As someone who is responsible for protecting networks for large data centers the biggest issue I see with adopting IPv6 is the overhead required. I took a job with another company this last year and while I thought the asset tracking was bad my previous company, I found it can get much worse. I have clients whom we host servers for that I have no clear method of determining what their IP space is.

System Admins routines make mistakes with complicated host names and trying to acquire an accurate inventory is an absolute nightmare. This ties into IPv6 because why would anyone take that disfunctional system, which barely works with 'easy' IPv4 addresses, and make it even more complex? We would have to support both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously and firewall rules would get much more complex initially and they are already a huge issue for me to get changes made.

At my old job this was similar. Even though it was in the financial industry and that particular company was rolling in profits it couldn't keep enough network engineers around to save it's life. The turnover was high, documentation was horrible and projects to make things better languished on in the ether.

No no no, forget the whole IPv6 thing, just run IPv4 for all things internal and gratuitously support IPv6 outside if you really have to. I jest of course, but that is the reality of my corporate life in the last 6 years in two fortune 500 companies.

This is why I don't trust public wifi, anywhere. I use my phone as a hot spot everywhere I go unless there's no other option. And I still don't trust my phone that much either so I don't do any online banking unless I VPN back to my house first.

Are you suggesting that nobody (companies or individuals) in the US or five eyes countries should run TOR nodes since the government can slap them with a court order?

Someone tell Apple that they can purchase a lot of privacy street cred if they hosted or funded a major TOR hosting initiative.

In my experience HP laptops have the poorest cooling solutions possible. I made the mistake of buying two and I wouldn't use another one as my daily driver if it were free.

I find this hard to believe because Islam often takes issue with Christianity due to the concept of the Trinity being equated to polytheism.

The biggest issue I take with the article is a classic chicken and egg problem. The article takes the stance that your depression is there because of your life choices and some factors that aren't in your control. I'm of the very strong opinion that the exact opposite is true.

I hate parallel's business model. I bought Parallels version 10 in a box with a free upgrade to 11. It sat in the box for about a month after I got it and to my horror I found out the offer expired literally 1 day before I tried to redeem it. I contacted their support but they flatly refused to give me the free upgrade. I bought Fusion and I'll never give Parallel's another dime, this I vow.

Pretty much my experience too. My dad worked at one job for nearly 25 years of his life and I learned a couple years ago that I already make over twice what he did by the time he retired.

My dad was a little like Al Bundy though, he never really sought to improve himself like I do constantly and I'm sure almost everyone here does too.

I think the industry still has a lot of managers who think in terms of running a shoe store with employees that are improving themselves at a rapid pace.

We just need to update our terminology. I recommend "Main Squeeze" for the updated nomenclature to be used in all forms of culture, from newspapers to school essays.

I wonder if it couldn't still be accomplished at this late hour. An RFC to reserve 32 bits of an IPv6 Address along with a logical (read: Easy to remember) remaining 96 bits might be in order.
