Event Horizon: CERN mega-collider coming to life

This was originally scheduled for May, but after some delays the CERN Large Hadron Collider, which some believe will create a black hole that will swallow the Earth (beginning with France), has been put through its paces on its first test runs. According to the latest reports, launch is now set for Sept. 10. As a great man once said, “hang on to your butts.”

Personally, though, I’m a little more concerned today with reports that an upgrade to the U.S. terrorism database is not going well. But perhaps we’ve gotten to the bottom of why so many random people are on the No-Fly List. Ain’t technology grand?

In case you need a bit of cheering up after those things, the Brocade boat is apparently still going strong. So that’s some good news.
