You get the same effect when you unbutton your pants. :rolleyes:

Hopefully, when I enable IPv6, I won't get arrested :~

I pee V6.

Watched code never compiles.

Is that partially digested V8?

That's an interesting bit of news. If you post that in Insider News, you might get $25 for your troubles. :)

So when can I order my own permanent block of 64k addresses? That should be enough to cover every electronic device I'll own for the rest of my life. I'm curious, too, about packet efficiency. Will the default TCP/IP packet stay the same size, and carry less data because of the huge increase in header size? Or will packet sizes grow to accommodate the new overhead?

public class SysAdmin : Employee
{

 public override void DoWork(IWorkItem workItem)
 {
      if (workItem.User.Type == UserType.NoLearn){
         throw new NoIWillNotFixYourComputerException(new Luser(workItem.User));
      }else{
           base.DoWork(workItem);
      }
 }

}

You ought to be, honestly... I'm kinda surprised the CIA hasn't ordered a nationwide block on IPv6, since according to the description in that article, it can be used for direct peer-to-peer network communication - and who uses that sort of thing but shady folks trying to keep their communications hidden, like software pirates and terrorists?

The smallest available blocks in IPv6 are 2^64 addresses. A personal permanent block for everyone is not possible; routers can't have individual routing table entries for every person on earth. Your block of IP addresses has to be within the block allocated to your ISP, you can't keep it when switching ISPs (unless your old ISP forwards the packets -> Mobile IP[^]). The packet size is limited by the MTU of the underlying link layer (1500 bytes for ethernet). The IPv4 header (IP + TCP) is at least 40 bytes (can be more due to the use of optional headers); IPv6 (with TCP) is at least 60 bytes. So yes, IPv6 packets carry slightly less data.
