In english, if you add the prefix "post" to an adjective, it means that the subject belongs a class which occurred immediately after the class described by that adjective. For example "postmodern" describes architecture and artwork which originated in the era after the modern era. Postfeminist literature originated after the feminist movement. Postpartum depression occurs after a woman has given birth. A post script occurs after a body of text.
This is in contrast to the prefix "pre" which means that a subject belongs to a class occurring before the class described by the adjective. For example prenatal care happens before a baby is born. A premature event happened before it should have. A prefix is written before the word it is added to.
Glad I cold be of help.
Postscript: I'm pretty sure the local Grammar Nazi chapter wouldn't take you because you don't seem to know much about grammar.
This is probably also the reason the History Channel is so confused by the ability of prehistoric peoples to move very large rocks. It turns out, it is very difficult to build a wheel and axel that is strong enough to support thousands of tons. In modern times, that means that there is a huge incentive to use smaller rocks and fasten them together. For more primitive techniques, pulling more weight just means having more people to do the pulling.
Have you seen the list of instruments on MSL? It is pretty comprehensive. It even does isotopic analysis. Can you be more specific about what you can't do with an instrument sent to mars that you could do with a sample returned from there?
They spend almost twice as much per GDP as the US does on the military - 8.5% vs. 4.7%.
Yes, but the US does spend about 6% of GDP on various federal health care programs. When you consider that constitutes about 60% of overall healthcare spending in the US, you can see that the US spends about 10% of GDP on healthcare. On top of that, you can hardly say that what we have is not government health care. Worse still, not everyone is covered (myself included).
Why would you want to carry out a sample return mission? There's not a single analysis you could want to do on a sample which couldn't be more cheaply done by sending the lab to mars. That's why we're sending one there.
I suppose it might be a good precursor to an eventual human return mission.
The problem is that you can justify almost any abridgment of the first amendment using that line of reasoning. And a world without free speech would probably be a lot worse for your daughter in the end (though you may be unable to see that now).
Realistically, you are simply going to need to be aware of what's going on with her enough that you can tell if she develops an eating disorder. No amount of government regulation is going to relieve you of that responsibility.
The generally poor understanding of numbers on the part of others adversely affects my life as well. Not only to the extent that they make poor decisions for themselves, but from the way they make poor decisions on my behalf. Damn politicians.
Note that NASA's proposed budget for 2012 is $17 Billion and that represents a cut from 2011. You are also low for the cost of the US military, which weighed in at $684 Billion in 2010.
I know that this doesn't impact the point you were making, but if you're going to put down actual numbers you should try to make sure they are at least close to truthful.
I'm not sure if you're serious ou not, but both those things were not unusual in the US during the 19th century. Several of the founding fathers actually felt public currency was a threat to democracy, that's why there was not initially a central bank.
This is no different than handing $10 to a homeless guy so he can buy lunch, then finding out he's actually a millionaire who dressed like a homeless guy just to get a free lunch.
This is really nothing like that. Pro-view certainly wasn't trying to be charitable. It would be more like selling someone a hamburger for $5, then suing them when you found out they were a millionaire because you would have charged them $500. In that case, you would be the asshole. And you probably are, from the sounds of it.
Another problem is that it makes no sense to say that data doesn't "belong" to people who collect it. It clearly does, and there isn't really anything the government can do about it. If you wan't to keep something secret, keep it secret! It that so hard to understand?
What a lot of people don't realize is that health care and education are funded through taxes in the US as well. If your kid is under 18, and you can't afford health care for them, the state will provide it. The same goes for higher education. I'm not sure why so many people think it's any other way. Just looking at the budget that should be plainly obvious.
It's not hard to tell what kind of a person someone is if you really take the time to get to know them. The problem is that most people can't really look past the superficial things. A fashionable lady, with a pretty smile is all most people want. But is she interested in a cause, does she have an interesting hobby, or a career she's passionate about? That says a lot about a person, but most people ignore it entirely.
Then afterward they complain "she misled me." She didn't mislead you at all, you just didn't care to figure out what she wanted to begin with. Chances are she feels you misled her too. The reality is you are just walking around with you eyes closed.
This article doesn't present any findings, and it's pretty clear the FLA in being interviewed only meant to explain who they are and how they will be investigating the working conditions at Apple's suppliers. The thing about working conditions is just a sound bite, no doubt taken out of context, to draw readers to what is really a pretty boring article.
The poster greed to pay back the loan. This is precisely what (s)he should do.
Because that's what the banks do when they have unsustainable or undesirable loans? Wake up! You are being a tool if you think that you should play by rules your lender would never play by. It's all a game to them, and that's all it should be to you.
If you're going to play the game, play the game as it is played, not as you believe it ought to be played.
I'm not saying to be reckless, but I wish people wouldn't be paralyzed by fear either.
I hate it when people say "you can never be too careful." In reality, you can be and you probably are.
It's a fact that you don't need to own a house to raise a family. You also don't need to spend a whole lot of money to send you kid to college (realistically, you shouldn't send them to college right after high school anyway). If you have friends and family who are happy to take you in (and only if that's the case) it is OK to rely on them to help you through a transitional period in your life. And if you have kids, it's actually setting a great example for them because it teaches them not to fear change, how to share a living space, that there is more than one way to live, and that it's OK to ask for help when they need it.
All I'm saying is this: it's OK to be open minded about changing your living situation and "lowering" your "standard of living." A lot of people don't know that because they haven't really seen how other people in other living situations make it work.
To me the idea that you should just stick it out in a job you hate, when you want to change, is hopelessly depressing. That is exactly the opposite of what you should do. And what kind of example are you setting for your kids? You are basically teaching them they they should accept what they are given and never strive for anything better or know anything different. Is that really what you want for them?

You could put an electron microscope in a space probe. They're not that big. The trickey part would be sample preparation. But it certainly is doable.

Yes, as opposed to "real" money, which is different in some meaningfull way, I assure you!
Nice try.
Federally funded social programs (particularly Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid) comprise over half of the federal budget.
It sounds like some of his over entitlement may have rubbed off on to you as well.
At least you're honest about it. Probably won't help you when they come after you though.
This is really nothing like that. Pro-view certainly wasn't trying to be charitable.

What does that even mean? If I give it to you, you have it. That's the end of the story.

Changing your job/living situation is not going to ruin your kids lives. That's what I'm trying to say.
It's not hard to tell what kind of a person someone is if you really take the time to get to know them. The problem is that most people can't really look past the superficial things.

If the house is really worth it, the bank should be happy to take it back, right? If not, you got shafted and you really shouldn't put up with it.
This is nothing like your three examples. And there's nothing morally upstanding about demanding that people stick with their underwater mortgages.
