Re: Well, DAMN!! LHC hit a big snag...
No matter what happens in the core of the LHC, it will not alter the Earth's ability to support life - human or otherwise.
Will. Not. Now, that doesn't mean that discoveries made in the LHC could ultimately lead to new and better ways to build machines or devices which could. No one, back in the late 19-teens, could have possibly imagined that the simple equation E=MC2 would lead to the nearly utter devastation of two Japanese cities and put the entire human population on the verge of extinction for 50 years. The understanding of the relationship between matter and energy has, however, helped humanity to answer some pretty puzzling questions which had been pondered for centuries. It's not the machine; it's what we do with what we learn from operating it which is potentially devastating. Just as it always has been, Humanity's fate is in our own hands.

Re: Well, DAMN!! LHC hit a big snag...
The security at LHC was not up to par.
![]() TRANSLATION: At this time an experiment attempt is being performed in CERN. The reason we chose this page is to remind you of some things. It [the deface] did not happen due to a conflict between us and CERN’s system administration team but because of the expected increase in number of visitors in the page in the next few days. Some data from the base: [...a c/p of the process listing follows...] and some e-mails: [...a c/p of e-mails follows...] The ** have simply been placed so that we don’t expose people who has done nothing to anger us. As we stated in the preamble, we do not want to destroy either the [operating] system or the website… Our purpose is to show, through action, our reaction to a lot of “active” members of the GHS [Greek Hacking Scene] which has become arrogant (litteral translation of the phrase “šαβαλήƒει „ο καλάμι”, riding the stick) without offering anything… Stupid cliques get created simply to insult and cause trouble (translated from “„ραμ€ούκο‚”, insulting troublemaker, “„ραμ€ο…κί扔, cause insult & trouble) through either words or IRC channel banning people who are not considered, by them or their flunkies, worthy of their knowlege and their image. Some others, the 1337 (leet, elite) of the “scene”, only chat over cups of coffee and don’t do anything practical, as they are good at gossiping…but of “security”…what is that? we are 2600…don’t mess with us. IRRELEVANT AND QUAINT! Stop salivating and licking and start keyboarding! But, of course, criticising is easy especially when you have many 20year-olds around whispering “2600€-”2600€. Get yourselves in insomnia.gr and start gossiping (litteral translation of “θάβε„ε με μεγάλο †„…άρι”, burrying people through gossiping with a big shovel)…But it will also bear the seal of GST. We are everywhere…because unlike you we don’t spend our nights writing songs or “rapping” away in public squares…nor do we laugh at what we cannot touch… We don’t publicly expose you (translated from “ξεβρακŽνο…με”, pulling your underpants down, Greek expression) because we don’t want to see you all running like mad and naked trying to find a hiding place and because we are not like you. You should, however, expect the response when you were laughing at things you had never considered doing…but we have spent enough time dealing with a bunch of schoolkids who learned about hacking through Hollywood movies and their dumb American culture of the neo-geek who reads hacking magazines while trying to crack his girlfriend’s e-mail account to see if she’s being unfaithful and has Linux on dual-boot to pose (translated from “ˆαρŽνει”, Greek expression) to his mates who also read neo-hacking mania-inspired magazines. The entire Greek Internet is riddled with holes…some of the biggest government sites don’t even know the term “security”…since they assign the design of their sites to irrelevant companies. SECURITY IS NOT CONDUCTED BY PAY-OFFS. We are everywhere… We salute the real hobbyists and the fanciers of the art of computers. Some old ones who stopped because they were bored and tired not with this art but with the stuck-up attitude (translated from “κŒμ€λεξ”) of all those “specialists” in the field!! And the young ones who don’t say many words but work with their heads down because what they care about is knowledge, and only knowledge!! Dear CERN admins we patched the biggest BUG in your webpage so it doesn’t turn into a Dork and gets defaced every day with the silliness of every wannabe hacker. Don’t try to find us…We will find you…pretty soon!!! Tnx Mr Server [lxplus.cern.ch] _Greek Security Team_ - [.GST]

Re: Well, DAMN!! LHC hit a big snag...
It is scheduled to be operational again around the middle of next month. Higgs boson anyone?
On a related note, the Tevatron Hadron Collider will be shutting down next year, assuming that all goes well with the LHC.

Re: Well, DAMN!! LHC hit a big snag...
lol: 4 years behind schedule and $2.08 billion over budget. And still counting.
By the time the CERN particle collider is up and running someone else will have a benchtop laser that makes streams of antimatter. Oh wait, they already have: https://newsline.llnl.gov/_rev02/art...antimatter.php A better approach than "lets give these physicists access to a huge amount of money" would have been to make a series of X-Prize type contests to make a smaller particle accelerator. Over the course of 15 years the program could have developed a well-engineered package that would've cost less than 4 billion dollars and might have actually worked... |

Step aside, Tevatron
The big boy is up and running again!
