Sorry but I have to vent. First though THANK YOU to Einstein for this thread.
This lawsuit is sooo ridiculous. How can they even do that? I mean no offence to anyone but the folks who are "scared" of this cannot be scientists. The mass and energy levels involved are so miniscule. Sorry I can't even go on this makes me so angry that uneducated people who live in fear could cause so much trouble for the LHC. Get a grip folks, there is no danger to the earth or solarsystem etc whatsoever.
Ok, now that I got that out of my system.
I have been getting steadily more and more work currently my machines have been crunching LHC almost exclusively the last two days. It does appear we are getting credit but it isn't being exported to the stats sites.
It is strange about the site being "down for maintinence". I suspect it sadly may have to do with the stupid restraining order saying they can't "further prepare the LHC for operation for four months." But why then are we getting new work? Yes as near as I can figure it is new work.
A few folks from over at seti sent emails to Nessan over a week ago asking what was up and got no replies. This whole thing is so sad that a single person can stop the biggest science project in human history.
Well, I for one will keep LHC with my highest resource share and lets all hope for a positive outcome for all this.
Thanks again for this thread and please post anything anyone can find out.
It will incidentally be an excellent test of the credibility of the US legal system ..... probably a bell-weather for future projects. As someone is going to do these experiments regardless, then maybe the US civil research industry will ( join the long trail of other industries to... ) leave US shores. Should we anticipate a deal to pay them to go away?
A sign of the times .... alas.
Cheers, Mike.
Do you really want to put any faith in our legal system? I mean, really. . .
Our legal system. . .
. . .found O.J. innocent.
. . .made McDonalds pay millions of dollars to a woman because they didn't warn her that her coffee was hot, and she burned herself as a result.
. . .has put numerous doctors out of business due to junk science medical cases that have driven malpractice insurance premiums sky-high.
"Credibility" and "U.S. legal system" are two phrases that don't always belong together.
Re LHC:
lhc@home was somewhat slow giving new task, however tasks received yesterday. Possibly more functions and more tasks will be added to lhc@home after machine is active?(don't have any direct info)
Most of the computing for the LHC is done on the grid (the network of university/research lab sites), Significant resources are currently being devoted to getting the grid software for data taking prepared for the machine to turn on this coming fall.
RE: on other projects there
)
No, it doesn't ... thanks for thanks :-)
At worst I think you could say this thread ought belong in the science forum, but I'm feeling too lazy to move it today ..... :-)
Cheers, Mike.

I'm glad you said what I was thinking :-)

It could be that they are

It could be that they are busy with Gridpp.
But saying that there is no reason for not informing people whats going on.
The LHC website is back!

The LHC website is back! There's a statement there about what happened..
Halleluah!!!
