The problem there is it will cause pain to all the wrong people. New business, need 5 IPs? That'll cost ya! Go with IPv6, half your customers ISPs haven't crawled out of the slime yet and so they won't be able to reach you at all.

The ISPs themselves? They have a massive pool of IPs and they aren't afraid to NAT them.

Until major sites start having v4 blackout days, the pain won't hit the right people.

Actually, it was never crying wolf. The wolf was actually there, it's just that it was a long way off in the '90s. It has been headed our way in a strait line ever since. You needed a telescope to see it in the '90s, now you don't even need to squint.

And apparently, a warning that far in advance wasn't enough since there are still a lot of organizations with their pants down. How pathetic is that?

"Or paid to have their house wired using the special cable?"

I really, really, really would like to find out how one starts such a contracting business.
I would be *delighted* to rewire your house with "cost is no object" cables. My service invoice will be comparable.

Comment Seriously reporters, just give up on foreign words (Score 2) 163

Actually from the OP and not just a stupid editor: "Cykelslangen (pronounced soo-cool-klag-en) " (fault of Wired.com)

Cykels Langen - there is precisely zero chance that's pronounced soo-cool-klag-en.

More likely, with a usually wierd euro-pronounciation of the "y" it's soocles-langen.

I'm American, and I'm honestly not sure why Americans are SO BAD at pronouncing foreign words. Do we just see an unfamiliar collection of letters and what, just give up?
