OK, here is an article that I thought was quite interesting.  It deals in
part with Enron.

http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/pipermail/haskell/2002-April/005936.html

I like the part where they mathematically proved that a bunch of Enron's
highly valued contracts (used to offset debt apparently), where meaningless
and worthless.  He used haskell (a language I keep meaning to learn).

There were also some interesting comments from a financial guy (as opposed to
a techie) about unix in there.
