I remember in the 80's using a Casio programmable that was about 5 inches wide and an inch deep, and had a fluorescent display with more digits than normal.
Corners were quite rounded IIRC. Style was similar to the FX-102 but a lot bigger and a lot more keys. What the hell was the model number?
I wish I still had it, it was great.
There will be more showing up. Whatever they feed on is no longer where they expect it to be.

"I don't think an airship's a good option for precision lifting due to its poor stability in even slightly breezy conditions."
Ah, but with an airship, you could tether it to the ground with 3 cables, increase the airship lift to take up the slack, then you pretty much have a giant tripod sitting over the target area. Then you can just alter the length of those cables to "winch down" the load to the exact spot you want it. Highly stable.
"Practitioners of HFT simply cannot tolerate the latency offered by conventional networking kit, as a few milliseconds' delay can be the difference between a profitable trade and an unwelcome loss."
No, HFT isn't about profit and loss, it's only about profit - getting in between pleb traders on slow systems and taking a cut on the way through.

Yay SEC.
1. Big corporation gets caught fiddling.
2. SEC settles out of court for pennies on the dollar.
3. A few years later, the boss of the SEC dept that signed off on the settlement shows up working in a cushy job* for big corporation mentioned in (1.) above.
* usually a director or "consultant".
