IPv6 is coming soon

[jrobertson]

if you don't know what IPv6 it's worth spending a few minutes reading up on it at Wikipedia.

It will probably take quite a few years to transition from the current IPv4 to IPv6, however changes are already taking place.

The more people who are aware of this transition the easier it will be for everyone in the long run.

Thanks JR - interesting stuff for a fellow tekky.

The critical element for me is privacy or lack of it. Hope FF developers come up with a privacy /proxy sort of shield when all servers are ipv6.

So I disabled ipv6 in firefox and am about to do a bit of surfing to see if it makes any difference in speed. FF is a resource hungry browser I find - but nonetheless superior to IE. I wonder if there's a disable option for IE too?
