Witty , trippy and extremely iffy, what the heck else do you want from your AS comedy? If you are a fan of The Mighty Boosh, Jam or Luxury Comedy, chow down MF's Re: IPv6 support on Virgin media I'm (obviously) on IPV4, but 40 miles from me someone with the same kit is on IPV6. IPV4 is offered as an option I would assume thats the model VM will use, as you know, they already are as LG Re: IPv6 support on Virgin media Given that down the road from me VM.ie have a poor implementation of IPV6 and it causes as many issues as it solves (yes I understand thats the implementation), the long game may yet prove to be the best one. The connectivity issue is easily resolved in IPV4 (anyone for DHT?) and we lose the natural resilience of a NAT "firewall". So there are dpownsides if managed badly. As someone who supports users day and daily IPV6 and IOT seem , well..... scary. Especially given the average level of technical knowledge out there. And I do not mean that disparagingly, network security is a complex subject. It becomes MORE complex once NAT is out of the equation. I would also argue that the current state of play , especially the "centralised server" model so many IPV4 applications use is as much about commercial pressures as the protocol. Less "big data" payoff in a decentralised model. Taking games as an example, theres no actual need for central servers in most cases. UDP is happy to match-make with no external input. However what it does take is good netcode and deviation from the "games as a service" model AAA gaming want to foist on the end user.That is a commercial pressure, not a protocol issue. Id love to believe the view that IPV6 will somehow right the wrongs of the current state of play. But I remain unconvinced. At the end of the day thats not an argument to NOT implement it. More of a cautionary "Hey lets not lose the run of ourselves" as we say round here. Whilst a phased move to IPV6 would be a GOOD THING, lets not lose sight of the fact that it throws up as many challenges as opportunities. Re: What are you watching now? Just snagged a Kennedy 24 RDA. Coil Jig and tweezers on the way, ready for my first self build Clapton. Been vaping for 2 years and haven't touched a cigarette since, after 3 unsuccessful quit attempts. Man I wish I discovered it sooner... Re: What are you watching now? Re: What are you watching now?

I thought with the story-line of "the fulcrum" reaching a conclusion more or less it would run out of steam. But Season 3 is every bit as good. There was rumored to be a spin off series with Tom in it, although the possible back story has been set, no sign of as yet. You just know when Red starts an anecdote, bad things will happen....
