    hours of typing for pros and cons, but I'll agree the JVM can be all right for running other languages with slimmer libraries.

    the ISP or someone above them generally "owns" even a ipv4 net block for us little guys....not sure I'd worry about it for the present. if someday sixxs pulls the rug out from under my /64 subnet, I'd just go to another provider.

    (old fart story time) My employer had comcast change their static ipv4 ip out from under them, had to find out what it was. then a couple weeks later they changed it back by accident (we're talking a routed subnet for a few dozen servers here).

    you're half right...find the jvm developers and beat the living shit out of them. Documented backward incompatibilities. of course, some maintain that's what the jvm and j2ee is, the diseased shit out of a certain kind of developer

    that's the truth, for the language itself warmed over 1980s c++ concepts, then the promise of right-once - run anywhere in practice just a pile of B.S., the typical libraries used make business apps bloated hardware hogs.....now add to that the Oracle ogre.....fuck java, the jvm and j2ee. Superior lightweight alternatives are being embraced except for those companies with time and money to burn. And if you want to descend to an even deeper level of Hell, than sign IBM up for websphere project and watch the con-slut-ants descend like vampires

    You could have ipv6 in minutes on your OpenSuse box, with your existing network gear. You could do the quick and dirty way with merido, or spend some more time and have the full monty, with no money at all and not changing your ipv4 gear. I have at&t ipv4 only adsl to my home, yet every box in my home has full ipv6 automatic address assignment and access, and moreover my servers at home have *static* ipv6 addresses, even though my ipv4 connection is dynamic. How 'bout them apples? I happen to use SixXs free service, but there are many others. Educate yourself, quit cursing the darkness and light a candle.

    Your proposed "solution" would be a routing nightmare, the routing tables would be too huge, wouldn't work. ipv6 solves that problem and keeps all routing tables small, because it was designed by very smart people who did work in the real world. ipv6 works great, works well on dual stack machine with ipv4, and can be set up by anyone anywhere even if they only have ipv4, including static address even if their connection is dynamic dhcp.
