^Actually, that was me, not Coasterkid. Simple, obvious failures such as that make your trolling much less effective (I'm here to help [;)]).

Originally posted by Onjin Yeah, I tried Knex out about 6 years ago. Shitty. Never tried CD, looks too fast from videos. You can make a pretty decent screamin' squirrel with K'nex, but you have to be fairly creative (and well-practiced with the kits). It's definitely not good for any rides of large...

Sounds like the anti-rollback brakes on the launch were under-designed...

It's difficult to compare a piano to a analog synth to an organ; they all operate using completely different mechanisms. In fact, the only thing they share is a keyboard! Piano is a percussion instrument, snyth is electronic, and organ is wind. Piano has the highest precision, synth has the greatest...

Ha! Even the park admits that El Toro is NOT a wooden coaster [;)]

^That's the last movement, yes. Each piece within the suite is a completely different style, and that's the ragtime/cakewalk element.

This makes me want to make a GCI, expect it probably wouldn't be as well-crafted as yours. Great work so far!

Great topic... How long have you been playing? 14-15 years, give or take What's your favorite piece? Depends on the day. If you want my favorite composer, it's Debussy.

Deadline is Sept. 2, huh? I'll start Wednesday.

I just moved to Lafayette, IN, so it's Indiana Beach (used to be Holiday World). I'll probably buy some season tickets next year!

Hopefully they'll continue the debt reduction Shapiro started.

...like paying a huge mark-up to have somebody else handle all the messy technical details. Users are given a simplified, safer experience at the expense of computational capabilities. Mac owners aren't stupid, they're just generally in non-technical fields. For instance, when I'm talking with someo...

^but everything is simpler (and therefore better) in "us v. them" mode! Get with the program... [;)]

Originally posted by ianko66 I HATE Gimp. It is so damn overcomplicated in so many ways. I have used it, but it is a last resort (before ms paint, of course). Photoshop <3 I don't draw much of a distinction between the two because you can skin the GIMP to look like photoshop: http://www.gimpshop.co...

My experience has not been that bad on either OS. I use the GIMP for most of my image editing needs, including screenshots.

Steel Hawg really exceeded my expectations, but now I'll make sure not to ride it with somebody wearing a poncho. Who the hell cares about records anyways? Sure, the strange drops and angles on the El Loco design are kind of gimmicky, but it's not like they're claiming that every element breaks a re...

I will continue to purchase equipment which I am allowed to maintenance, is capable of handling heavy computational tasks, and is not offensively overpriced.

Putting those Timberliners to use, I see... looks interesting.

Hmmm, not the only space-related crash recently:

It happens to the best of us [:P]

^But that's not statistically insignificant, either. The main issue here is that it's from a poll that places MF 5th <!-- s[lol] --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_ugeek.gif" alt="[lol]" title="test" /><!-- s[lol] --> If Intimidator is actually better than The Voyage, I'll eat my own head (though I ...

To quote South Park:

Giant douche!

Turd sandwich!


That being said, it's always nice to see a step towards equality. Well done.
