Zim is also nice for me in supporting LaTeX equations (via a plugin) and being written in Python, I've made a couple of custom tweeks.
I actually worked at a startup from about 2007-2009 that was designing particle accelerators for another company pursuing what appears to be the exact same technology (possibly some of the same people).

No idea what came of the project. Very high current ion accelerators in the +1 MeV range is quite the trick without a huge budget. Our company was full of people from Los Alamos. We were actually focusing on a different application that needed higher output.
There is a quite sizeable commercial accelerator market for medical, industrial imaging, and radiation sterilization use (and of course various "homeland security uses".
I spent a year in Berlin then came back to the US. Good luck finding a street style dönner in the US.
This caught me bad once. I wish it were on the page linked in the post (and others like it).
I think you really want to encrypt your email for that kind of peace of mind. Of course you need buy in from your contacts.
Willingness to compete with each other and huge endowments?
Also, off topic, I never got the email I signed up for about the release of your new book. Did you ever send those?
More days of = more bonus, fewer days off = more bonus, or you always get the same bonus?
Linux runs more servers, more phones, and more embedded devices (set top boxes, routers, GPS's, etc). OS X is limited to Apple products, which, while popular, are not nearly as pervasive.
But I agree that this is not a good solution to the bigger problem.
Not to play the doubter, but I remember when Hertzfeld was slated to be the savior of Linux back in 2000/2001 (god I feel old!). His company, Eazel, did produce the file manager Nautilus, but then promptly went out of business.

The reason for this is primarily that there are simply not enough jobs right now for them in academia.
When I was an idealistic undergrad physics major I honestly never once thought about the job market. I assumed that you'd just go get your PhD and you'd become a physics professor, sort of like going to med school and getting a job as a doctor. You'd follow all of the steps and you'd be set...
Now being on the verge of finishing my PhD, I have a very different perspective and am fortunately in a decent position with employment options. Some of my friends are only now scrambling to make sense of their options.
What people eventually realized was that cancer is the result of genetic mutations and there are many potential causes of the mutations, viruses being one of them. E.g. HPV can lead to cervical, anal, throat cancer, etc.
An interesting book. The books feels a little bit narrowly focused on medical oncology, but the author is a medical oncologist, so you'd expect that.
