from TFA: An OR gate returns a 1 if either of two inputs is 1. An XOR gate returns a 1 if either or both inputs are 1.
um... XOR is 1 if either inputs are 1, but 0 if they are both 1. If they think they built a half adder with what is actually an OR gate, they need to back to 1st year discrete math. Hint: a half adder is an XOR gate and an AND gate.
Also, if they built a half adder, a full adder shouldn't be too hard, just another half adder and an OR gate...
According to that, it's an actual "language", wherein as you would write C++ and compile it to a machine executable format, you code in LZX, which is then compiled into SWF bytecode.
IIRC a stout or dark ale has at least the same ABV% if not more, doesnt it?
Now that's a popular myth. Believe it or not, Guinness, for example, has around the same ABV of Budweiser. It supposedly has even less in Ireland because of the tax structure there. Dark beer and stouts aren't any thicker or more alcholic than thier lighter cousins, they just have different "mouthfeel" because of the nitrogen taps (many stouts), or the extreme maltyness (many dark beers like bock)
So, get off your chicken butt and drink a nice dopplebock or a yummy, creamy, stout and not worry about the ABV.
(You should pay attention to the IBU when drinking IPA, however. Look it up and realize that Stone Ruination gets the powerup and wins the game)
I know a squillion people with suggest gnucash with even thinking about it, just because someone wants something with "accounting" in it. However, gnucash, bastion of free accounting software, has a secret. it sucks! I realize that writing free accounting software in your spare time isn't most people's idea of fun (hence the astounding lack of free accounting software), but for cripes sake, if you are going to do something, at least do it right!
gnucash is the perfect example of software written without the end user in mind. Compare check writing, for example, in gnucash with any modern accounting software system. The "checks" in gnucash are a random layout of textboxes and comboboxes. Most people expect the layout of a check! The whole gnucash system is unintuitive. I realize that doing every double-entry transaction by hand is the pinnacle of power, but for the love of toast, it's damn trivial to automate most of that, which would also eliminate most mistakes.
I won't go into how ugly it is, because I know they've been having a developer shortage and have to write a lot of specialized widgets.
Luckily I write accounting software for a living and can use that software for my needs, but I need a windows box to do that. If gnucash could get it's UI down, it would rock. I would switch to gnucash because it's a pain for me to TS into my windows box to do my bank stuffs.
As for staying on topic, gnucash won't do time billing like he needs, so it's a bad suggestion to start with.
BTW, check out http://www.rentmanager.com/ It won't do what he needs either, but it IS what keeps me in waffles and beer.

Upgrade to atleast IE 5.5 for MacOS or get a real browser! I hear mozilla.org has a fine product available. FOR FREE EVEN!!!

the idea of a fantasy role-playing game featuring only one white male avatar will seem a strange, misguided aspect of our distant past.
Right. Because heterosexual white males are, in fact, nothing more than a myth. And anyone saying otherwise is a homophobe or a terrorist. Puh-leeze.
One white male avatar will seem strange and misguided??! Oh, of course. White males aren't really people. They are just dragons waiting to eat all the REAL, CLAIRVOIANT PEOPLE. After all, "white" is a real race. Just like ALL "black" people are african-americans. I guess I'm German-American, or European-American.... No? Not born in Europe or even in Germany you say? But the "black" baby born in Cleveland is somehow African-American?? Why not Kenyan-American, or even Egyptian-American?
