The LHC Is Back Online
medea and several other readers noted that the LHC came back online early this morning. Here is the tweet from CERN announcing the milestone. As we discussed a few weeks ago, CERN plans to run the LHC at half power or less through 2011.
it was really screwing up gravity in canada, so cern was nice enough to demure to the ioc's request and shut off the lhc during the winter olympics
now canadians will have to get used to floating around again
on the plus side their compasses should work again
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Just in time for the end of the world.
Humour Bot: I said "super collider, but I just met her! And then they made a super collider. Thank you, you've been a great audience."
Announcer: "Humour Bot 510, ladies and gentlemen."
It's because 2012 is when they will have full power to create the black hole that will swallow us all up.
"He's lost in a 'floyd hole"
I was wondering why several places were having earthquakes. Damn you, mad scientists!
Life is hard, and the world is cruel
Actually it's half power or less. Which could mean "turned off".
Kind of like your thought processes when you decided to make your completely irrelevant and useless comment.

Gordon Freeman from CERN is there with his crowbar, in case of cascade.
Should have Toyota design this thing. It'd be super reliable, and when it isn't, it'd accelerate like a motherfucker, and that would be a good thing, right.
Fuck systemd. Fuck Redhat. Fuck Soylent, too. Wait, scratch the last one.
That means they can bring it up to full power in 2012. Anybody want to bet on 12/21/2012?
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
You must be new here.
I, for one, welcome our oblivious overlords!
In Soviet Russia, oblivious overlords welcome YOU!
Similar to the upcoming US election results
The collisions are at half speed, the results don't count for anything, but the press is invited to watch anyway.
Because they are half-wits.
No it's because they realized they only need 1.21 jiggawatts
If you mod me down the terrorists will have won

In Soviet Russia, YOU are moderated and found redundant.
CERN tells you, lub you long time if you give CERN more powerplants. CERN tweet you later. Gudbye.
What time zone and how about candler date diff? any ways if the cubs win it all then you need to look out.
Soon the future will switch it off ;)
If Google really cared they would fix Android Chrome to reflow text, instead of discriminating
And the Playstation Network is down. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
You have to state when and why. 5 bucks to enter. Winner gets pot.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.

Has anyone noticed that since the LHC entered active state, the number of magnitude 7.0 and above earthquakes has doubled (from ten to fourteen a year to two per month)? And that's particularly true in periods where the LHC has been working at high power (where ALL the 7.0+ earthquakes this year have occurred)? Maybe those pesky miniature black holes are not so harmelss after all. (and ducks for cover).
This site gives us a 78% chance of blowing up the earth. I'm totally going to eat that KFC now.
Now insert optional Biden version after this post.
From scarped cliff or quarried stone she cries "A thousand types are gone, I care for nothing, no not one."
Should I take it that baguettes are now persona non grata in the LHC cafeteria?

But... that's exactly what we're all afraid of!
If I mod you up, it doesn't necessarily mean I agree with what you've said, sorry.
