Basically there's this mainframe software that does too things sequentially, it does some calculation, then it collects PDF files. This process usually takes 15 minutes on average.
A new developer got a hold of the code and made the 2 processes run at the same time, so the entire process is now taking 3-5 minutes. The customer complained saying it must be not working because it's taking too short!!!
so he put code that delays the output for 12 minutes, just made the mainframe do nothing for 12 minutes. the customer is happy now!!!
HAHAHHAHAHA

I love bag training, it's really really darn good.
They would be boxing/muay thai gloves. The UFC gloves you see are fighting gloves and they would offer very little protection when hitting a bag. Boxing/MT gloves from my understanding are pretty much the same but the MT gloves offer a bit more thumb movement (see clinching). I'll probably buy a bigger, thicker, bag hitting glove. Either 12 or 14 oz.

So I decided to go to the dealer to activate, and they take away my working siren and can't get the audible confirmation...

Well all is good, at least they didn't make me go all the way down there pick up the car to find out they didn't do anything. The SA called me and let me know the situation, and i told him to tell his tech to go back to the drawing board, cuz now I was -1 feature that I had already.

He graciously did so, and promised to call me at 2 today. He called me at 2pm on the dot to let me know it was done.

or

http://www.muaythaistuff.com/product...Dragon-Pattern


I'll have to ask around to see if bag gloves are really necessary and offer better protection.

You could really hurt your hands/knuckles hitting those large punching bags with your hands. Unless you are a real Muay Thai Kickboxer who trains 6 hours a day in Thailand...

I agree. Now a days, good service is extremely hard to find. Fortunately I have a good friend that works at a local dealer.
