Major Sites To Join ‘World IPv6 Day’ 247

netbuzz writes "Facebook, Google, and Yahoo are among the major sites on board with what the Internet Society is dubbing 'World IPv6 Day,' a collective trial scheduled for June 8. 'It's an exciting opportunity to take IPv6 for a test flight and try it on for a full 24 hours,' says Leslie Daigle, the Internet Society's Chief Internet Technology Officer. 'Hopefully, we will see positive results from this trial so we will see more IPv6 sooner rather than later.'"

    That's because the average slashdot user isn't savvy enough for this, whereas your average facebook user is... i mean, these people run their own FARMS, for chrissakes!

    ... it's because IPv6 uses UTF-8 encoded addresses.

    So you're admitting there are not enough addresses for every cell in every person's body. Didn't anybody think about the future?

    While you're locking down your home network with the rock solid security system that is NAT, I'd like to offer you a chance to put the same level of security on your home. For a limited time only, I'm offering, direct to the consumer, the latest and greatest in home security, a little invention I like to call "curtains". Yes, now people won't be able to see into your home anymore, which obviously makes it impossible for them to rob you. Act fast though, these babies will sell out quickly.

    That's like taking all the money from your bank account and throwing it on the ground across the globe. People looking for money aren't possibly going to be able to search across 200 million square miles to find all your money, so it's perfectly safe, right?

    Your collateralised debt obligation investment scheme intrigues me and I would like to contribute to your hedge fund.
