We were supposed to burn all GIFs for being patent encumbered (LZW compression) over two decades ago... Nothing of value would have been lost.

That GIFs are still around proves we are in the worst technological timeline.

DST is why the extraterrestrials refuse to make contact with our civilization. It presumes no intelligent life.

Agreed... and yet we still have people worrying about git master branches. ðY(TM)

Itâ(TM)s true, vim is terrible. Use the proper unmolested vi.

Tokenization to protect your card from vendors and requires your fingerprint for security vs tap which requires nothing but the card.

Home Depot and Target can't lose the credit card info you never gave them.

That's a very nice step forward.

3½" diskettes were never referred to as a hard disk, like their 5 1/4 counterparts they were referred to as floppies. Named after the internal magnetic medium, not the casing.

Right... But I'm lucky to still have one public IP let alone another. End users can barely get IPs. What few you get have to go through hassles of justification and extra fees. I think I'd rather live in a world where it's common place to just hand people a swath of IPs.

I do believe it's required for VoLTE - which is effectively SIP and IPv6 if I'm not mistaken.

In spite of that... Still no sign of IPv6 over LTE on Rogers - even though my devices support it...

The ones we can't build on our 1980s protocol.

True, but I hope to see a proper multihoming standard. Prefix translation is ugly.

So you're cool with the Internet being forever limited to cat videos? The applications for the Internet were unforeseen. It changed the world in ways nobody could predict. IPv6 will pave the way for new applications in a way just as significant... But you can't see past today's furry thrills.

No my argument would be the equivalent of being against penicillin curing your infection but causing you to lose a leg... We have a better cure witbout the drawback.

Yes, the WEB works GREAT... I also use THE REST OF THE INTERNET.

IPv6 uses HEX: 2A

NAT was a direct response to address constraints. If it wasn't broken CGN would be the way forward.
