Comment Re:The guide to IPv6 conversion (Score 1) 376

If you're running a modern OS, it's fairly easy to set up a tunnel.

Register on either http://tunnelbroker.net/ or http://www.sixxs.net/main/ and create a new tunnel for yourself. There are instructions on how to start the tunnel which will put that single machine on the IPv6 network.

From there, you can look into setting up RAdvD (if *nix) to act as an endpoint on your network, supplying IPv6 IPs to everything on it automatically.

The next step would be to have an ISP which supplies an IPv6 address to your router (which would need to support it, most cheap ones don't currently), which removes the need for a tunnel and RAdvD, but this step is going to be some time coming..

True enough, for the physical connection stuff, but for pretty much everything else (bar the really (cpu|memory) intensive servers) can be virtualised :)

Running things on the same box is a problem if you don't have something like vSphere or Citrix XenServer, with their live migration abilities.

Eh? If a pedestrian doesn't press a button, there is NO pedestrian phase (generally).

I'll admit, some lights do have a sensor to see if there's a pedestrian waiting, but those tend to be for checking if the button has been pressed and there really is a pedestrian waiting, rather than crossing anyway or running off somewhere else..
