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."
It was only on a few days, and already they've achieved time travel.
November 2007 was a bit optimistic, but september 2008 is still a really fast fix!
September 2008? Its 2009 you fucking idiots.
No, the Large Hadron Collider already provoke a Time-Space anomaly.
Mark my words, 2009 will be the year of atleast one prophecy!
With an attitude like that, we'd still be using coal to heat our homes. Seriously, the money's already been spent, the staff is already on the payroll. The annual operating costs are a fraction of the construction costs. This being Slashdot, let's use a car analogy - you just bought a brand new Lexus for some serious, serious coin, but on the way home, you got a flat tire. Are you really not going to fix it in the interest of "saving money"?

I'm really slipping, I wrote 1908 on a check today, instead of 1909.

"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.
This one made me laugh. Honestly.
Listen pal, it ain't as easy as you would think to do things as they are done here. You people keep whining about us not reviewing the submissions before they come in, and so we finally get around to doing it, and you troll about it. So what if it took five months to review the submission? That's a LOT better than not reviewing it at all, right?
Sheesh!
