Except the modifier 'either' implies XOR, not OR, so:
For A being false and B true
A XOR B = true
For A being true and B false
A XOR B = true
And for A being true and B true
A XOR B = false

Or as one giant lever that encircles the hub completely.
(I got the idea about the wheel == level thing from the podcast novel 'Death by Cliche'. Hilariously funny book. But I loved that insight.)

Interestingly, a wheel can be generalized as a series of levers (the spokes) that convert linear motion into radial motion.

Michael Waddoups should be put in jail. You do have a point here, but I'll go one better. He previously supported Jack's bill, but now because Jack is exercising his right of free speech, however annoyingly, Michael is not going to support the bill. This is not commercial, and it is only unsolicited in the sense that they did not expect it. But of all people lawmakers should be accepting input on pending legislation. Claiming this is SPAM is clearly abuse of the laws they made, and they should know better. Utah State Senate President should absolutely know better.
You're missing one key fact: This legislation is NOT pending! It was already passed and vetoed.

He also sent a letter to Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick's attorney, addressed to Zelnick's mother, in which Thompson accused her son of "doing everything he possibly can to sell as many copies of GTA: IV to teen boys in the United States, a country in which your son claims you raised him to be a 'a Boy Scout'.
Wait... he triggered Godwin's Law? No wonder he's having all these problems!

Submission + - Child's Play Raises The Bar! (childsplaycharity.org)
Utoxin writes: "One of my favorite charity organizations, Child's Play (founded by the guys of Penny Arcade), has just posted a new record for money raised during their brief holiday season!
Not only did we break the million dollar mark, but we decimated it with our new total of $1,135,000! This significant achievement made this holiday season a happier, brighter one in our fifty partner hospitals. To everyone who has contributed to this amazing milestone, thank you!
The hospital wish lists are still online, and some have seen new items added. While we try to get lots of new games and more to the children in time for the holidays, the hospitals have a need for equipment year-round. Likewise, we will continue to accept donations through Amazon, PayPal and the mail until next year's fundraiser kicks off. "
