There's always the option of not putting sensitive information out there for the world to see on Facebook, and there is always DON'T USE THE SAME PASSWORD FOR SOCIAL NETWORKING AS IMPORTANT LOGINS. But hey that is too simple, I think I'll just give Facebook another piece of information about me that can be exploited...

Wasn't there a time when these "old books" were new technology? His argument is irrelevant because people of faith will always adapt to the "new" technologies of the world. On a side note, wonder when the pope is getting a twitter account.

That's because the legal system is created by dumb lawyers... err politicians.

That's hilarious. About the gayus in the military, the media over hypes it. I'm in the military for going on 12 years now and I've known several gays. Nobody really cares except for the people that are arrogant and probably inbred. Sorry went off topic for a minute.

They should think about into north dakota too. I mean let's face it it's cold as sh!@ there as well and that whole state could use some jobs.

I'm tired of hearing about electric/hybrid vehicles. Give me something that goes the same distance of a tank of gas, reduce the price of these machines, and then give me a call.

Colliding Particles Can Make Black Holes After All 269

Posted by Soulskill on Sunday January 24, 2010 @01:56PM from the act-now-while-supplies-last dept.

cremeglace writes with this excerpt from ScienceNOW: "You've heard the controversy. Particle physicists predict the world's new highest-energy atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, might create tiny black holes, which they say would be a fantastic discovery. Some doomsayers fear those black holes might gobble up the Earth — physicists say that's impossible — and have petitioned the United Nations to stop the $5.5 billion LHC. Curiously, though, nobody had ever shown that the prevailing theory of gravity, Einstein's theory of general relativity, actually predicts that a black hole can be made this way. Now a computer model shows conclusively for the first time that a particle collision really can make a black hole." That said, they estimate the required energy for creating a black hole this way to be roughly "a quintillion times higher than the LHC's maximum"; though if one of the theories requiring compact extra dimensions is true, the energy could be lower.
