No it has nothing to do with that. When you have billions/decades invested in machine tools, instrumentation and infrastructure geared towards a standard it is not exactly easy or cheap to switch. Besides it was a precise enough system to get the US to the moon and back.
The downturn at ebay has more to do with $3+ gas than ebay policy. People just aren't interested in collectibles/crap when they are shelling out $60 a week to fill the family SUV.
fortunately, they're better than SMS on the mainframe (from days of yore). I so hated trying to protect the machines the systems programmers|technical support were responsible for and SMS demanded God privileges in order to do their work...

The fantasy stock sites usually don't account for volume, halts, distributions/dividends and usually have painfully slow execution times. Not to mention you have no vested interest since your money is not on the line.
You don't state your level of trading experience (ie have you ever day traded), so I am going to assume you are a complete newbie. Unfortunately, you are going to be way out of your element and will get slaughtered if your only experience comes from books... and that's if they even let you on a trading floor/pit.
My advice would be to put those grand aspirations on hold and get yourself a trading account from a discount broker (Etrade/TDAmeritrade/Scottrade). Fund the minimum which is usually around 2 grand and start trading. You'll probably wind up losing but the knowledge gained will be worth more than any course or book.

I'm waiting for them to enable the self destruct sequence on Dell laptops... that would be useful.

How about a Ouiji board with binary and a hex responses?
Many innovative corps start out that way, then turn into a bureaucratic dictatorship after a couple disappointing quarters.

I agree! Not since Brontosaurus was renamed to Apatosaurus have I been this upset.

How will this effect my pirate... er my neighbor's pirated unpatched system?
This works in prison as well, though there are some compromises ... er, so I've heard.
