Apparently simple math: 6÷2(1+2) = ?
I am your college professor that you requested, with a doctorate in Mathematics. I will break this down as simply as possible and end this debate as approx. 10 students have already asked me this today. The problem as it is written is 6÷2(1+2) , the ÷ cannot be substituted with a fraction bar because they have different ranks on the order of operations. It is an illegal math move to do this. The bar ranks with parentheses, ÷ is interchangeable with *. therefore the problem must be solved as 6÷2(1+2) NOT 6 (over) 2(1+2) we do the parentheses first, so 6÷2(3), the parentheses are now no longer relevant, because the number inside is in it's simplest form. Every single number has implied parentheses around it. 6÷2(3) (6) ÷(2)(3) 6÷2*3, or even converting the division to multiplication by a reciprocal (a legal math move) (6)(1 (over) 2)(3) are all correct ways to write this problem and mean exactly the same thing. Using pemdas, where md and as are interchangeable, we work from left to right, so (3)(3) or 3*3= 9 Just because something is implied rather than written does not give it any special rank in the order of operations. The problem in it's simplest form, with nothing implied would look like this: (1+1+1+1+1+1 (over) 1) ÷ (1+1 (over) 1) * ((1(over) 1) + (1+1 (over) 1)) From here, nothing is implied, This again, works out to 9. If the symbol '/' was used this whole debate would be ambiguous since that symbol can mean "to divide by" or it could mean a fraction bar. HOWEVER, because the ÷ symbol is used, it can not be changed to mean a fraction bar because that would change the order of operations and thus the whole problem, you can't change a symbol to mean something because you want to, in doing so you are changing the problem. Once and for all, the answer is 9. Hopefully some of my students see this so I can stop answering this question. End of debate... hopefully.
ROCKETMAIL? Apparently not a valid email address?
I have two facebook accounts, and two rocketmail accounts. Neither will log-in, both tell me the email account is not associated with a facebook account/and it's not a valid email address. I know yahoo had a technical glitch yesterday, but their twitter account says they're restored all functionality, so what gives?!
Why did Yahoo Mail become less popular?
One of the most important reasons for yahoo becoming unpopular is hackingHere is an article I wrote on yahoo being hacked for almost two years.Yahoo Hacked: 500 Million Users At Risk! - ED | The Youth BlogHacking web giants is nothing now. It happens every second month, data is lost, people are suspected and if you don’t find people then you suspect North Korea, useless words and threats are thrown around and then another hacking happens and so the cycle continues.But it looks like Yahoo tried real hard to break the cycle by doing something no web giant could have ever imagined to do, truly path breaking actions done on the part of Yahoo. They let Yahoo be hacked!500 million users affected!Yahoo officials confirmed that the website has suffered a massive data, probably the biggest cyber breach ever.The breach has affected over 500 million user accounts. Their personal information, addresses may have been stolen. Yahoo is yet to confirm the extent of the breach because apparently, ‘they suspect’ that other Yahoo services like Tumblr, Flickr and Fantasy Football might be affected too.Funnily enough, Yahoo officials in an attempt to save their own skin said that it was a state-sponsored act and the breach had existed since 2014.For two years Yahoo was hacked and they didn’t even know about it. They suspect personal information is stolen, I say, I am sure personal information is stolen and now Yahoo to save its dignity (if it has any left) the theft becomes state sponsored.In its latest statement Yahoo confirmed that a singular breach existed since 2014 but they were able to trace it in August this year when another breach surfaced!Damage ControlSince the harm is already done Yahoo will simply reset all its passwords and work closely with Cyber Law Enforcement to prevent any further loss.It’s a trying time for Yahoo. After going through enormous economic loss, CEO Meyers was hoping for a change of fortunes but the breach has just darkened the situation for Yahoo.

I can resevie e-mail in 1 yahoo address and not the 2nd address?
Apparently a LOT of people are having this problem, me included. I have more than one acct with Yahoo and not all are affected. I forwarded those having problems to those not and am receiving my email again including those during the time I was receiving nothing. I plan on contacting "customer service" (and I use that term loosley) tomorrow. By the way, I do not use the Beta yahoo nor the I.E. 7
