Wow, I'm not a physicist so maybe my ignorance is shining here, but, doesn't it take an s-load of mass to create a black hole? It's fine to theorize about possible scenarios for forming a black hole, but the in reality, it probably takes more mass than exists in our solar system (i.e, giant stars collapsing). Where is this mass hiding in the collider?
I agree there are reliability problems with ATA. We expect ATA disk failures within the first year for all of our ATA RAID systems and have yet to be disappointed. ATA drives just don't seem to be able to handle the pounding they get in a RAID configuration. We still use them, however, mirroring the ATA RAID with another server/disk installation as a backup. Of course, that doubles the cost of the ATA solution, but, it's still cheaper than a SCSI solution.

Will the bank will also keep 2.5% per transaction like in the real world?
