If you really want that, NYSE is not yet ready. RTFA. But if you invest in Europe, on an Euronext market (Paris, Brussells, Amsterdam, Lisbon), orders are already matching on Linux.
I mean, who has ever heard of the stock market crashing?
Me. Markets are more often down (for a few seconds or minutes) than you are thinking. But, as xzvf wrote, that is not much a problem if all traders are impacted than if only some are. And of course, recovery must be really fast.
The main european stock exchanges, managed by Euronext, were migrated to Linux/DB2 on April 10th. Euronext warrants market is in production on the same platform since July 2006.
In France we have a law since 1978 that regulates storage and access to data linked to a person name. Requiring a company to delete all your data is defined in this law. The Commission Informatique et Libertés is a administrative authority that was created by this law and whose mission is to ensure that data privacy law is applied to the collection, storage, and use of personal data.
Avantages of the Micromata solution: - It does not require JavaScript. It just requires a mouse and the browser feature used (input type=image) is available in every graphical web browser since more than 8 years ago. - It is quite resistant to HTTP spying, as spying HTTP POST request is not enough to replay
The subject of the ICFP 2006 Programming Contest was about exploring a dead system of an old civilization. The challenge is still available. Try it! It was really fun.
I've seen some posts on Neuros forums about the (bad) state of the development environment. It would probably be easier to hack your products if it was based on a platform that has package management. I'm thinking in particular to OpenEmbedded.
I see more potential in P2P networks for warning users for vulcanos or tsunamis than in detecting an earthquake. Exploring hard drive sensors may be interesting but not very reliable. However, a P2P network, combined with geotagging, may be a good way to target computer users of an imminent event. At least, it could be an additional media to disseminate the information and complementary to TV and radios.

Re-implementing is not a synonym of porting.
Porting is adapting the original code to a new environment. So it requires the right to modify the original code and to link it to the new environment. This would be allowed if the original code is distributed under the GPL license (as most Linux code) and the new environment is free as defined by the GPL (BSD license is). However the resulting set would be covered by the GPL. Any BSD projects would not accept a such change. So to port some code from Linux to BSD the code must be available with a BSD license.

The fork was a good decision as Theo seems to be a good leader for OpenBSD, while NetBSD has none. And Theo also also has more strict principles than Linus, in particular in the definition of "free". (See the kerneltrap interview).
Microsoft has also insisted it will help non-IE browsers work with Windows Live
Firefox is more standards compliant that IE, which means that pages that are geared towards IE cannot run properly in Firefox. So, what is Microsoft trying to do here?
In fact, Microsoft will publish a list of IE quirks so that other browser can implement them. Someone should tell them that if they want Windows Live to work, they have to adapt Windows Live, not the other way.

Euronext, the leading european market, was also using HP NonStop, but they have migrated their NSC engine to Linux. It is already in production.

Because a slow machine is worse than a machine down when you have a good failover system. Especially on stock markets.
When software is migrated from COBOL to C, you gain speed.
Do I need to say more about what you loose?

Yes. But he had already announced it on sunday at FOSDEM.

...unless you use:
let use_xhtml=1
let html_use_css=1
There is also a menu: Syntax >> Convert to HTML.
But I would not call it clean HTML code as it uses FONT tags.

It is not even possible due to license constraints, except of course if the author of the Linux code releases it also under the BSD license.
I'm in France and I work about 40 hours a week, but I have more than 7 weeks of holidays, not counting holidays such as Christmas or Labor day.

Have a look to this blog post dated 2005-08-08: it tells about ICFP, codex and Slashdot.
The WebArchive does have a recent archive of the site to check is this is was recently created.
This indicate there may be a relation with the Codex book reviewed last year on Slashdot by the post author himself. The alternate reality game is just starting...
