Article: IPv6-only hosting far off; a market for IPv4 addresses is sad, but likely
June 06 2011 - ElasticHosts Cloud Server Hosting blog

As has been predicted for years, the world is running out of IPv4 addresses. So what happens now? Well, there are several possibilities, but our prediction is that a brand new market will spring up in second-hand IPv4 addresses. Like the Wild West, it’s going to be lawless and unpredictable for a bit — and sadly the profits will go to the current IPv4 address hogs.

Introductory Java for Scientists and Engineers
By Richard Davies
February 26 2000

Java is currently enjoying immense success and is taught in hundreds of universities around the world. It is a modern, portable, object-oriented language and before long, it could also be the language of choice for many science and engineering students. Introductory Java for Scientists and Engineers provides an extremely accessible and thorough introduction to Java for science and engineering students. It takes the reader gradually through the language features, standard libraries and object orientation before moving on to discuss a scientific graphics library and a numerical library for Java. All the examples perform the kind of computations that will be of interest to a scientific programmer.
