Free Fall and Zero Gravity are different things.
The Moon is in a Free Fall situation compared to Earth. Earth keeps the Moon orbiting thanks to its gravity field.
Zero Gravity would mean no gravity at all. Another way to say it would mean that the nearest object is infinitely away. If Hawking is in a Zero Gravity situation, then the vessel he's inside will have to burn a lot of fuel so it can orbit Earth, or else he would slingshot into infinity.
To prove my point read these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtons_law and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall
1. An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by another force.
Well, the Moon is in orbit around Earth, right? So there is a force acting, else it would not be around us.
2. Free fall in its strictest sense is the condition of acceleration which is due only to gravity. In other words, the objects undergoing free fall experience only one force: their own weight.
Examples include:
a spacecraft with its rockets off;
the Moon's trajectory around the Earth, the Earth's orbit around the Sun, or an asteroid's orbit around the Sun;
on Earth, falling through a vacuum tube or shaft.
As of now I'm not using Flash anymore.
I didn't care much about it since I have lots of anti-spam methods, but since Flash can now be used almost the same way as cookies for tracking reasons, no thanks.
Hi people.
I downloaded and installed OpenOffice 1.0 English Version and I can't get my abnt2 keyboard to work.
The only character that works is "ç".
Characters that use accents like "à", "à", "ã", "â" and "ü" don't work. I also can't use "
When I press the accent keys I don't get any response, and I've setup OpenOffice to use the Brazilian pt-br language.
Wierd thing is that StarOffice 5.2 English Version works fine with my keyboard, and never gave me any problems.
Most of my aplications work with my keyboard, so I don't think it is a wrong keyboard configuration.
What to do?

It would be usable if Impress was working for new documents.
Cannot select Presentation from the "Start Center" neither from "File -> New"
*Sigh*

Zero Gravity? Are you sure?
Then please explain how the Moon orbits Earth. Which force keeps the Moon in orbit?
Compass.
Shouldn't they have done that from the start?
Or did they expect someone to find about this hidden feature, enable it and generate the noise?

The preemptive kernel if it is as good as it seems can only bring benefits to the linux community.
