Comment The switch from DC to AC (Score 2, Interesting) 340

I suspect the switch to IPv6 will take about as long as the switch from DC to AC electricity. IPv4 is so ingrained in hardware and software that it will take decades after the last IPv4 only hardware has been produced for the switch to occur. Additionally, the cost of IPv4 addresses is going to need to rise above the couple of dollars a year it currently is at. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/11/14/off-goes-the-power-current-started-by-thomas-edison/

Modern key-logging software captures the area under the mouse on each mouse click. The defeats those on-screen keyboards, and web-sites which force you to do the same. This of course requires software to be running on your hosts. There's existing technology which can reconstruct an image from a CRT using EFI, but LCD screens are a lot harder to pick up.
