- If he goes to the Knicks, I hope he's got a police escort from the set of his 'tv show'. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:57 3
  - If he goes to the Knicks, I think he only gains Knicks fans, and loses a lot of others -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 13:04 1

      - heh -- nm - Don Homer Jul 7, 13:00
    - if sign is the only communication, maybe; but you still have to know how to communicate when you do, right? -- nm - b. Jul 7, 12:53
    - well, the goal of the sign language is to be able to communicate earlier than speech would normally develop - Beryllium Jul 7, 12:52 1
      - (And, some of what I've heard suggests that baby sign language can speed things up, since the word association makes more sense) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 12:54

- 77 and 74% -- nm - CQ Jul 7, 12:47 3
  - and no way is it that cool. They must have the East Hampton weather station monitor a mile out in the ocean -- nm - CQ Jul 7, 12:48 2
    - Yeah, no way it's nearly 20 degrees cooler by you than here in the city. - Krusty Jul 7, 12:51 1

LDRS (large dangerous rocket ships) is a model rocket contest on Discovery Science hosted by Mythbusters Keri. it is fun - peglegpete Jul 7, 12:41 6
- This puts her one step closer to porn - TWuG Jul 7, 12:47 1
  - in hidef, her make up is atrocious. way too much -- nm - peglegpete Jul 7, 12:51
- yeah, I checked that out. They had a race for the fastest rocket. One rocket won because the others were dq'ed. stupid -- nm - CQ Jul 7, 12:47 1
  - dude, spoilers! - znufrii Jul 7, 12:47

"I saw the sign "Do Not Enter With Girl" and thought it was the start of another one of your Murder Mystery Dinners" -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 12:40
I love that Millennium Force still gets named to Best Coaster lists. -- nm - David Jul 7, 12:40 20
- Well, they're huge investments; building things to top it aren't cheap or easy. Hell, Kings Dominion already tore down a flagship ride from 2001 - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:41 16
  - I have yet to meet someone who has remaine conscious throughout Kings Dominion's new ride "Dominator." I'm a coaster nut and blacked out every time. - MDH Jul 7, 12:45 5
    - I mean "Intimidator" NOT Dominator sorry! -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 12:48
    - yeah, I think I'm going to have to pass... - znufrii Jul 7, 12:47
    - As long as it's not a concussion-maker...ala the NY/NY vegas coaster, I'll try it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:46
    - *crosses this one off my list* -- nm - TFox Jul 7, 12:45 1
      - You dominated MDH on the Dominator? -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 7, 12:46
  - what did KD get rid of? - samara Jul 7, 12:43 9
    - Hypersonic XLC. See my above post on the Intimidator -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 12:47
    - The Hypersonic XL. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:45 7
      - Actually judging their map, this isn't the same location....looks like the Hurler is where the XLS used to be. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:51 1
        
        dominator was new I think 2 years ago, the Intimidator just opened in April and is madness - MDH Jul 7, 12:53
      - as long as the rebel yell and the grizzly remain, i'm good. -- nm - samara Jul 7, 12:49 4
        
        Love the Rebel Yell and Anaconda and Volcano. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:54
        
        They remain, but rarely run. The last 3 times I've been they haven't been running. -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 12:54 2
        
        That'd make me sad if Rebel Yell isn't up and running anymore. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:57
        
        well, that's a bummer...maintenance, I wonder? they are both pretty old... -- nm - samara Jul 7, 12:56
- Is magnum XL still a walk-up? That seemed like heresy. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 12:41 1
  - Last time I was there it was. And it's an awesome heresy. Their loss, our win. -- nm - TFox Jul 7, 12:44
- I imagine it will remain until someone builds a better coaster. And I can't imagine there's too many better. -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 12:41
Jax: Do you use Access at your job very often? It's been ages since I used it (only ever did at college) ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 12:39 6
- No, not at the new job. Do everything in SQL Server Manager now with direct queries. I did at the last job though all day. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 12:42 3
  - well, what I was trying to say is that if you SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY col1 LIMIT 65000, the next offset would be the remainder of rows - Beryllium Jul 7, 12:48 2
    - Interesting. See, I'd definitely add an ID field and order by in that instance then. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 12:56 1
      - That's a fine way to go, it does give you an anchor for ordering. That's all you really need - some unique anchor. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 13:03
- All the time here. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:40
- I do. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 7, 12:40
Related: I just gave my dad a birthday card with a cartoon of a dinosaur chasing a caveman on the front. - Dr.Vermin Jul 7, 12:39 2
- Related to what? - Black Rabbit Jul 7, 12:41 1
