== Teredo IPv6 Tunneling == |
|||
The [[Teredo tunneling]] technology (tunneling IPv6 connectivity over IPv4 using UDP datagrams) was named after the Shipworm but its creator changed its name to Teredo (the latin) to avoid confusion with computer worms (malware). Should this be mentioned in this article? |

It would be great to get an image of some really eaten up driftwood for this page. --- BAxelrod (talk) 02:22, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Columbus?
A cite is needed for the claim that Columbus's ships used copper sheathing. And a cite to the wiki on copper doesn't really cut it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.96.108.47 (talk) 18:24, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- There are a number of websites out there saying that Columbus's fleet had copper sheathing, i.e. [7], [8], and [9]. But there are also sites that say that the first copper sheathed ship was the frigate Alarm in 1761 (see here [10] and here [11]). I am a bit doubtful of the Columbus story; why would it take the Royal Navy 269 years to follow Columbus's example? But the evidence is conflicting, so we need some better documents that cite to primary sources. Pirate Dan (talk) 21:30, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
