I've been using IPv6 at home for a couple of years now with no ill effects, initially with a Hurricane Electric v6 tunnel and then native v6 from A&A.
I don't see the problem, I really don't, and I've rolled out v6 in a commercial scenario and then changed ISP with very little hassle. As Mr. Berger above says, judicious use of link- or site-local addressing sidesteps the majority of the problems.
In a domestic situation, do you care if your IP address changes? No. uPNP, rendezvous, DLNA etc take care of most firewall / "finding things" issues and so once again it becomes a non-issue.
Obviously just my experiences, but with very little effort v6 has been deployed both domestically and commercially with essentially zero fallout on networks I deal with.
Similar things happened with a bunch of Cisco phones I bought from eBay - CUCM details, call logs etc. all still present. It's amazing how people just discard this stuff without thinking.
The reason for the "pillarbox" effect you see is that Microsoft's WMV-HD when at 1080i is actually using a 1440x1080 frame size with anamorphic pixels (the same way 1080i HDV works).
It's a pain, but you'd have thought that it would be able to scale and ratio correct for such a standard...

Unbelievable as Apple are talking to El Reg!
When has that ever happened?
Non-issue

And I don't use Cisco or Juniper kit anywhere...

Dead pixel?
I have a digital camera that produces photos just like that :-)
It's just a Citroen DS
Albeit with a few more wheels...
Electro-optical camera system?
That's a digital camera, then...
+1 for Kickass Kestrel
No real comment, just as title :-D
Schmidt triggers...
I take my hat off to you, sir - that clever-yet-groanworthy pun nearly passed me by!
