Perhaps I'm in left field, or rather not even in the ball park, but gravity is the least strong of the four forces classified according to Hawking [gravity, electromagnetic, weak nuclear, and strong nuclear].
He asserts that, because electromagnetic forces usually offset [positive and negative charges], and because large bodies usually have a large amount, they generally cancel each other out. In this case, they might not cancel. Also, only in large bodies do gravitational forces predominate. In speaking of the so-called grand unified theory, he seems to suggest that higher energies produce stronger electromagnetic forces. [Brief History of Time (1998), p. 76]
However, the disclaimer is that a particle accelerator large enough to test these theories isn't likely to exist anytime soon. Perhaps these folks have found a new way to develop some tests? My disclaimer, IANAQP.
but I like to cruise, and had to reply. I was 'laid off' from an international mfg firm about 2 years ago. Enjoyed the process of looking for about two months, then got bothered by the spouse. Kept the spouse [barely] but didn't get closer to a job. Spouse may have been a factor; dunno. After quitting some part-time stuff after dissatisfaction on my part, I had to quit another when my Dad fell; hit his head, ended up on Hospice care, with me as his primary caregiver. This has kinda altered my life.
I would ask myself what I want to do every day; I want to be my own boss, but don't want the headache of a business. So be sure you have a valid exit strategy before quitting a paying gig. Also consider social aspects; my social circle is dramatically altered now - only one client, little interaction except nurses [cool, huh? not really...], and a resume that died on the vine. I'm doing preps for GRE to try to be productive and not waste away entirely.
One of the posts mentioned your health. Think about your healthcare options. Poor bastards who work for themselves [in the US] pay twice into FICA; more if they have employees. And then, are you going to see it?
Finally, personaly satisfaction is important, but much can be said for the tradeoff that the security of a salary brings. Good luck to you in your quest.
It just makes me mad that I try hard to recycle/reuse stuff, going so far as to pull stuff from the curb; yet they feel justified in wasting a perfectly serviceable [and most beneficial, thus far] deep space 'scope.
Should I not even bother to recycle anymore? What's the point?

So it just seems to me that the agencies 'Peter' who borrowed from 'Paul' shall be required to take out the notes to pay back SSA, and that should be encoded in legislation so that the next budget is easier to define. IANAEconomist, but as long as these debts are held accountable to their debtors [as they are in the private sector], SSA should be in good shape, no?
Given the quality of some journalistic efforts of late, I'd think one could easily make the case that news product could only be copyrighted for the minimal term, say ten years. Anything highly original [like op-ed pieces] could go longer, especially as the researcher is more likely to be interested in the news; if opinion mattered much to the researcher, let 'em pay a subscription to a service, a la NY Times.
How about getting an email from someone, telling you they got a fax, but before you can respond, here they come, walking over to your desk to tell you they sent you an email...
First, great sig! Second, there used to be an oil company that traded by the name Sinclair; their logo was a big green dinosaur, a Brontosaurus-type. Sick, or what?
Besides the reliance on hi-tech solutions, the fact is the higher-ups don't seem to realize the _need_ to share the data. Seems odd at first, but if they see it on their screen, maybe they assumed it always is available to others. We all know that isn't the case. It depends on lots of factors, but in the KISS* school, your backup plan should invole feedback.
Usually the tech may be relied on, but the operator error is the weak point.

Keep in mind the limitations of juman-actuated interfaces, as some seniors or other patients who suffer a stroke may be unable to deliver the needed input.
In addition to what was said in the article about Pause/Break, pressing it _during_ a dir or other scrolling text operation will halt the screen. (This includes during booting before the OS loads.) Press any key to continue.
...used to be a Xerox product, then Corel ran it in the ground. I hope the new owners will appreciate the tendency to go with the simple things that work, and place more emphasis on the quality of long document, SGML-compliant publishing package that Ventura was in 1991.

Are you familiar with the Britcom, Last of the Summer Wine? [http://www.summer-wine.com/] The longest-running active sitcom in history, I believe, started just after the launch of Pioneer 10.

Okay, what then is the Republican position on corporate welfare?

Probably an uncontrolled descent into _this_ planet.
We in the US have these in abundance. They are called conservative Republicans, and they have one of their own installed as Emporer.

Does this mean my cell phone could get /.ed now?
So, where is the 'any' key?

Sorry for the sloppy reporting; posted in a followup the citation.
Not in the H-L at all [Doh]. Try the Kernel for details. Prof. Hank Dietz was hired away from Purdue via the "Bucks for Brains" program at UK.

It is still going, as well. Check it out, on PBS.
Maybe they lost the weapon while digging in their shirt pockets for the bullet...
