B = 3
A = 2

:D

Scarlet, which songs were they? If anything, I have more music stuff than what I had before, so I probably still have them. :)

Tim, you're missing not B... Where's the not button on the keyboard? ¬B, there we go.

Just use a tilde. ~B, used by math people everywhere.
Or just use an eep (exclamation point to you naysayers). !B, used by comp sci people everywhere.

Well sure, I call it that too, but only in math, when it means factorial. In any other case, I call it an eep.

Presumably it's pronounced differently depending on its contextual meaning, as # is. 'Bang' is what I heard it called in reference to the unix shortcut for repeating the last command or the last command beginning with a given character.  I'm pretty sure in mathematical contexts I only heard it as "factorial", tedious as that got, and in the modicum of C I was awake for it was just called "not".  I must say "not B" seems much easier to say than "eep B" (or worse, "eep P", to use the traditional symbolic logic variable), simply because I'm not fond of bilabial clusters.  They hurt my throat.

Is ¬B actually used that much?  I know at one point I was seeing three different negation notations (and this was before encountering !) but it seems to me that one was very idiosyncratic, and I think that was the one.  Electrical engineers (or maybe just my dad) used macrons, which I have no idea how to type.

Well, in that context you'd say "not B", yes. I call the exclamation point itself eep, though. Why? Because of conversations like this:
Quote:
<PersonA> ?
<PersonB> !

The way I'd say this out loud is...
Quote from I would have:
Person A: na?
PersonB: eep!

Basically, it saves me havnig to say/type out the phrase "exclamation point", and makes my brain work strange.

wow. thanks, chanoire. i too got such knowledge ("bang") from my dad, but never knew in what context that was used. i suppose that comes from the days when you couldn't just hit up in the shell and get the previous command.

My fundamentals of unix teacher still calls it a bang for, for instance, forcing a quit in vi...

Well, just to get back on topic and add my 2 cents: Having been owner/main admin/support admin of numerous boards myself I can say this much: well done on the choice in reducing the number of moderators.

There is such a thing as overdoing the moderating. There's lots and lots of boards out there that have something like 1 moderator to every 10 members. That is far too many mods. I think the ratio should be more along the lines of 1 moderator to every 100 - 1000 members (depending on the tools the moderator has to do his/her job).
