Comment Re:IPv6 Addresses (Score 2) 305

How do we manage this with phone numbers? We have someone call or text us, store the received number in our cell phone's phonebook, give it a descriptive name and we forget about the number. If only we had something like this for IP-addresses... Oh, we do! It's called DNS and works fine for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Can we now please stop whining people cannot remember 128 bits?

I have 1 public facing ip and my whole house behind it. Why would i want 20 devices with their asses hanging out on the web?

Why would you want more than 640 KB RAM?

Anyway, you don't seem to understand IPv6 very well, as many people who are somehow against it. This discussion has been done many times already and I will not repeat it. You just keep your IPv4 and be happy with it. But let others have their IPv6.

the fact that you try to shield pedos is disgusting. these people cannot be rehabilitated and every parent should know where pedos live around them. Actually US already provides this info with handy maps. Once I had a really creepy neighbor move in and I looked him up there but did not find anything to my surprise.

What makes pedos different from murderers and thieves and guys who beat up their wifes? They have been punished and then get on with their life. Chasing them for the rest of their life does not make them behave any better.

May I remind you that most child abuse happens by non-creepy looking uncles, teachers, pastors, babysitters, etc. They are around you, always. And what will you do if you know where they live? Go to their house with torches? Keep your kids inside forever? You have to learn to deal with it. Teach your children not to go with strange men. And talk to your children so you know something is going on in case a non-stranger is doing things they are not supposed to.

I guess you are an American citizen. I'm not, so according to you/your laws the NSA can do what they want to me. I'm not happy with and I thank Snowden for revealing the USA treats everyone who is not American as a terrorist.

BTW: I'm not a terrorist, so STOP FUCKING EAVESDROPPING ON ME. Thanks.

... to buy a light bulb, come home and read the small text on the box that says: "works with Apple devices only".

We *must* use open standards here and not let Google, Apple or whoever infiltrate our houses any further. But looking at how easily folks sell their soul to Apple or Google (Android), I'm not holding my breath. Next time you buy a house, you'll have to decide Apple, Google or Microsoft...
