Romney unveils his energy plan -- (link) - znufrii Aug 23, 13:48 5
- Drill, frack, pit state economies against each other by making these environmental decisions themselves. - pmb Aug 23, 13:53
- "an energy plan [that] ... would make North America energy independent by 2020" - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 23, 13:50 2
  - But the US can buy energy from both countries. It would just shift America's energy dependency from other countries to its neighbours. -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 14:06
  - Yes we can! -- nm - Stephen Harper si Aug 23, 13:51
- But it only covers the last two years. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 23, 13:48
Guess I survived my day-care tour group this morning, but I may have nightmares about small people in lime green t-shirts. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 23, 13:46 5
- Did you smack one of them a fresh one across their Cheerio Hole? -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 23, 14:00
- C'mon, I bet it was adorable. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 23, 13:48 3
  - I was okay until I walked towards them with a plate of crackers and butter and was suddenly in fear of being trampled. - MojaveMeg Aug 23, 13:52 2
    - crackers and butter? you are lucky they did not flog you with noodles. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 13:53 1
      - Ah, but they help make the butter as part of the tour. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 23, 13:57

        I still pop off with the "no wheezing da juice" in an awful Indian accent. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 14:08
        
        no, funnier. - Beryllium Aug 23, 13:50

Hey folks, was Wrath of the Titans worth watching? I'm now addicted to Downton Abbey, thinking of returning it unwatched to get S2 discs. -- nm - kelly Aug 23, 13:39 11

  - ....Did you see it? -- nm - kelly Aug 23, 13:41 4
    - No -- but the first sucked; there's no reason for #2 and no one said otherwise. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 13:41 3
      - Oh. Well now you will get to watch more Downton Abbey - LUCKY YOU!! -- nm - kelly Aug 23, 13:45 2
        
        That's fine...we have Hunger Games to watch too. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 13:47 1
        
        Yeah, that's only 2.5 hrs though. -- nm - kelly Aug 23, 13:54

  - is that what Andie is calling it now? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 23, 13:36 3
    - oh, yes, yes i am! - Andie Aug 23, 13:37 2
      - Sorry. I'm sure your wedding will be lovely, but the Canadian Royal Wedding is Avril and Chad. - crash davis Aug 23, 13:42 1
        
        (i know) - Andie Aug 23, 13:42
  - heh. oh, it's news. mocking news, but news! :) -- nm - Andie Aug 23, 13:36
- not to mention stalkerish. slow down, girl! -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 13:34 14
  - it's really creepy that she's 22 and he's 18. I can't... how? -- nm - amanda Aug 23, 13:45 10
    - it's not *that* creepy. a little. -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 13:47
    - and in High School. -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 13:46 8
      - he graduated. -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 13:47 7
        
        i keep reading reports that he's going back for his senior year... not true? -- nm - Andie Aug 23, 13:49 6
        
        he may be 18 but Taylor appears to be a girl who acts like she's 16 -- nm - Epiphany Aug 23, 13:57
        
        I thought he was heading off to college? -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 13:57 3
        
        googled... OH. he's heading off to boarding school. you're right, still high school. a super mega fancy one, but still. -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 13:58 2
        
        He's a Kennedy. You expect him to go to public school? -- nm - spamlet Aug 23, 13:59 1
        
        no, I'm saying I got confused because I read he was getting ready to go away for school. -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 14:02
        
        thats what I thought. he was a high school junior -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 13:49

Anyone familiar with string sort order in MySQL? - GregW Aug 23, 13:24 13
- as far as I know, ORDER BY fieldname and "sort" should be the same; otherwise try "sort -d" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 13:27
- why not just import them into a temp table and sort them in mysql directly? -- nm - oblique Aug 23, 13:27 11
  - I keep running out of sort work space when using the Order By. So what I really need is a way to run 10 simultaneous queries against a 200 million - GregW Aug 23, 13:30 9
    - have you looked into views? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 13:31 8
      - No, what would that look like? -- nm - GregW Aug 23, 13:33 7
        
        I forget the exact syntax, but it's like a table that represents a query - so you could make a query that selects the subset, - Beryllium Aug 23, 13:36 6
        
        I don't know what you mean by 'selects the subset'. Right now, I am selecting the whole table into a file and sorting the file. - GregW Aug 23, 13:47 5
        
        SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 40000000,60000000 ORDER BY whatever. What is your requirement for sorting? - oblique Aug 23, 13:52 3
        
        Thanks, I will try that. It isn't the time needed, but it apparently keeps running out of space even though I have over 100G free. - GregW Aug 23, 13:57 1
        
        very strange. How big is the field you are sorting on, or what datatype is it? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 14:09
        
        Yes, indexes can speed up sorting (and even just selecting) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 13:53
        
        using LIMIT and OFFSET, yes -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 13:50
  - This would be the most reliable solution. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 13:28
Tomorrow, Finch will be my working assistant. He's going in the kiddie backpack and we're gonna work! -- nm - CQ Aug 23, 13:19 6
- Finn or Pinch? -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 13:37 1
  - Finch of the law firm Pinch, Finch, & The Grinch -- nm - CQ Aug 23, 13:40
- hold his nose when you change screens under water -- nm - Epiphany Aug 23, 13:25 3
  - change screens? I have no idea what you're babbling about -- nm - CQ Aug 23, 13:36 2
    - Pippy's submarine has screen doors. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 13:37 1
      - and it's yellow -- nm - Epiphany Aug 23, 13:42

    - you missed my giving you the seal of approval as Gauss driver the other day. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 13:21 8
      - ooh, now that I am sorry that I missed -- nm - crash davis Aug 23, 13:22 7
        
        other than you running over that chunk of blown up tank every time, you were stellar! -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 13:23 6
        
        that is what kept throwing the other team off -- nm - crash davis Aug 23, 13:34 5
        
        I pondered how difficult it would be to get a perfection on a heavies map like that. - groiny Aug 23, 13:37 4
        
        I did the Dr. STalk thing and see I missed an entertaining grifball discussion -- nm - crash davis Aug 23, 13:39 1
        
        you know spawn and his hammer. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 13:40
        
        I had a near perfection on Avalanche one time with Heavies...but I ruined it by stepping off the ledge I was standing on. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 13:38 1
        
        31- 0, on Graveyard, with tanks, planes and lasers against a Gauss Hog. - groiny Aug 23, 13:39

  - loosilu wins, but was still way off...actual number is 94.4% - ceregon Aug 23, 13:19 3
    - Jeebus. I thought at *community* college, there would be less partying and more class-attending. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 23, 13:30 2
      - I would guess they have to skip class a lot for work and family stuff. -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 13:35
