    I feel you are underestimating the number of subpar programmers and software developers employed throughout the world.

  2. I'm so used to being lied to and "managed" that I have the smell of BS in my nostrils at all times.

  3. Some twisted minds might suggest that this was a well planned computer "halts", and, some groups of people have collected some serious money "trading".
    But then, these are "twisted minds" speculations.

    This was a coordinated attack.
    Finance, media and airlines simultaneously go down at 10:45. Too much of a coincidence.

    which one of the great traders on ET made money on the halt? And how many will be bitching, "It just isn't fair!"?
