I'm not impressed with the depth of analysis.

If Wall Street algorithms are worthless because Wall Street "just moves money around", I guess Silicon Valley algorithms are worthless too because Silicon Valley "just moves electrons around".

:ugh:

And financial encryption algorithms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_cryptography) are useless because banks only move money around? :8

And financial encryption algorithms are useless because banks only move money around?

This is probably my all time favourite:
Edsger Dijkstra - A parable (http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/ewd594.html)

Not exactly hot off the press, though:)

[jcbmack]

Loved it 24Carrot.

[jcbmack]
