    I've to write out about 200 of these for my contribution to our software engineering project

    Can you write a script to do that?

    Maybe that is secretly the test.

    nope! we'd need to write everything out first anyway, and the program we're writing is in Java which apparently doesn't like us copy-pasting special symbols so it's unicode all the way!

    What about, like, a function where you give it X, Y, and Z and it gives you back the string. Or something like that. I really don't understand what you're doing. But no problem should require that kind of manual labor.
    We're making a text editor for discrete maths but we want to have a help file with the rules you have to follow (Since our lecturer doesn't put anything up online, its one handout and lets face it, comp sci students and handouts don't go well together)

    since java doesn't like directly inputting special characters, we gotta get our unicode on 
    21	\u22C0/\u2261\u2261	[X \u22C0 (Y \u2261 Z \u2261 W) \u2261 X \u22C0 Y \u2261 X \u22C0 Z \u2261 X \u22C0 W]

    is what's needed for
    21	⋀/≡≡		[X ⋀ (Y ≡ Z ≡ W) ≡ X ⋀ Y ≡ X ⋀ Z ≡ X ⋀ W]

    I don't mind doing the menial work though since I can't write code to save my life

    We don't have it in text form to start off with, all we have is a handout and typing X \u2261 Y is pretty much the same as typing X equiv Y after a while.

    Hahaha spoken like a true man! I agree. Enough chatter ladies. Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap. Why does every chick flick have to be an episode of Oprah? I think if women were born without vocal cords they would surely die. They need to talk about everything and anything. Hey, God bless em. I love women. You ladies are the most beautiful thing God (or whoever) put on this planet. I adore women. But you all could talk a man into a coma.

    Coke, not sure if you have read the news today. There was a fire and two more explosions at the plant which is why I think your mom is freaking out more. Doesn't help China and a few other countries are starting evacuate citizens who want to leave. But it seems the plant just keeps playing how much worse can it get game and isn't done yet.

    Probably that part of Fukushima will be screwed for a while but doubt it will affect you down in Kofu or Tokyo.

    Did all your saves get corrupted, or just one, or a series of saves?

    In all fairness, though - and I don't necessarily know if this applies to DA2 or not yet since I am still working through DA:O - the first few hours of an RPG are usually the worst. This is especially true of a BioWare game. The Citadel was eight hours of "oh God kill me oh God oh God oh God," for instance, and DA:O had the Circle of Magi Tower which was kind of meh, and hell even Baldur's Gate had Candlekeep which was fucking boring after awhile. Great at the time, but boring in retrospect.
