Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>Now there finally are some numbers, and they show that the city [New Orleans] is 29 percent smaller than a decade ago.<\/p>\n

The Republican response to Katrina was calculated to make New Orleans more conservative by making the population smaller, richer and whiter.  Their scheme worked.<\/font><\/p>\n

From The Age<\/a>: <\/font>YEMEN’S veteran President Ali Abdullah Saleh has promised not to seek re-election in 2013, becoming the latest Arab dictator to offer concessions before protests spread out of control.<\/p>\n

The Revolution is growing legs in areas where governments have allowed their populations to be economically exploited.<\/font><\/p>\n

From BBC<\/a>: <\/font>The last five blocks of the IP Version 4 addresses have been handed over to the regional bodies that distribute them.<\/p>\n

Those five blocks, called \/8s and which contain 16 million addresses each, are expected to be completely depleted by September 2011.<\/p>\n

The move to the new addressing scheme, IP version 6, is under way but could take years to complete.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses should be working seamlessly on most networks this year.<\/font><\/p>\n
