He asks me, in this robotic voice, "Jim, what is T-C-P-DASH-I-P?"

I surprised you didn't just burst into laughter. How exactly did you control yourself?

TBH i've been in web development/IT for almost 10 years and I have no idea what TCP stands for without googling it...

Yeah, but you know what TCP/IP is, regardless if you remember the specific words that expand the acronym. I'm not in tech at all and I know what TCP/IP is as a concept.

Waaaaaaay off-topic but this:

We are rolling out IPV6 here,

is impressive. (to me) Good luck, I hope it goes well.

So does that mean you have to go back and change IPv4 stuff, or is it only forward looking?

“This lawn supervisor was out on a sprinkler maintenance job and he started working on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7″ gangly wrench. Just then, this little apprentice leaned over and said, “You can’t work on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7″ wrench.” Well this infuriated the supervisor, so he went and got Volume 14 of the Kinsley manual, and he reads to him and says, “The Langstrom 7″ wrench can be used with the Findlay sprocket.” Just then, the little apprentice leaned over and said, “It says sprocket not socket!”

Well, which was it?!

"Radaring" is [expletive] pissing me off. I am so sick of hearing -"We better get out ahead of this befor it start's radaring." [expletive] that. Just tell me to come up with an excuse to cover your ass.

I don't like the steak they serve at corporate events. Always well done. Blah.

It's a can of worms is what it is. I work on software that monitors our network for things like viruses on your machine, services running that we don't want you running, etc.. Whatever you connect to our network - tablet, phone, whatever ... we see it and scan it and if we don't like it we can take it off the network. I can just see it now ... some guy trips and falls down the stairwell to his death because of some bug in our software that turned off a bank of IPV6 lightbulbs. Yes lightbulbs will be on the web ... along with a whole bunch of other stuff. And if you implement SLAAC - which I don't think we will entirely - you can't even gather the information you need to know who is or isn't on your network.

Not sure what you mean jack ... I'm not sure how we are deploying it (that's networking, we just write the software to control it), but you can have IPv4 and v6 mixed together.

[JackofDiamonds]

Without looking this up, all I can tell you is that someone explained it to me that IPv6 was going to replace IPv4 (for the need of more addresses, etc.) and that the two systems were not interoperable.
