Cern successfully collides protons at 7TEV
SCIENTISTS AND TECHNICIANS at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) successfully beamed up its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) today after a glitch in the matrix.
Nuclear scientists were expecting to power up the world's most powerful particle accelerator to recreate conditions just after the big bang at about 13:00. The LHC's website said that the team intended to collide protons at 7TEV today. Subatomic particles whiz around CERN's 16.8 miles of track located beneath the French and Swizz border.
But, according to Reuters, as soon as the team was ready to power up, they experienced some minor technical problems. While it's always embarrassing when product demos go bad, Cern scienctists said the issues only briefly delayed the tests.
What were these issues? Fearmongers have already predicted that the LHC could create a black hole that swallows up the Earth. Or, maybe someone might wandered on to the tracks and we could have a new supervillian on our hands. Ion man anyone?
Fortunately for all concerned, the tests went off without a hitch. The team celebrated the highest ever recorded collision energies with Rolf Heuer, Cern director general, exclaiming, "It's a great day to be a particle physicist."
"The LHC has a real chance over the next two years of discovering supersymmetric particles, and possibly giving insights into the composition of about a quarter of the Universe," explained Heuer.
Physicists have assured the world that the LHC won't create a black hole, so you can enjoy the Cern tweets or tune in to the live webcast. µ

Mike, there are two kinds of personality. majority want to kill lover & then have SEX. Others want to have SEX & then kill Lover. Noone knows exactly why. perhaps latter is more aggressive.
GOD particle of french speak, uses both personalities, first to restrain, second to impersonate organsmic GOD, Spermee'.
Rest Is Lot of WhoDo. Small dent on target, is really round. Little graph lines are higher.
Back to Fermi. first tests show 480 doing 20,ooo 3D vantage in low res, 13,000 in medium & 9,000 3D Vantage in High Resolution Nothing There To Shout about.
Look at Disadvantages. Running 4X Faster than Main System & that will blow IT Out. Shirley, Suggestions: One, take all on board graphics drivers out, each partition deleted first. than add new power drivers, one partition at time. DON'T REINSALL DRIVERS OR BURN LITTLE FELLOW, slowly. by leaving in old driver, making software strip, errr, delete on install, strips more precious increase out, lower experience index.
for $500, wait till pci-e 3.0, shurely pci-2.0 won't work that good, In Faster Enviorment. so new Master Race Must be Develpoed, then whole shebangun just might be in revision,Long Enouugh, good enough for Super Fast SSD "C" drive. Cautiously prepare system by deleting ALL Graphics Drivers, insert new card-s, install new drivers, leave alone,Permanently & forever.Finally, Something to Write Home About.

...I was drowning a woman, I don't know why because she was a hottie. I think she was a babysitter.
Doesn't seem to have changed anything, well, other than that I used to speak german and now i can only speak english
"Just bang the rocks together guys"... ok this is banging them quite hard;-)
Well what a suprise, a multi billion dollar experiment that proves something they already knew, black holes aren't created by colliding protons, money well spent!
