The original poster nowhere seriously advocated experimenting on humans, but used the idea to try and get it through people's skulls that to do such experiments on animals who have hearts, lungs, brains, pain receptors and so many things that we have (why bother otherwise?) is as immoral as doing it to people. At least you realise that the latter is wrong.
Some prices are too high to pay for research. The Nazi's "experiments" on humans were one. Our "experiments" on animals are no better.
The BBC news site has a link to a streamed audio report on the Higgs particle. It may or may not be useful or interesting. I can't really tell you as I don't have a sound card. But it's linked to from their sci/tech news page.
Ah yes, I didn't really think about the fact the story only mentioned porting their unix compilers. They do produce a very good Fortan compiler for Intel, though (Compaq Visual Fortran), but that only runs under Windows...

I know that Compaq are porting their f90 and c++ compilers to Linux/Alpha, but are they planning to do the same for Linux/Intel?
