That word "naturally" is doing an *awful* lot of work there.
How would you have made a 128-bit address more human-readable? Does it really matter?I have found it difficult to talk hex with people from other countries. Try to say FACEB00C to someone who does not speak your langage. Foxtrox Alpha Charlie Echo Bravo Zero Zero Charlie does not go through either. 250.206.176.192 works all the time. Everyone gets the numbers.
That word "Everyone" is doing an *awful* lot of work there. All this hand-waving is creating quite a breeze. Think I'll put on a sweater. - Matt
