Presumably this is meant to be a 'clever' joke from people who actually don't know that much.
Some people deal with raw IP addressing at the backend and don't use DNS, or have to setup and configure DNS for others to benefit from... :rolleyes:

I know fine well how the intermanet thingy works thank you very much, I was merely simulating obtuseness for the humour factor :rolleyes:

Soon there will be a virtual resource war. Facebook will invade MySpace to eliminate it. The Armies of Google shall march on the servers of Yahoo and you don't even want to know what will happen when the legions of WoW appear on Runescape's horizon. There will be virtual blood.

Yeah, it's only off by 12 orders of magnitude :confused:

(That's one trillion times as many atoms in the Earth as there are IPv6 addresses)

lol math fail....
ill go in my hole then? yeah? safe.

On another note, either way both numbers are practically unimaginabe,
How will we fill ipv6 if we cant possibly fit enough devices on earth that could have an ip address.

wouldnt like every item on earth about the size of a grain of sand need a ip?
a grain of sand is 23 million, million, million atoms
I cba for the math.... its 2 am.

I assume class A chinks are the xxx.168.1.1 ones?

Class A networks (0.x.x.x to 127.x.x.x)

Some examples of places hogging the internets..

3 General Electric Company, NJ (NET-GE-INTERNET)
9 IBM Corporation, NY (NET-IBM)
18 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MA (NET-MIT-TEMP)
44 Amateur Radio Digital Communications (NET-AMPRNET)

58 - 126 Is widely used by the public, class B is mainly universities etc, class C is mixed but seems to have a lot of empty space.

I swear there is loads of room, there are just big organisations hogging the space..
 
I think we should have our own personal IP address now. For every single being on this planet. That oughta fill the gap.

It would be a good way of counteracting piracy if everyone had their own block of IPs and were responsible for them. They could just be handed out like telephone numbers.

also a great way of removing all your privacy and opening you and your family up to every crack pot on the planet.

You're selling me short with such titles ;)



Basically I do a bit of work on computers, the most popular being cleaning up systems and making them secure. though I'll generally tackle anything and I've yet to come across a problem I couldn't fix.
