Comment Why not run the experiment? (Score 1) 478

What I don't understand is, why not run the "card" experiment? Commit to shutting down (or delayng for 30 yeas) the LHC if three one-in-a-million consecutive dice-throws turn negative. That would beat wasting so much money on a failed experiment. The chance of "false positives" would be negligibly small.

Comment For those who want to DISABLE ipv6 (Score 1) 241

And for the majority of users, for whom ipv6 is at best useless and at worst an annoyance, blacklist the ipv6 module. E.g. in Debian / Ubuntu add the line

blacklist ipv6

to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

While you're at it, you might also want to blacklist pcspkr (get rid of annoying console beeps), lp, parport and parport_pc (parallel port printer) and joydev (unless you have a joystick of course).
