Not sure yet ... I have a spare 15" CRT I could use ...

Cup holders? Yea, or nay?

US gov't dumped over a billion dollars on it, never finished it, and sold it for $6million to some real estate investment firm that's lost their ass on it.

This is probably the first nail in the coffin of US supremacy on the sciences.

Depends on if the collider gives them what they want. If they get nothing out of it, we look pretty damn smart for cancelling ours.  ;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.

The computer that deals with the LHC data can play all current emulated 3827 arcade games on Grid-Mame at full speed simultaneously! They tried it during the holiday on a hundred 2560x1600pixel 30 inch screens with all games running 1to1 pixel mapping.

ChadTower:

That thing would do a hellacious version of the Tron cycles.
