I wonder if a big part of the problem is that the breakdown of the concepts is wrong; someone above talks about teaching counting starting with 0 instead of 1, because it forces and understanding of where 10 is coming from. With that understanding of 0 and 10, understanding 100 and 1000 and 1 million is easy, without it, it is nearly impossible (or at least, the big numbers will continue to be confusing and mysterious).
So the standards are written to check if a student has memorized the definition of a factor and that they know that zero is nothing, but do they check to see if the student has internalized zero as an abstract concept?
(The idea I am sort of reaching for here is that lots of abstract concepts depend on other abstract concepts, and people/students that lack an internalization of the basic abstractions have little hope of ever understanding the higher ones, whether they have learned some definitions by rote or not).
It could be, but it seems a little crazy to charge less than it costs to provide (especially when the 4g service is something many people are going to use as their only data access, which means that they will care less about the coverage, as long as they can get it at home, so introductory pricing would snare a bunch of people that would just jump to DSL or whatever).
Wholly owned, as of a year or three ago (In the U.S., Sprint bought Virgin out and paid them for the use of the brand, I think Virgin still directly controls the branded companies in other countries).
And I was referring to the usb stick modems and mifi plans. Does the single android phone they offer in the U.S. allow tethering out of the box?
Their 4g data is also unlimited at $60, I don't think they are subsidizing that with their voice systems (They are probably investing voice profits into that network, but they aren't building the 4g network for voice traffic...).
Sprint is offering unlimited data for about $40 a month (that's with their Virgin Mobile brand, which has somewhat limited coverage because it only works on Sprint towers, but it is for a computer hookup, not a phone), so in lots of places, AT&T would have trouble charging a huge amount more than that.
"You're missing the point." is a really obnoxious way of stating that we disagree.
I'm comfortable using a cloud service if I can get the substance of the data involved out of the cloud service. You apparently aren't, but it is likely that I will get quite a bit more utility out of any cloud services (while taking on much more risk of getting 'burned' in your view).
As others have pointed out, the expectations are not arbitrary (they are based on past performance and analysis of likely future performance) and the present price of the stock will tend to reflect those expectations, so when new information becomes available the price of the stock changes to reflect new expectations.
So the problem isn't that the market is disregarding the success, it is that they (apparently) had higher expectations of success. It's almost a word game, but the market isn't punishing the company for failure, they are revising their percieved value of the company based on new information. Anyone choosing to invest in stocks should bear such things in mind, it is reality.
I guess it does make the argument that you shouldn't trust cloud services, but they are offering you an easy way to get your data, which sort of changes things around a bit.
To be fair, Delicious has pretty much always had good data export. I think the only thing they don't really export is the date when you deleted a bookmark.
It isn't very convenient to use a password manager with multiple devices, but it isn't that big a deal to spread your managed passwords to several trusted devices, and anyone going to the trouble of a password manager probably isn't so worried about typing passwords into untrusted devices...

That's reality doing that, not those people.
Yeah, and then someone tattoos their cat with your barcode.
It's a trick. By running the investigation, they ensure that they never find out that the CIA did it.

Modern agricultural practice already produces sufficient calories for 8 billion people.
What the hell are you going on about?
I think he meant that people are used to 'not looking' and that it 'isn't done'.
Or something.
No, they say right in the terms that they won't rate limit you for high usage or such. The significant limitation is that it is for 'personal use':

Someone working full time at their small business and posting a profit of $50,000 is probably going to care an awful lot about growing it.
I think several sites can import from Delicious (but maybe not using the xml).
http://pinboard.in/ doesn't seem to be getting very many mentions here and will import from Delicious.
Is that your Yahoo! password?

There is a decent export built right into the site.

I'm a masochist and so can you!
There are lots of other examples of people being lazy-ass pussies; cars, snow-blowers, dishwashers, the list goes on and on.

OMG. I don't think your name is Ruby, so maybe cut back a little on those.
What is the security question answer you have stored in your password safe?
The nice thing about that one is that you can misread other questions to be asking that.

Yeah, Nerdlington P. Noogler is going to read through all your correspondence and reveal to all his friends that you are fond of Lol-cats. The horror.
