    This makes me happy. The caption says "The sign at top warns of the presence of helium, argon and/or nitrogen in nearby pipes - gases that (if they leaked out) could displace oxygen and cause unconsciousness. "

    For me, impressive and reliable go hand in hand. Without one, the other can't exist. Therefore, the LHC is neither.

    @Duckspwn: If you are not impressed by the unimaginable complexity of this machine, they should fucking take your star away.

    In a system this large, the statistical probability of initial failure is almost 1. They expected it to break, and now it's fixed again. It will probably break again, and they'll eep fixing it until it works.

    @Duckspwn: How is that trolling? You're commenting on a gadget website devoted to cutting edge technology, just about none of which works reliably because it's first generation. Your viewpoint is techno-phobic to the point of absurdity - pointing out the obvious is not trolling.

    By the way- when I masturbate, it works every time. Impressed yet?

    @m4ximusprim3: "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response..."
    You (along with others) seem to have taken my own opinion as a personal insult. Therefore, I just unintentionally trolled.

    I hope they have some big doors there that lock tight, to hold all the aliens in there.

    But, the vortigons (sp?), can actually be useful and go into the medical industry. Since they revived Alyx after her enounter with the hunter. #cernhalflife

    Not before my birthday I'm not! Nov 18 - Oh yes, I'm a Scorpio. I'm such a selfish bastard that all I can think about is my gifts, which ammount to zero.
