Akselj Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 I just saw it on the news. Apparently, they fear the internet will be full in a couple of days. They're almost out of IP addresses, so experts fear a breakdown when they change to the new system.Watcha think 'bout this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyce Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I think they're morons for not realising we have PORTS as well, every port on an IP could direct to a different server computer.. tadaa, aprox 9999 more servers per IP.On a more serious note, they also predicted every PC to blow up in 2000, I won't believe shit until I see it happening. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 We won't run out of IP addresses till ~2012.We're all ready for the IPv6 switch over now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic Angle Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I doubt this will happen, we have plenty of IP addresses left, besides as Robin pointed out we are ready for the ipv6 switch anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homicidal Monkey Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 now, what is more important is that ip6 was not fully supported until windows vista. So everyone still running xp or 2000, gg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwen Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 @Zetta:> now, what is more important is that ip6 was not fully supported until windows vista. So everyone still running xp or 2000, gg.Cant they just give all ip6 compliant machines new ip's and all the ip4 machines stay on the old system. Im sure they could still route traffic around.

kender the great Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Why can't everyone get a wire shoved up their ass, :( they could call it IPvA. ;]. No need for anymore changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adulese Games Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Oh Will. ;DAnyway, we'll just make the IPv6 change and all will be right with the world. Honestly, I don't know why we didn't think of this when we made the IPv4\. >.>- Adulese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely someone must've thought "we might run out, better slap another two or three dots on there" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 it was probably designed by the same people that said computers wont last… no need to distinguish 00 as 1900 instead of 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akselj Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 They did think, when they made computers, we wouldn't have more than 20 computers. So of course they didn't think we'd have so many people on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
