cfa22 writes "Nice piece in the NY Times today on ultra-fast trading on the NYSE and other markets. The 'algos' that make autonomous trading decisions have to be fast, but I wonder: Is network speed ever a bottleneck? Can anyone with inside experience with millisecond trading provide some details for the curious among us regarding hardware architectures and networking used for such trading systems?"

If all you're missing on their TiVo's is the "skip forward 30 seconds" functionality - just hit Select - Play - Select - 3 - 0 - Select on the remote while you're watching a recorded show, you'll hear three "ding" sounds, and the "Skip forward" button (under the FastForward button) will now skip ahead 30 sec. http://www.g4tv.com/techtvvault/features/29762/Sec ret_TiVo_Codes_pg2.html>
