No Barry, I respectfully disagree. It's almost 2012. The first predictions of IPv4 exhaustion were made *last century*. We've been predicting it to the month level for like 5 years now. Any business that is making business plans and models that doesn't take "we may not get IPv4 space" into account and have a contingency plan for that *deserves* to be soundly mocked and ridiculed in public.
mocking someone who shows up when the party is already over is not overly kind or useful. making clear to the world that the part is over is more useful. i could not decide between a number of very appropriate floyd songs, but i think 'time' says it well Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say randy
