But would two inverters really be enough?

587
...and you have three options:

1. You have an infinite number of NAND gates

2. You have an infinite number of NOR gates

3. You have an infinite number of AND and OR gates and two inverters

Which do you choose?

Ouch.
Yes....

What i usually do is tell people that we cant start until there is content since a website is not a website if there isnt anything to put in it.
They have content on their current page...But they need better content....That's what they don't understand.

Only thing that makes this a bit different than a standard website is that this is for a band.

Content-wise you are looking photos of the band, samples of their music. Be specific in the kind of content you are looking for. In all honesty though a band website isnt really all about the content, word-wise anyhow. Its about the music. They may have a point about the colors and layout because to them the look is the most important and they are your client. Again they may realize that they don't have a lot of content to give, simply because it isnt there. The most content word-wise I could see them needing is some sort of about the band page, the rest is all stuff like pictures and music samples. If they have albums that they released maybe some information about them. If they link off to the albums for purchase, make sure the links actually take you to the album. Their current links don't work.

Sounds like your making a mock-up that is a great idea, give them something to discuss and allow them the chance to give you feedback. Goodluck, you got some work ahead of you.
They are hiring me because they wanted a more professional web page. I can easily make a professional-looking page design, but in order for it to really come across as more professional, they need to modify their content quite a bit from what it is now. As you suggested, an "about the band" page would be great, but first I need the content to go on that page...

How about Rocky Raccoon? I haven't really looked at the chords for that, nor have I listened to it lately, so I'm not positive if that fits or not.

Also, In The Still of the Night.

And The Magic Moment should be This* Magic Moment.

I can already do all the design and layout, the issue is GETTING the content. Their current page content does not effectively or efficiently portray them as a group. Ignoring the layout of the page, they obviously need to have a different approach to their content. The current site is www.extendedroots.com

I have not done a lot of web design (I prefer to do more dynamic forms of coding) but I'm proficient enough to make an entire website from scratch. I have been commissioned by my mom's bluegrass/old-time/celtic band to redesign their website (THEY NEED IT o.O) and I am running into a few issues, not with the coding of the web page, but with explaining some things to the less computer-literate members.

The band is all women over 45 (some quite a bit older) and they have a tendency to disagree on certain kinds of things. My problem is that some of them don't understand that the ACTUAL CONTENT on the page is just as important as the LAYOUT, if not MORE important.

What's the best way to get a client to understand that colors, alignment, backgrounds, text sizes, positioning, etc. can be easily changed, and that the FIRST thing they need to focus on is the content? They're all still stuck on arguing about colors...

ANY help is greatly appreciated!

I'm using Axe for Mummy, but I'm going to try to at least make Shot using Assembly. I need the practice with ASM.

Something happened when I tried to compile one time and I lost everything, including the backup that the compiler makes. >:(

Starting over...........

You need to factor x^2-x-12. Find two numbers that multiply to equal A*C and add up to B. -4 and 3 fit this requirement, so you can now write it as (x-4)(x+3). Then you just plug it into the full equation to get ((x-4)(x+3)/x)/(x/(x-4)).

597
Lol I guess that's one way to do it, SirCmpwn

What do you mean Ashbad? Like AXE to assembly?

So, people post Axe code all the time on the forums, and I began thinking that it would be nice to have an off-calc compiler for code like that. Then I realized that in order to do that the whole compiler would have to be replicated...so instead I thought it would be useful to have something that read through the code and stored the source in the token forms that the calculator uses, and saves that as a file that you can easily send to your calculator. This could also work in the opposite direction to read a file FROM the calculator and translate back into individual characters instead of tokens. Any thoughts? I was thinking of just making this with a java applet so it's easily accessible for cross platform use.

EDIT: I suppose this could be used for BASIC programs, too, if all it's doing is token-izing character strings.

That is completely true. Those proportions are for drawing someone realistically, so you'd probably not want those for something like this.
