Logic Of Investing - Winning Version
De BISAWiki
The more you depend on these, the better your returns will ultimately be. So, I also mean enjoyably and richly working when I say or write the word "play" also. When you lose though, do not lose your investment principal, that is crossing into the world of gambling when you invest the last of that desperately.
So, to sum up, gambling is not investing, investing is wealth creation, gambling is losing even if you get temporary gains without knowledge. Growth may seem slower investing, but growth is certain with investing. If you really want to win, depend on the certain and what you do understand and work to understand what you do not to make it certain. Certainty is action upon what you understand or come to understand through good investment, nothing else.
What's all the fuss about?
IP version 6 is getting a lot of press as of late and possibly for good reason. The Internet has, to all intents and purposes, run out of public IP version 4 addresses. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), who is responsible for global address space allocation issued their last block of IP version 4 addresses in early 2011. IANA allocates address space to the five regional Internet registries or RIRs who in turn are responsible for allocating these addresses to requestors, essentially ISPs, in their region. "Projections of Internet growth suggest that there will be 900 million servers among a total of 2.5 billion total devices on the Internet by 2006 - the latter number including about a billion and a half Internet-enabled mobile telephones. By 2010, half the world's population may be able to access the Internet, if present rates of growth continue unabated. By that time, some estimates of connected devices of all kinds reach 35 billion (nearly 6 devices per person on the planet!). That this may not be completely insane is illustrated by the fact that in 2000, a person with a laptop, personal digital assistant and a cell phone may already have three devices on the Internet. When one starts adding household and office appliances (e.g., facsimile machines, printers, refrigerators, televisions and video cassette recorders), it is not hard to see how the numbers might add up. Of course, the averages will be skewed to much higher numbers in the most networked parts of the world (North America, Europe, Australia, Japan, parts of India and the Pacific Rim) and smaller numbers in the less networked parts"
While the prediction of 35 billion connected devices may sound a bit aggressive, clearly Vint Cerf was not far off given the fact that we have essentially run out of IPv4 addresses a little more than two years later than he predicted.
Some very large numbers
Compared to the somewhat paltry 4.3 billion (or 4,294,967,296 to be exact) addresses offered by IPv4, IPv6 aims to go completely off the chart and ensure the allocation problem never exists again. It's difficult to effectively represent the massive scale of addresses available with the IPv6 addressing structure. IPv6 uses a 128 bit address length compared to the 32 bit length of IPv4 and this makes a huge difference. The 128 bit length means that there are 2128 IPv6 addresses available. This produces a mind boggling 39 digit number that, when written out, looks like this:
