"The U.S. military is developing its next generation bomber with Chinese anti-access strategy"

That can only be achieved if there's ZERO electronic components made in China in the aircraft....Good luck with that.

What's the point of hacking NASA if you're not going to download their superTopSekreT UFO pictures? Anybody can modify an FTP login screenshot, but clear pictures of UFOs close up, now that's the money shot!

You are discounting the potential fact that Hitler WAS the time traveler and did so to claim mega-power & rule the world! ;-)

Lesson learned: Correlation does not equal causation.

Where's the "You are Here" arrow? I 'm totally lost.

"It also runs about 75 per cent of the world's business applications"

Gee, I didn't know Windows Apps were coded in COBOL.

Come on, 75% is a HIGHLY dubious claim. Where's the source / proof / evidence? Where I work, we have nearly 200 business apps and I'm pretty sure less than 2% of business apps were made in COBOL - possibly even 0%.

10. Who the fcsk wants to ping 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 on a daily basis ?!?
9. As *some* organizations migrate to IPv6, their IPv4 addresses will be released for use by other organizations!
8. IPv6 is a waste of bandwidth with its huge headers. PPS (packets per second) router ratings go way down - so you shorten your network hardware life-cycle + pay much more bandwidth while payload throughput is the same is less - this is very wasteful.
7. Re-training your entire IT staff on IPv6 is going to be a huge pain in the *** and will drive costs up, not only in training but the extra downtime caused in the first couple of years due to human error.
6. Initially you'll likely have to increase your IT budget just to purchase IPv4 to IPv6 gateways, as few large organizations are going to attempt a big-bang flip.
5. The probability of errors in troubleshooting & configuration increases 4 fold as the addresses are 4 times as long, nevermind they are Hex to boot.
4. 95% of the features of IPv6 can and area already being done in IPv4 years ago.
3. There's tonnes of free $$ to be made in renting out IPv4 space in Asia. Just ask the Telcos!
2. Organizations running critical propriatary software (i.e. not off the shelf) (i.e. banks, hospitals, military, etc) are going to have to spend BILLIONS in software re-writes, QA & testing... for what visible gains. Where's the IPv6 ROI case ?!??
1. And lastly, don;t forget KISS and If it ain't broke... DONT FIX IT!

Wake me up when * I * run out of IPv4 addresses.

Have your managers watch "The Future of Food" (google it), and how thousands of North American farms are forced to grow genetically modified Soy crops instead of natural and varied food/plant species and they may realize that while it's greener, it's not necessarily the most moral or genetically diverse thing to be doing.

Have google turn off the search engine to the UK for 1 business day and then let's see if they still want to tax google.

I'll start voting when governments stop getting in the way.

The timing is priceless!I can only see this as a heads I win, tails I win for the Pirate Bay....

1) If they win, they win.
2) If they lose and have to pay $150,000 in 2 years or god forbid $14.3 Million USD, it's ok, in 2 years the USD will be as worthless as Zimbabwae dollars, so really $14.3 Million USD will be less than pocket change.

GO PIRATE BAY!
