The FBI and Secret Service STILL have not named anyone as a suspect. But Republicans and other hacks don't need that to determine guilt. They just go on gut feelings. # 10 Paddy-O

I'm not trying to bash the US. This is bleeding edge technology. Furthermore, CERN was running a lower-energy version of the LHC for years on the exact same spot without any trouble. To blame the Swiss for all the problems while heralding the US's superiority is simply ignorant and chauvinistic.

So why cant they track down serious online scammers?" Well, the person who "hacked" Palin's email account wasn't a "serious" hacker. So, the question is not really relevant. "Serious" scammers aren't that stupid or inept. “Palin hacker found by FBI. So why cant they track down serious online scammers?”

It's a huge project, with lots of technology premieres. It's no surprise that there can be some minor (compared to the project's size)technical problems when they start it! And BTW, it's NOT a swiss project! It's a Pan-European project ( CERN: Europen Center for Nuclear Research), the LHC is half in Switzerland, half in France, there are member countries from all europe, plus "observator" countries ( including the US), plus many other countries counducting experiments ( in total, 580 scientific labs, from 85 countries). Do you really think the US is the only country capable of conducting state-of-the-art, fondamental research ? What’s wrong with you and the LHC ?

Spend 12 Bn a month on Iraq and 85 Bn to save financial institutions. And nothing on Science, Housing, Basic Healthcare, Education. Say John, I fail to see the "Socialist" State of America (that's a NoAgenda reference). For me it's just Unregulated Capitalism gone awry bailed out by tax payers money. Incidentally, money the tax payers don't really have, because they live in a Debt Bubble. Someday the Chinese will burst it. Thinking of which, maybe that's why the Government spends so much on the military complex in the first time... Meanwhile, if you're not in the ranks of some corporation and have a Liberal profession, you keep dieing with from basic diseases and conditions, just because you can't afford Insurance. Or join the Military. Ok. Yeah! Spend 12 Bn a month on Iraq and 85 Bn to save financial institutions. And nothing on Science, Housing, Basic Healthcare, Education.

These are the size of a small house and cost millions. I happen to know that, to save money, they bypassed full load testing to get quick delivery. One already blew out. More to follow, probably. No, I can't tell you my source. The Large Hadron Collider bought a large number of electrical step-down transformers. These are the size of a small house and cost millions.
