Again, this has nothing to do with hacking and cracking. Anyone with a dialup account could potentially do it.
Also as for your internet addiction enough to spend your entire salary, I hope you fed your family in the process.
even Turkey has started to make some strides towards population level internet connectivity

I still find hard to believe all this hacking is actually going on and making it through. I personally believe it's all talk from these blogs and sites, possibly coming from people that "fear" the LHC.
If the LHC does explode (unlikely), we'll know who to blame, not the scientists, but the retards trying to hack it...if it's all true that is.

As for the Collision Experiments, you are dead on about any "accidents". If some outside force, such as a grouping of cyber-terrorists or just naive hackers/crackers, manages the highly unlikely task of fully hijacking control of the LHC, we could be faced with an absolute catastrophe. All we need is for some clown to grab control of an experiment while in progress, and there could be some serious issues.

Oh God... Pray tell just what kind of issues can happen? What's more, what would be the "absolute catastrophe"???
I'm a little tired of posts that are thin on substance and thick on sensation.

being that Cern pretty much invented the internet, i doubt they have sensitive material that is vulnerable to hackers. i wonder what the purpose of hacking them would be...

If CERN was really hacked are we setting ourselves up for failure?
Yes, only a movie but the theory is real.
Does HAL 9000 ring any bells?
hal 9000
We are a boat load more capable know and Technology has improved 100 fold. Who knows?

Correct!
There is probably a whole list of protocols they have to employ before the actual start up is accomplished. Much of these are more than likely human tasks that if not done in the correct sequence and succession will result in nothing happening at all. I couldn’t agree more with that. The only thing is hackers did succeeded in breeching CERN IT security. The question this raises to me is, what else did CERN overlook. Something as important as IT security is a major oversight don’t you think! We are not talking about a microwave oven, We are on the verge of a new era with this.
Not the time to get a case of cranial flatulence that’s all.!
