there was already a proposed thing called ipv4+, and it’s completely insane. if you know anything about network infrastructure the entire chain is hilarious.
weeeeell, ish. the big thing with the alto and the star was that the entire system was a live image that could be edited as it ran, and where every object was homogeneous enough to be put into any part of the system.
no, see the important part is to get xerox to be a major player in the graphical minicomputer industry while it was still important, so that the world of guis would all be based on their paradigm with instant editability and deep interconnection.
it definitely would not.
yeah the frames are different but that doesn’t matter to 99.9% of people.
oh god, the nightmare that “adding a fifth number” would be
ipv4 is a 32-bit number, which means the total number of possible addresses are 232 = 4 294 967 296, which is waaaaay less than the amount of computers we have today. ipv6 is a 128-bit number, so the total is 2128 = 340 282 366 920 938 463 463 374 607 431 768 211 456, which is more than all the grains of sand on earth.
the only thing i’ve heard people don’t like about ipv6 is that the addresses are longer and have letters in them.

those guys have truly mastered the art of fusion cuisine. one place i used to frequent served a döner kebab four-cheese pan pizza with french fries on top.
then there’s of course the infamous Calskrove.
this guy has never been in a genuine swedish pizzeria run by a hardworking guy from the Levant. that’s true pizza.
