Sorry, can I ask what exactly you are talking about? More than 6 years? I guess you are one of those lonely Windows XP tablet edition users?

I used to believe that when I had an XDA... shame write speeds suck.

why the hell is this on slashdot? Seriously - I love apple products but this is ridiculous.

A:) It was inevitable that Apple would bring out a 128GB product
B:) I fully believe Ipads are eating into ultrabooks, surfaces and general notebook sales - but capacity is not why! Convenience is why.

Ultrabooks and notebooks still have their uses and are NOT comparable to Ipads. The only thing people have been questioning is if their usage really requires the limitations (size) of ultrabooks.

The surface and Surface Pro will likely fail on their own merits, just like the XP tablets from before.

Redundant article is redundant.

so I was being kind by calling Iran a 2nd world country ...

Oh well.

and can I ask, why would you say that?

and do you still prescribe pelvic massage for hysteria?

"Since ancient times women considered to be suffering from hysteria would sometimes undergo "pelvic massage" – manual stimulation of the genitals by the doctor until the patient experienced "hysterical paroxysm" (orgasm)."

Definitions, like everything else change over time.

It's a good idea to stay with the times. Actually, maybe you are a maoist?

After the revolution when Iran stopped being Persia they quickly went back to a 2nd world country. Much more of this and even NK might take over tech wise.

Why would they pull Apple down with them? Apple has made quite a healthy profit and its products are selling well..

What about Microsoft?

I think you'll find Apple is currently eating up Microsofts failings where their products match..*e.g excluding business*

But then, everyone is aware we are moving away from trucks.

difference is, America is not a paper tiger.

And no, I'm not American.

ah shit , I claim the AC post in the name of Nossie.

And I guess I can no longer say I've never posted anon on /. balls.

I believe this line from the article pretty much spells it out "so some sort of sharing is inevitable" So they themselves specify that NAT on the network is inevitable. Personally I think it's just an excuse to take another standard service and re-brand it to a premium service.

Either way - bad news!

nope, you are wrong I said '*if* I was a plusnet customer ...'

However, it does appear that you are right in that either the quote was taken out of context or I misinterpreted it....

Actually, no tlambert, .I take that back

"The move is controversial as it could make some Internet services fail, but PlusNet says it is inevitable, and only a test at this stage."

Where does plusnet say it's inevitable some services would fail during the test? They don't!

FTA:
"ISPs will have to operate a “dual stack” approach, supporting both protocols, but this is made difficult by the shortage of IPv4 addresses, so some sort of sharing is inevitable, PlusNet argued."

they should be spending money investing in IPv6 and not IPv4 - period.

Not their customers fault they didn't start this quick enough.

I'm not sure it has been a failure as such, I currently have 10 allocated IPv4 IPs. I don't go down the IPv6 route because there is currently no benefit for me to change. That is not to say my hardware does not support it or that I don't see it as being inevitable. If you give me a IPv6 service - then I'll use it and be on my way.

What does REALLY suck - is companies like plusnet trialing IPv6 and then giving up - much easier to retard current infrastructure than build for the future apparently.
