Oh my Google!

They will introduce letters into IP address' or something.

Seems logical to me.


Or allow more numbers per IP address.

IPV6 ftw...?

Well, im screwed, if this IPV6 thing comes into play, and without it internet wont work, my parents are too worryed that i will break something if i touch it, so i wont be able to get this IPV thingy, so i wont have internet.

Damn, i will have to get a social life again.

Google IPV6, then scream "oh noes the sky is falling!11!!!!"

I did. Wikipedia entry is too long. And my google is in gaelic, which i dont remember most of.

But i dont have school on tuesday, im sure i will have enough time there.

Edit:

If you tell me this is just a software/drivers update, i am going to feel quite stupid.

Is it a software or drivers update?

Quote from BBC :

...340 trillion trillion trillion separate addresses...

Wow. Dosen't seem like that would run out in any of our lifetimes. (IPV6 projected address pool)
