Final Post

Well, after 4998 posts guys, it's been fun. The stark realisation that in reaching 5000 posts I fall into an elite bracket occupied by a 'special' few on this forum has forced me to conclude that I indeed do need to get away from the computer and enjoy life more. So in closing, sayonara, it's been f...

Dr.D Have you worked on Cognos? Have you heard of any good training centres in Dubai? Do you have the knowledge to give a short course on it? I am a fully trained Cognos, SAP and SPSS Clementine dataminer. No idea who would be the best support for this in Dubai though. Sorry Dr. D for answering you...

Cognos BI is a Business Intelligence workbench designed for report developing and datamining.

It is usually sold as a package with Oracle to fill the gap in reporting needs.

It is a mature, but still clunky, package.

Should be able to set up a bill payment and pay either with credit or debit card.

the system works fine. You cannot pay by the E System until you have had the approval by Mastercard or Visa. The ES needs to be registered and confirmed with your card provider only then can you use the E-Sys. If you are using IE and you have a pop up blocker then this will be blocking the pop up t...

I have heard rumour of...and mind you this is purely hypothetical and not in any way a possibility or reality that anyone should or would offer such a thing due to the highly unethical and potentially dodginess of the act or thought of the act...that you can obtain something called a 'Golden Card' ...

All the economic forecasts say prices are going to continue to rise.

However, they're called crashes specifically because not many people see them coming... remember that.

Nobody I have met is reluctant to have Arab friends. Perhaps the problem is with your definition of 'friends'.

I like to wind up newbies. That's my job.

Sage Og Onion is the guy that PMs every new girl ( but purely platonic of course).

The mods are all a$$hats and best avoid even engaging in slightly humerous conversation with them.

Suspect it might be a looks thing then.


Trying to be funny or what? I think the look is a relative thing, some people might like what others don't...and anyway it's not a "looks thing"
