    You've clearly never been to a football game. (Soccer for you Yanks)

    7 000 000 000 000 electron volts = 1.12152352 × 10E-6 joules

    The beam itself isn't too bad, most of the energy costs are for cooling etc. for the electromagnets

    Which is the definition of Purchasing Power Parity

  5. Re:Liar on Wikipedia Disputes Editor Exodus Claims · · Score: 2, Funny

    If someone starts off saying "it ain't so" by listing half a dozen facts that have nothing to do with the question, he's either terribly stupid, or trying to pull a fast one on you. It's called misdirection and confusion. Yes, it's actually a named trick in the arsenal of con artists.

    So much for that.

    It ain't so!

    1.Wikipedia has 14.4 million articles
    2..The “black box” on an airplane is actually blaze orange so that it can be found easier among the wreckage if the plane were to crash.
    3.Creedence Clearwater Revival had seven songs hit #2 on the pop singles chart, but never scored a number one hit.
    4.Cockroaches can live up to two weeks without a head because their brain is located throughout their body.
    5.Beowulf is the longest Old English manuscript in existence. It contains about a tenth of all known Anglo-Saxon poetry.
    6.Wikipedia is the 5th most visited sit in the world.

    So there, why can't you understand that's why you're wrong!

    Every person in the united states with one of your computers, running your advertisements sounds like a pretty sweet deal regardless of the cost.

  10. Re:There's a nice formula to show the world won't on LHC Has First Collisions After Years of Waiting · · Score: 1

    Yes but they aren't high energy collisions.

    Thats not the point the world won't end unless the Pee concentration rises above 90%

  11. Re:I don't blame them on Apple Voiding Smokers' Warranties? · · Score: 1

    Does the word hyperbole mean anything to you?

  18. My physics teacher however... on Bing Gains 10% Marketshare · · Score: 1

    Might be more representative of how people actually use Bing. On numerous occasions since it made itself the default search provider he has to the amusement of myself and others used it to Bing for Google, then Google for Wikipedia, finally he uses wikipedia search.

    I honestly can't think of a more roundabout way of doing this but It's like he's programme to always run through Google.
