Y2K thing.

Problems that we knew about but were too expensive to fix until almost too late.

I just hope that this one doesn't lead to a run on bread and milk.


Fighting for conservatism one day at a time.

And so are most other people's. The IPv4 addresses are running out but believe me:

NOBODY is going to let the Internet stop growing because they run out of address space. They're just going to grumble about who pays for the switchover. But the Internet is MUCH TOO BIG of a moneymaker now -- particularly for advertisers -- for anyone to let it run out of "room." Mostly it's a matter of network backbone infrastructure that needs to be upgraded. Buy Cisco.

The game industry alone will make it happen.
