Comment Amazing! (Score 2) 28

"access to the management web interface to perform actions on the firewall with root privileges" That there is always amazing to me. After all these years of what seems like *every vendor* having an issue like this with web interface, what dimwitted idiot incompetent would put the web interface reachable directly by the public internet?

Comment SETS and Argus were heads and shoulders better (Score 1) 51

What a load of crap is SecDB. SETS and Argus outperformed the shit out of it for equities. Only the politics of fixed income traders making oodles of money and backing their pet IT people caused the rise of SecDB, which was wholly unsuited for any higher volume trading. A dog with a crappy pedigree. Periodically at Goldman some Comp Sci Phd wanna be asshat would come up with a new language and virtual machine to solve a business problem. Anyone who does this just wants to build their own circle jerk of mastabatury self pleasure. Note to business people: anytime an IT person says that they first have to come up with a new language to solve your business problem rather than use any of the 1000's already extant, fire the asshole. The exception to this is as rare as unicorn scatology. Plus the idiots that supported SecDB used to write the shittiest performing SQL. It was so awful that one almost thinks that like the mythological psychic who gets 100% of the answers to a test wrong they must have had some deeper knowledge of SQL. However they were just incompetent, arrogent little fools. Run away from this turd. *Yes I know SecDB didn'y use SQL internally, but one of the few ways non-SecDB people could judge how these fools coded was when they used SQL to get external data. And boy they coded like crap.
