Dispelling the IPv4 Address Shortage Myth 505
Zocalo writes "While looking up some WHOIS information at RIPE just now I noticed a couple of articles about the IPv4 address space allocation status. IPv4 Address Space: October 2003 is a short summary by RIPE themselves, and IPv4 - How long have we got? is from July 2003, but has lots more detail and pretty graphs!
In short, the "Death of the Internet" due to lack of IP space is a myth, which doesn't bode well for getting IPv6 rolled out any time soon."

I think I want a screensaver where each pixel has an ip, and then we can replace X with a simple protocol just sending colors!!

My super-leet replacement would not.
We are talking about replacing X, remember. This is an important aspect of the grand plan.
Should I apply for a patent?

About then we should be discussing whether housebricks should have IP addresses to report being dug through, or whether being able to detect movement means it could detect the movement from soundwaves, people talking. I can only hope I don't have to shout into each brick the serial number from the inevitable shrinkwrap license.
