    All he had to do was hide out in the hills of Pakistan. Nobody's looking there.

    Meh. I think the project was designed for him to be caught.

    Credit cards have been an obvious no no since, like what, Pelican Brief? lol

    If you can pay cash and not be a total idiot with internet usage, disappearing isn't a problem.

    When the guy said "Fluke" he should have hissed "treadstone!" and then went all Jason Bourne on him.

    Wouldn't it be a real kick in the pants if they did all this work, went through all this effort, only to find nothing at all..

    @Jrsy Devil's Advocate®: But finding nothing would be significant in itself. We'd have to go and revise or develope new theories.

    Great read, but he built his own coffin by using social networking, and pounded the last nail by not using Tor at the end.

    This could be done, and he would have pulled it off if he hadn't been so attached to tracking what the team was doing.

    I dont get it....

    He purposely left a bread crumb trail. Hell, unless Gizmodo was on it, all I do on the internet is check my email and check Gizmodo. I know Google wouldn't give out my IP and I hope Gizmodo wouldn't.

    Well, given that we now live in "The Information Age," I'd think that anything that CAN be known/shared eventually WILL be known/shared.

    In reply to Camangi WebStation: 7 Inches of Android Tablet for $400
    Let's just say I'll be keeping my eyes on this one. Almost exactly the device I have been describing any time a tablet discussion comes up. This seems like a class of device that could provide a better video and browsing experience than a cell phone, and be more convenient than a netbook.

    Perfect size. It doesn't get in the way on the nightstand, or the coffee table. Could probably still fit it in the larger pockets of some of my clothing. And, it seems like it'd be a great size for watching videos on a plane.

    Please, keep updating us on this.

    In reply to OK, Now I'm Nervous About the Large Hadron Collider
    It's a complex machine made up of many different parts, all designed to work together, but only integrated last year. Each of those parts will conform to its specifications (within a certain margin), but you never know how everything is going to work together until you build it and try it. You can model and predict and design all you want, but no model is perfect... that's why we use healthy margins of safety. So yeah, I imagine they do have a much better feel for the machine now than they did then.

    That's not to say the understanding of the physics has changed. The likelihood of the machine producing a blackhole which kills us all is still just as likely as the spontaneous transformation of every southpaw into a giant man-eating, airbreathing tunafish.

    Still, I find the idea that the Higgs boson cannot exist free, and thus the LHC can never function properly, fascinating. It's not as outlandish as many thing.

    Yeah, they now understand that French bread is its equivalent of kryptonite for Superman, or Limburger cheese for Mighty Mouse.

    "Yeah, we don't really even know what we are doing here... we just welded a bunch of shiny shit together to make a rough circle of tubes underground. And then fired like, particles and stuff through it. It was awesome dude."
