Oops my bad...i should have RTFA...i saw the pic and thought they'd be reflecting light....this idea probably wouldn't work....wow

That equation is assuming PV cells are being used in the orbital station...if you RTA, they appear to want to collect light, and direct it towards earth to a ground-based generator that will convert the light into electricity.

The technicality I was speaking of was the anonymous 911 tip allowing the stop in the first place, regardless of the fact that the police witnessed no suspicion themselves when tailing him for 5 minutes.

Actually sounds Scalia was the dissenting opinion, period. I tend to agree with the quoted point of view of Scalia...an anonymous 911 call prompts police to target this driver, the driver gives NO indication of dui/reckless/endangering driving, yet the cops STILL pull the guy over, and win in court because of a "technicality". Scalia is right, we are all at risk for abuse of power by cops (not only that, but the justice system ruling in favor of the loss of our freedoms that are OWED to us by the Constitution).

I would also think that Microsoft could come out with a fix to the software that would store that key that's accessible/decrypted by the PC Admin's/User's password via a utility (but not writable by other programs) in order to "recover" files where the key has been lost/'stolen'/etc. This would only work of course IF the hackers were using the local copy of the encryption DLL and not a downloaded/hacked copy (if it would even work that way).

Wouldn't it just make more sense that the trades be kept secret, using encryption until the transaction is completed? Transactions like this should prevent someone else stepping into front of line. Because this is basically what's happening, is that these machines are taking advantage of a security flaw that allows them to see a transaction before it's complete, It would be similar to going to a grocery store where you're ready to pay and someone behind you hands the cash to the cashier before you can get your money out and takes your stuff. That kind of behavior certainly wouldn't be tolerated at a grocery store (they'd definitely get punched in the face!), and shouldn't be tolerated on the stock market. The delay really wouldn't work....it would only take 5 seconds longer for you to find out you've been had, which means they're now stealing your time too. Any moderately useful encryption where public/private keys are used, like PGP, for any transaction prior to being completed would fix this.
