Recently a foundation known as CERN has been working on a Hadron Collider. On one of the foundation's promotional videos about the Hadron Collider it describes what is required to store the data created by the Collider. It requires, "a web of cooperative computing called, 'The Grid.' The Grid will allow thousands of research centers and universities to share their data storage resources and computing power transforming the Internet into a giant global supercomputer and building capacity for the science of tomorrow."

The video is here:

What I mentioned starts at 2:48



So... Just how far away is Sky-Net? :uhoh


AL GORE LIED!!!!  CERN invented the internet!

Fester is Skynet     :noid
Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".
