Yea, like in like hundreds of years probably but then we probably will have new devices that can store more data and transfer faster than we can imagine.

We're sorry but the internet is full right now. Please try again later.
But for just 50 cents Verizon can let you know when the internet is available.
:p

how is this stupid?
this is a very serious problem.. cnn just makes it sound dumb because of all their analogies and laymen's terms... we ARE running out of ip's.. this is not a bandwidth problem if that's what you're thinking

we are running out of IP addressess because of ARIN giving out class b's and C's like candy on halloween back in the old days. now the damage has been done and no candy is left. If ARIN was more conservatives in assigning ip's, we would have a lot more class c's and b's availible. period.
ipv6 should provide us with limitless ips, but at the expense of millions of man hours converting routers, switches, internetworking equipment in general to it.
