By judging the rest of his post on its merit. ("while (*src++ = *dst++) ;" is also missing an "=").
Depending on the languages you are currently using stuff like this happens and the rest is correct (as far as I can tell)
or sounds at least plausible.

How can you say that. This is a concise and insightful analysis
of the history of
the art and practice of the grandest of all
skills from its birth to its current sad state. It is also a great example of another greatly admired skill of using many words to
hide lack of content. The author lays bare
is deepest feeling and
the innermost workings of his brain (image used without permission from the

applaud the author for his efforts and the powers that be at /. for selecting this article as one being worthy for the attention of
not just a few of us but everyone.

for one thing the increased luminosity

What do they get from building this machine that they wouldn't from another one?

increased luminosity, jobs, data to publish

I know this one is bigger... Does that mean more resolution?

just bigger, the particles are more tired when they hit each other so the collapse more easily,
as we all know collapsing particles means more *science*

Was the extra resolution necessary?

yes, probably, perhaps, uhh ...
