emissions? Or, you know, something like that.
When I was a teenager and got my license, they didn't even care about parallel parking.
I don't even live in a suburb/semi-rural area, but in fact, a decent sized town. My driving test consisted of driving around one block, one time. No parallel parking, didn't drive over 30mph, only encountered stop signs not lights, you get the idea.
The written part wasn't even that hard.
So yeah, suffice to say, I only parallel park if I absolutely have to because I've yet to have much experience at all doing it.

No little knobs or antennas sticking out so you can slip it into your pocket and go.
Maybe it's just my phone, but...it has no knobs or an antenna sticking out, and it's compact enough to stick in my pocket and forget about it.
Good reception. Make it work everywhere.
And again, maybe it's just me, but...the only places I've yet to find that my cell doesn't work is way out in the boonies between towns where there's hardly anyone anyway. Inside, outside, all around the town/state/whatever, I've never really had problems with access. (for reference i'm with AT&T Wireless and my cell is a Nokia 3560 I got for free when I signed up with them)
So does that imply that you can't take someone to jail for spam? Or was it just easier to convict him on identity theft charges?

From what I understand, you wouldn't be the first. They also have people wanting to know where the crypts are, every now and again.
"Dickens created the modern novel but his writing style was a bit long in wordiness."
That would be because, as I understand it, he was paid by the word.
"Fortunately, language was well developed by the time he came around. "
Not only that, but he wasn't above developing his own bits of language where he wanted.
Your ipv6 address can be tied to your MAC address. However, it isn't a must-have.
It's also clear to me that the only way IPv6 will get adopted is if public bodies start using them and demanding their use.

And as I understand it, while nobody is selling anything today that's exclusively ipv6, almost everything you're going to buy is going to have some ipv6 capability. Including things Cisco sells.
Which is why ipv6 allows for the creation of temporary addresses.
Which of course, opens up a whole new can of worms.

You also might find she likes other gemstones better than the "vanilla" standard white diamond.
I'd be one of those females who likes other gemstones over the diamond.
I'm also not a yellow gold kind of girl either.
So my point, to the original poster? Have you talked this over with your girlfriend to see what she'd prefer?

How so?
Duplication could still occur, but the difference between a 30-year-old vehicle and a new one should help avoid any confusion, experts say.
"It's common sense," said Val Vitols, executive director of Michigan's Automotive Theft Prevention Authority.
But not many people have/use common sense. They tend to freak out when something new/confusing drops into their path and messes up their routine.

Is it too much to ask people to accept some personal responsibility for their lifestyle choices?
Why take personal responsibility when you can blame someone else and hopefully get lots of money and/or freeload your way through life?
