If you don't want your light bulbs on the same network as PC and printer then you should be screaming for IPv6 and "network coloring" (think automatic sub-net), not making a case against IPv6.
And IPv6 is not too complicated - the vast majority of home users will not have to do anything at all if carriers provide properly configured CPE. In some respects it can appear more complicated (SLAAC can appear scary to people), but in others it is less complicated (no NAT).
The rightness or wrongness of software patents aside, this strikes me as wrong, and grounds for an appeal for more damages paid to Centripetal:
"enhanced damages” he decided to lay against the manufacturer had been “mitigated by the professional performance of its trial counsel.”
The trial lawyers are handsomely paid for being professional in the court. Their professionalism or lack thereof should not sway the weighting of damages.
Or, honest question, is that a normal thing ?
