  1. How dare they speak for the female population? (Im assuming some of the members are married)
  2. He can't be much of a draw if he is sitting at home. I'm also looking at the specific thing he is endorsing, the golf ball that can be most effectively endorsed while playing and winning. Finally, I'm sure tiger will make a lot of money in endorsements, but that's not the topic. I would not have made my comment if we were talking about an insurance company endorsement, or an apparel one. Right, and I was specifically speaking to him not playing. I have a hard time believing he lined up all the balls and tested them and then said hey ya I want to go with these guys.. more likely it was Bridgestone that convinced him to go with them. ------------- anyway, in a couple of years in sure someone would be able to evaluate their revenues and market share and how they were impacted by this deal.
  3. I would like to see the statistics on the outcome of this deal in a couple of years. They are also taking a chance, but I wonder if they have a clause just in case he gets hurt again?
  4. I wonder if he filed those taxes?
  5. Because doing another rude action is the perfect answer? What if they said **** off. What are you going to do then? You will either have to escalate or just walk away with your tail between your legs no?
  6. Non issue for me. When I'm traveling for business it would be great to be connected instead of losing those couple hours, and when it's personal I'm usually with 3 kids. By all means talk away, it'll keep you busy from paying attention yo how loud and annoying my kids can be!
  7. Did you come up with that on the spot or you hear it somewhere because that shit is funny... needed that. Thanks
  8. Maybe it is. But it's the truth, I have more important things to worry about now. To my defense I did say right now, so that might change later on in life.
  9. That's interesting you say that, I think today there was a referendum in Switzerland to a proposal to fade out their 5 or 6 power plants.. they are one of the most competitive economies in the world and they voted to not phase out anything. I guess the plants are getting old, but the people don't care because they don't want to count their hens before the eggs hatch (ie the clean renewable energy sources)
  10. Scientist who don't believe Another article I really don't care one way or another at this moment in time, but a quick search and "virtually every scientist" is a bit bold in my opinion. Plenty of others I didn't link to.
  11. Something very comforting about having my coffee while driving.. almost like a tradition of sorts.
  12. Coke studios where they take an American artist and an Arab artist and they mesh them together.. What's interesting is that with most of the ones I have seen it is exclusively a male American artist and a female Arab one. One more
  13. Nice.. Right now I'm not that big of a fan of the email programing in access. I especially hated how some coding for the 2003 version wouldn't work for them 2010 version specifically since I was using outlook to send the emails.. but anyway, yeah it could be set up to auto send weekly reports, and or specific data when prompted... did I say I love access? Excel on steroids I call it! I'm not concerned with data base, but from the sound of it it's not like the guy are tracking 1 car.. sounds like a campground type of business that is spread across multi locations (could be wrong).. so, with out guessing I know from experience the entry point and data collection are always key components and it take time and effort to finalize how it will be entered and how to control it. The data manipulation after is easy I agree. Although it will still take more time to figure out the access controls ect.. building forms for users to access data ect.. it's one thing to be build a data base for your self, but once it becomes an "application" it takes me days just to like the look I want to present to others lol! Sounds like a fun project if you ask me.. Edit: @Lihu great point about how it always sounds simple in the beginning.. usually it's an innocents request that turns out to be months of back and fourths before anything is rolled out ;) p.s. that's probably one of the not so good things about me being on both sides of the aisle. Someone comes to me for something small, and by the time I'm done questioning them it usually turns out they want an ERP :)
  14. I would probably think that it would take longer than a couple days to do.. even a simple data base wouldn't be that simple depending on how many users and what you want it to do. I built an access application to manage a payment process and it took me nearly 3 months before rolling out the initial version. You basically have to consider several things. 1. Point of entry / design 2. Maintaining the data base 3. Reporting / querying 4. Audit of program So, would you have multiple points of entry? Putting enough controls to make sure that no idiot can enter bogus data, authorizations ect. Heck, it might take a couple days to just sit down with you and finalize the requirements.
  15. I saw it on amazon. I just checked back and it seems they removed it from pre-order. I'm going to assume enough people pre-ordered it that it's not available anymore.. wow.
  16. I saw the wireless controller selling for $20... isnt the system for like $60? It wasn't in stock yet, but you could pre-order it for Dec..
  17. Yes.. that one.. so, they didn't have enough 3rd party support to come out with blockbuster hit games.. what make them think the switch will be any different? (They say they have buy in from 3rd parties for the switch), but reality is that's the critics and financial analysts are concerned about this point as well. I end up with a console that I put significantly amount of money into, games, equipment ect and now I can forget about any new games for it. I will wait and see though, but I'm not sure I'll make the switch! :)
  18. Well this sucks.. I like the WiiU and I just don't get this strategy.. I've just lost faith in Nintendo.
  19. I will let you know when I get to play again. I haven't played since I don't have access to a golf course, and I haven't picked up a club in a long time now either. I guess I miss it, but probably closer to indifferent at this point. I'm not sure when I'll get to play again, but I'll definitely report back on how I did!
  20. Walmart did that for a few things I bought online as well.. I'm assuming they figure someone could just return the item to the store and buy the cheaper version.
  21. Nice to have you Gareth! I think they have a sponsors program where you can pay a nominal fee to promote your product.. good luck!
  22. Hello.. so is this like a shared account?
  23. But no HDMI isn't that a bit much? I figure that will be the standard for like another 20 years maybe...
  24. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/new-macbook-pro-2016-sudo-review-sameer-jaffer just sharing...
