Catch of the day users noticed something was fishy back in February 2012. "We take data security seriously" said Catch of the Day rep. Yet CotD continued to choose not to tell anyone: http://www.itwire.com/business...
Here is my story on this event, including (page 2) a "Q&A" I managed to get from them where they avoided most of my questions: http://www.itwire.com/business...
There are many good reasons for open source voting system but this story by the Daily Kos is a beat up, and is based solely on the lack of technical ability by the person making the claims.
I've actually downloaded the database, restored it successfully in SQL Server 2008 and examined it and there really is no basis to this story.
That doesn't mean I support Sequoia, that doesn't mean I support closed voting systems, just merely in this particular instance the story is not based on fact.
Here's how to restore it and what you'll find: http://www.itwire.com/content/view/28715/1141/
One of the many flaws in 2Clix is that you get an unhandled division by zero exception when reprinting payslips if a certain non-mandatory field is zero or empty.
Now, surely division by zero is the most basic and fundamental example of error handling used in any programming course or book or tutorial or other.
To my mind, 2Clix are receiving negative criticisms for having software which is poorly-written and unreliable in its behaviour and outputs. To then attempt to silence critics by demanding censorship of unpalatable comments is nothing short of arrogant, bullying and reprehensible.
I can barely imagine 2Clix or its lawyer considered how massive and widespread the publicity would become! People worldwide now know of this tiny accounting software package - and not for good reasons.
Whirlpool.net.au is a well-respected forum, frequented by many IT professionals and decision-makers. I think 2Clix will find that Simon Wright has far more credibility and supporters than they do.
