Neutrinos Still Travel Faster Than Light In The La->

An anonymous reader writes "About 20 new neutrino events have been measured between the CERN and Gran Sasso labs since the start of the new, more fine-tuned experiment. The scientists have found that the neutrinos are still arriving earlier than expected.
"With the new type of beam produced by CERN's accelerators we've been able to measure with accuracy the time of flight of neutrinos one by one," commented Dario Autiero of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). "The 20 neutrinos we recorded provide comparable accuracy to the 15,000 on which our original measurement was based. In addition their analysis is simpler and less dependent on the measurement of the time structure of the proton pulses and its relation to the neutrinos' production mechanism.""

Indeed it does. A blind watchmaker, to be precise.

True, if they could send light down the same route, this would make sense. However, from the lab's website:
The average 1400 m rock coverage gives a reduction factor of one million in the cosmic ray flux...
So they'd have to dig through somewhere between 1.4 and 732 km of rock to do this, which probably makes this impractical.

As a Dutch reader, I can guarantee you that nobody in his right mind here minds the way DigiNotar's fiasco is handled. They deserve this, and worse. If you're basically selling trust, you'd better be trustworthy.
On the Mozilla Security Blog, the the reason why they handled this as they dit is explained very well:

Marijuana usage isn't 100% safe. It can cause or speed up the development of schizophrenia:

I still agree with you that it should be legalized. The war on drugs is a lost cause, and causes more problems than in solves. But making false claims doesn't help in this discussion.
Personally, I think marijuana should be treated like tobacco: just sell it legally, put a warning on it about the health hazards, and tax it to pay for the resulting medical costs.
