The London Stock Exchange Goes Down For Whole Day
Colin Smith writes "TradElect, the Microsoft .Net based trading platform for the London Stock Exchange, was offline for about seven hours, meaning that their 5-nines SLAs are shot for approximately the next 100 years. The TradElect system was launched back in June of 2007 and was designed for increased speed and system capacity."

Oh, she does... just not with you.
Damn. Talk about humorless mods. I at least got a chuckle out of that.

I think you need to brush up on your history.
Lets see.. if by "that day" you mean "Black Wednesday" the US did not bail the UK out, the UK simply dropped out the ERM.
It's so easy to bash Bush as you put it, because it's all he is worthy of. He has been, without a doubt your worst president ever, should we stand by and be silent whilst his crony Military Industrial Complex buddies suck the blood out of your economy by War and Legislation means. Check the balance of payments in your economy before Bush and today, Check how the US is rated for human rights, and how you appear as a nation to other nations.
No one came to "aide" the Georgians because they attacked South Ossetia (probably as a diversionary tactic so that Israel and the US can attack Iran). Trial Baloon as it were, consolidate world opinion against Russia beforehand. There are 4000 Israeli military advisors in Georgia, ever wondered why?
A very dark "winder" will fall? The Russians are back? did they ever leave? (why is it always "Us" and "Them") If you aren't with us you are against us.
Socialism for America? is that really such a bad thing? America is the only wealthy western country without a national healthcare system, your private healthcare system denies basic healthcare to people without health insurance (and even some with health insurance in order to prop up the profits of private companies). Your GINI rating of 47 rates with the likes of Mozambique and Mexico. It makes me laugh how Socialism is considered a dirty word in the US.
I know I am wasting my keystrokes, You can't turn a brainwashed republican that has probably never even travelled outside the US extensively.
Oh and please stop selling us Windows, especially for running stockmarkets. Linux is far more stable, but maybe Linux is too "socialist" for you having been created by such communists.
I don't get it, but lucky for me he doesn't either
Well, if she runs Linux, i doubt she runs TradElect...
Oh, she does... just not with you.
nudge nudge, wink wink.
Your wife -- does she go?
More importantly, does she run?
More specifically, does she run Linux?
More relevantly, does she run TradElect?
No, she goes down on it.
Aaaaand we've come full circle. Well, at least she has. The OP is still going it alone.
Is your wife into photography, eh?
Snap snap, grin grin, wink wink.....say no MORE!!
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
Technically, it went down on her....
-A
In Soviet Russia?
Me lost me cookie at the disco.
Your wife -- does she go?
No, she comes.
But does she blend?
