I am very, very cynical. Especially about cynicism.

Oh I see. Well, many of our citizens bank in Switzerland or have
corporations in small island nations. None of which are exactly nuclear
powers.

IPv6 has a much larger address space than IPv4:

although:

http://rednectar.net/2012/05/24/just-how-many-ipv6-addresses-are-there-really/

There are approximately 10^80 atoms in the universe [actually hydrogen
atoms worth of matter by current estimates]. Or:

100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

There are 2^128 available IPv6 addresses. Or:

340282366920938463463374607431768211456

So That falls considerably short of every atom in the universe having
its own IP address. We'd need more than:

293873587705571876992184134305561419454666

times more IP addresses to reach that goal.

The Internet Of Things will fill IPv6's address space more quickly than
usage by computers and mobile devices alone would. ISOC seem confident
though:

> ARE THE SPECIALISTS  AVOIDING THAT SUBJECT ABOUT THE LIMITS ????

IPv6's address space is certainly being hyped relative to IPv4 (see
above), but there are critics of this (see above) and I think most
people know the range is finite.

Do you mean tlds? I'd guess the scheme will be the same.

At present, same as the old control.

I would guess that many people on-list don't speak Portuguese. My father
didn't teach me Portuguese, but I do paste interesting-looking documents
into Google Translate.

In this case I agree that Android is only "so called" Open. Replicant
and FDroid address this. With regards to the article, Mozilla (who I
respect greatly) are also based in Mountain View and are producing
another App Store-based OS.

App Stores are, with apologies to the excitable young activist who once
accused me of being basically Hitler for arguing this, not good for user
freedom.

I don't think netbehaviour list submissions require approval ordinarily.
