The end of the article was funny. The part where it suggested that Y2K wasn't real.

Y2K was very real. The reason why nothing happened is because all organizations with crucial, vulnerable computer systems spent billions of dollars to resolve the issue. The same thing will happen with IPv6.

You know your supposed to have something other than just a link in the op.

I've heard of this before and now I'm actually curious. Is it a site policy or do users just demand it? Because if all the content is copied, no one will visit the link and the original site will not get ad revenue due to no visits. I think I might just turn on Adblock if it's the official site policy here.

Anyway, somehow I have a feeling this won't be a problem. All these big problems tend to get fixed, well, because they're big.

I don't know how to explain it...

That's the face I imagine people make when strangling puppies.

This is rather different from the Y2K problem, since it can't cause any system failures.

What it may cause is for IP addresses to become very expensive, which is a problem that can be easily dealt with by the market. It will surely cause pain to some people and companies for a while, but not any catastrophic failures.

There are companies and other institutions out there which own more than 16 million IP addresses (i.e. a range of X.0.0.0 to X.255.255.255):

I'm sure they'll be happy to sell parts of their ranges if IP addresses become expensive enough...
