You know, I'm going to have to laugh at mysterlobster's outburst. So, mysterlobster, what do you think of attacks on evolution? I'm guessing your okay with them?
Now, see the problem here...?
-Jiggles-
After all, since he has declared evolution to be a religion, surely it should be above his reproach.
I really don't expect much intelligence from a person who uses the term "Darwinist" seriously.
But he's one of the most intelligent users on the board! He said so himself!
[QUOTE="Murj"]The only relevant thing I heard about this was that by 2012 the internet will die by itself anyway, at least in the UK it will. The wires used to carry the information were originally used for telephones, not the internet. And because the internet keeps expanding, it will eventually collapse on itself by 2012. Fibre Optic broadband is the way to go, because it can hold more bandwidth (or something like that). But in order to provide Fibe Optic for the entire UK would take around 2 years and cost a lot of money. I did read this a fair while ago (a few months) in a newspaper, so maybe it's changed since then.xaos
Haw haw; I've been hearing "doom of the internet imminent!" since circa 1996; we were supposed to run out of IPv4 address space nearly a decade ago, and yet... That's only because of the software measures put in place such as NAT and CIDR. Without these measures, the space would have indeed run out long ago. The problem with the rolling out of IPv6 is that it requires changes to the data link and physical layers of the model. Whereas NAT and CIDR are mostly software changes in the session layer, but these measures are only temporary, never intended to be long term solution. With the introduction of IPv6, CIDR should be eliminated, NAT will be kept because of the security properties and we'll have (I think) 256 seperate IP addresses for every square metre of the earth's surface. That should be enough :P
