Title: "Ran out of IP addresses: END OF INTERNET."
Post by: MrMxyzptlk on September 30, 2015, 03:38:05 PM

Well, it happened faster than anyone thought.
The Interwebs have run out of IP addresses.
Nothing new can be connected to the Internet....

Well, okay. Not really! But IPv4 got taken up faster than anyone thought,
so it's VERY good that those that manage the (core) of the Interwebs enabled IPv6 a-ways back, eh?
 (Remember all the testing and checking long ago? Good thing, eh??)
