They tried it during the holiday on a hundred 2560x1600pixel 30 inch screens with all games running 1to1 pixel mapping.

Finally! News of tax dollars put to good use.

All this scientific knowledge and we still cant make hot robotic chicks like in Weird Science... ;D

Exactly. Just proving The higgs boson is considered a huge failure for the collider. If that is all they get out of it, then they wasted their time.

where do you get that from shardian , i watched a documentary on it last night, in which all the main people explained that no findings are as valid as findings, this is the only way to prove or disprove theories. the physicists are excited either way, theres no information coming out of it that us mere mortals will understand.


and just so all you US guys know , the US is involved with the programme so you can go back to supporting it now, not hoping it will fail because its based in europe.

I don't think anyone was bashing it because it was built in Europe. He was simply just stating that it seems like an end of an era for the US scientific community.

shardian:
It was in an article that summarized the planned experiments. I can't remember where I read it at.
