At one of our dinners, Milton recalled traveling to an Asian country in the 1960s and visiting a worksite where a new canal was being built. He was shocked to see that, instead of modern tractors and earth movers, the workers had shovels. He asked why there were so few machines. The government bureaucrat explained: “You don’t understand. This is a jobs program.” To which Milton replied: “Oh, I thought you were trying to build a canal. If it’s jobs you want, then you should give these workers spoons, not shovels.”

Comment faster connection and automated transactions (Score 1) 740

I don't see a probem here I figured someone had a faster internet connection and with that their automated transcation systems just did the job they were to do. The following article even mentions the need for speed: "Those cables could reduce the Internet's latency by about 60 milliseconds between those two points That's an imperceptible lag for the average Internet user, but it's an eternity for high-speed stock traders. They can make or lose millions of dollars in that span of time" So nothing got stolen just someone was faster as far as I would think. http://money.cnn.com/2012/03/30/technology/internet-cable/index.htm
