You need to spend more time at the Gist mill.  Much more powerful and 
flexable than IPv4.  It does mean one thing however.  With IPv6 a given 
address is going  to mean a given device.  Abet a networking device, be 
that built in or add on.  The use of MAC addresses in the IP address 
does nail it down to one device, period.  That will have good points and 
bad points.

Politically I have given up on being an anything-arian. I am for accountability and nothing else. Hold the government, in specific the office holders, elected or appointed, accountable for all actions taken in office. Authority must be granted grudgingly and reluctantly. When it is abused it must be snatched away at once. Be it a minimum wage screener at the TSA or the President of the United States.
