Comment Re:Add a 5 row slide out keyboard (Score 1) 45

Back in the day, phones had a numeric keypad which also allowed a kind of touch-typing for text messages. Then people started getting online with their phones more and more, and ended up typing more than talking. If things were logical, this would have resulted in better/larger keyboards for phones, such as the slide-out QWERTY ones. Instead, we lost even the small numeric keypads due to some idiotic fashion ideas.

(I still have my Nokia N900 which I use as a backup phone and camera -- it has a better camera than many of today's cheaper "smart"phones.)

You run Windows and it blue screens. You run Linux or FreeBSD on that same hardware and it doesn't panic or log anything that looks like hardware issues, it runs for years without issue.

Yes ECC RAM solves random bit flips, but they happen so infrequently they can't be the cause of every Windows BSOD.

And this is probably clearly explained in the teaching. It's five times three. that is, take three and make five of them. 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3.

Wrong. You start with the five, now how many times do you want it? I want it times three! Therefore, three groups of five.

3x5 take five and make three of them = 5x5x5.

Wrong. You start with the three, now how many times do you want it? I want it times five! Therefore, five groups of three.
