Is The Internet About To Run Out Of Addresses?

From Fox News 6 The Times

Every computer and online device is assigned a unique Internet Protocol address — Windows users can look up theirs by opening a command-prompt window and typing “ipconfig” — but the pool of unallocated numbers is about to dry up.

“This is like the Internet running out of telephone numbers and with no new numbers, you can’t have more subscribers,” he said.

So if that happens will we be recycling old laptops and PC’s for their IP addresses?

Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll be sponsoring a federal bail out soon. We seem very adept at pulling new numbers out of thin air! or is that ?
