Feds Say They're Ready For Monday's IPv6 Deadline 120
netbuzz writes "By all indications and against all odds, it appears as though most, if not all, federal agencies will have met the mandate issued back in 2005 that their network backbones become capable of passing IPv6 packets by June 30, 2008. NetworkWorld quotes Pete Tseronis, chair of the IPv6 working group of the Federal CIO Council, saying, 'I have not heard of anybody who is not going to make the IPv6 deadline.' Those involved are calling this a significant milestone in what has been an extensive effort to bring IPv6 into widespread deployment."

They won't be able to profit at step 6 - they hit an infinite loop at step 5!

Hi. Some of us don't like reading 96-word rambling sentences. Thanks.
Yes, but IPv4 commas and periods are in short supply.

This whole "OMG! We're going to run out of addresses (and ponies)" scare is starting to be more pathetic and fake than Nostradamus predictions!
Century 12, Quatrain 5 says:
Gore, of old, would tell that six is all
on the day the silver tubes stopped passing;
terrible anguish would ensue
as tube of you could not be contacted.
See. We're doomed.
