[b]The seemingly boundless Internet is running out of a key resource: new IP addresses.
IP addresses, which are somewhat like telephone numbers, allow machines in homes and offices to locate and communicate with one another over the global network. The evaporating supply of new addresses

We're gonna worry about this now? I'm fairly certain we've known about this issue for umm...six years now. Must be a slow news day.

The new IP technology allows for somewhere in the neighborhood of 50,000 IP addresses for each person on the planet. And pretty soon Vista will be the only OS supported by MS. Just one more way the technology people are forcing people to upgrade. :roll:

Linux is the answer! Now if we could find a solution to the slow broadband and high prices!
