Is this the same Joe Gippo that looks like Andrew Jackson?

Only a handful of guys went to WTS, thats where the old Andover owners parked their business.... for now

The idea that RAM will make your quotes faster is about 95% false. The only reason RAM would make your quotes faster is if you are running a bunch of applications and these apps are actually causing your system to run slower. More RAM wont make quotes faster, but it will ellviate slowness...

Odd how you have one post and its discrediting my information.... Anyway, I am not in the meeting rooms with Assent and the new buyer, but I do have good relationships with Assent and provide whatever info I can because at the end of the day we are all in the same boat, right? Your...

Not if its licensed to a new company. Why would Sungard keep money in their back pocket if they could sell it (which they obviously can)?

One of the developers working on the system resigned, but he was only working on back-end development for the last 2-3 years. In fact, I previously compensated this developer to help me build drivers and filter apps. I actually tried to hire him to do API and GUI work, NEITHER OF WHICH HE WAS...

My boxes stayed up, but my hand trading GUI went down after an outage.... I was dark for about 10 minutes and then no issues. Glad it was lunch time though, I at least got a few minutes to get some sushi!! No unwanted executions, and it appears to have been related to a bad network card...

No issues for me either, maybe check your ISP or your internal networking

Check it out, they allow you to trade-thru when you "follow the rules" Stay in line and play nice, you can get whatever volume you need!! This is "stuffy": http://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/rule611faq.pdf This is not...
