do the bbc ever proof read the stuff they put on their website? "This is intended to provide four billion times four billion times four billion as many as currently exist." in this article, and the introduction text for that article was "A shortage of internet addresses has prompted researchers to come up way of generating billions more." depending on how you do "billions" but, if you currently have 4 billion ip addresses, and you're going to have 64 billion with IPv6, then that's 16 times as many as 4 billion. It's just simple maths, it's not exactly rocket science! And since when has IPv6 been something new! I learnt about it 2 or 3 years ago!

And while we're on the subject, I'm sick of seeing this image:
stupid bbc news website uses this image every time they talk about spam!
They use it EVERY single time they write an article about spam, such as this one, or this one, or this one, or this one, and on, and on, and ariston, etc, etc, ETC!!! (none of these articles are repeats! yet they all have the same chuffin image!!!) admittedly, for a bit of variety, they did use a twisted image of email here and some other previous one's have used other images, but man alive what is with them using the same image ALL THE TIME!!!?!!
