PermaLink Peer Pressure
This was mentioned in a comment yesterday (thanks, Florian) but, for those of you who do not read comments, I have embedded it here - a darkly humorous take on IPv4 meltdown.


I particularly enjoyed the sight of a room full of live blogging, powerbook toting nerds trying, and conspicuously failing, to clap along in time towards the end - but don't let that devalue what should be a powerful message.

And a slightly more serious take on it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7068140.stm

Yes, I have seen that.

I particularly enjoyed the understatement in "IPv6 will create 340 trillion trillion trillion separate addresses, enough to satisfy demand for decades to come."

There's enough address space there for every atom in the universe to have its own address and there'd still be plenty left, so I think the decades part could comfortably extend a little.
