... is dead.

quote from Wikipedia:
IPv6 is supported but the support is not explicitly installed, you must do it yourself, at least on SP2. TBH, 7 is faster on the same hardware (I know, I'm running it on a 2004/5 Dell D600 with 1.5GB of RAM).

I'm predicting a push - and a big one - towards v6 within the next year.

They have to. If google wants it to happen, it will. And the prospect of no more class C networks being available is one that will hopefully scare enough people into action to get on with it.

What does it mean? not much for users of Mac or Win Vista or 7... ISPs will not want to run dual DHCP systems for a while but the pressure finally really starts. The world doesn't have a choice on this, the support is there for a while on the technical side of most kit IIRC.

OTOH, IPv6 is a lot more difficult to remember than v4, so...I might well try running our old webserver on v6 for a while to see if it works; it should do.
I'll also predict that if they want users to move, they'll do it with content no longer being available on the v4 sites. And that cut will be both vicious and sooner than consumers want - sorry, guys, but if you want everything connected, you have to pay a price, and that is upgrading.

(at least, that's the line SRS take...!)

Ein Ausländer, halt

I was assured on the phone that that's "not an issue".

Well, it is a bit of one, because I need it on the 25th and I would have liked to have had some time to play first, but hey, I'm supposed to be a pro

Anyway. For the cashback it's not an issue as the receipt will be dated with the date upon which you placed the order, whether it is fulfilled on that date or not.

Hmm. If I get asked to take pictures at a company gathering, does that make me a professional 'tog?

going to leave the k10 in a corner somewhere on a tripod attached to a laptop and running an intervalometer. Should be able to leave it for setup and breakdown, too

The k5 is coming for pic duties and teh 7D for video. Time to go order some parts, methinks...

Bret

... ha, SRS will not have stock in until early next week.....

The phrase "jo, jo" is forbidden in our house, not swearing. I've told my daughter "I don't want to hear that from you" when I've heard her using swearwords in Finnish and in turn, she gets annoyed when she hears me swearing in German. The "jo, jo" is a phrase which translates as "yeah, yeah", i.e "no". The kids who come to our house know it's forbidden and respect that. End of.

I prefer The Now Show's attitude: "Two Ronnies script writers have been drafted in to the Today show, with a grit shoveller..." - cue lots of tongue twisters...

my K10D works fine at -20....

I know. I've been using the LiveView technique with the 7D and it has helped an awful lot as stuff which looked "OK" on that LCD is in reality not as good as it should be.
