Not until they pry it from my cold, dead, stubby fingered hands....
“The Internet Is Nearly Out of IP Addresses”
Then it’s time to start up an alternative internet.
How about the “Alternet”? :)
At least I can say with assurance that I invented it!
An IP czar.
“Hard to believe there’s only 9,999 devices connected to the internet out there”
Well that “Internet Thing” is the next big thing don’t you know...
“Hard to believe there’s only 9,999 devices connected to the internet out there.”
You can’t expect Fox to publish a technically accurate article, can you?
It’s 4 bytes, not digits, yielding 2**32 addresses which is 4294967296, and still not enough!
Algore screws up again!
Its always the developers that screw things up.
Throw in a nat or two and you got plenty
Yeah, I have been hearing this story for a while. Even back in the mid 90s there was an evangelist from Belfast Ireland that visited the church I was at, and he mentioned back then the idea of SMART Cards where everything would be on a microchip imbedded in the card and once that system was mainstream the next natural progression would be to implant the chip in the hand or forehead, with the sales pitch being, it will eliminate robberies, and you can never lose your SMART Card if it is embedded in your body somewhere.
OK class - this is Journalism 101. Today we’re going to cover the Internet protocol.
Whey do we call IPV4 “IPV4”?
Tommy?
Because the addresses have 4 digits?
That’s very good Tommy.
OK let’s see if we can call on someone else. Susie, now can you tell me why we call IPV6 “IPV6”?
Because the addresses have 6 digits?
That’s very good Susie. You guys are going to make GREAT journalists!
Class dismissed.

IPV4 addresses are 32 bit, allowing only 4,294,967,296 IP’s.
However, IPV6 is 128 bit and will allow approximately 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 IP addresses.
Of which about 317,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 IP addresses will be devoted to Internet porn.
