Hadron Collider Relaunch Delayed

SpuriousLogic writes "There's been another delay in the schedule announced for getting the Large Hadron Collider switched back on — now it's September 2009, a year after it shut down due to a malfunction. Scientists had said they expected the $5.4B machine to be repaired by November 2008, but then pushed the date back to June 2009, before the latest delay."

Just to clarify

This seems to be a case of a poor article summary, rather than an actual year old story somehow making it onto /.

TFA actually mentions no years, just "this year" and "last year".

It would seem that SpuriousLogic didn't actually say that. Not only is there no mention of years in his/her summary, but there are other minor differences. Slashdot editors: putting those little quotation marks around something and attributing it to someone else is fine, just so long as you don't change it.

The original submission:

SpuriousLogic writes
"The Large Hadron Collider could be switched back on in September a year after it shut down due to a malfunction and several months later than expected.
Scientists had said they expected the £3.6bn ($5.4bn) machine to be repaired by November, but then pushed the date back to June, before the latest delay."

So we can thank kdawson for fucking it up and attributing his/her errors to someone else.

Are you getting Star Trek: The Next Generation and Stargate SG-1 mixed up? The trials were by Q in the first and last episodes. de Lancie wasn't in SG1 that much...
