CERN's black hole cannon not working right for a other 2 years

One of your problems is that you think that your fables do describe reality.

John Fields trots out one of the - many - fables with which he comforts himself.

The difference is that I actually understand a fair bit of what I pick up and broadcast. This isn't a form of comprehension that you can either understand or share, so it would be difficult to for you to see the difference.

Wonderful. You eventually found out about the MC68Hc05 in 1994, and recognised its potential as a device for replacing a 555 when you actually wanted stable and predictable timing intervals.

How long did the customer have to hang you over a slow fire before he could persuade you that the 555 was inadequate?

Not before time. Every generation of accelerator has been roughly an order of magnitude more expensive than its predecessor. Eventually other approaches have got to become more cost-effective.

But there is still plenty of medium-sized physics around to soak up funding - gravity wave detectors and neutrino-telescopes come to mind.

You'd both like to think so, which is about as close to "right" as you ever get.

Education is no protection against the occasional typo.

I think the big breakthroughs are going to come at the level where QM meets the macroscopic.

If you think that I think they do, then knowing it's a fable should lead
you to the reality that you _don't_ know what you're talking about.

Nonsense.

Your raison d'être is to pretend to authority by parroting an
"authoritative" source with which you agree and then to defend your
proselytizing with invective.

Fermilab already has.

"Teething" is usually an uncomplicated process which requires a modicum
of attention and, on occasion, some coddling. 

The incident with the LHC wasn't so much like teething as it was like
having a high-speed spitball spall its way though your jaw from the
inside out, so your claim that English is your first language is belied
by your statement that:

"The joke is your claim that Large Hadron Collider isn't working right."

on two levels. 

The first is that, unless you're claiming that the failure was planned,
your statement is outrageously false, and the second is that "Large
Hadron Collider" should be preceded by "the".

Teething troubles cover a variety of difficulties that show up early in a project. Since you suffer from inadequate language comprehension, you may indeed find it difficult to generalise from the problems that parents experience with infant children to the problems that engineers erun into when commissioning new and complicated pieces of equipment, but linguistically competent adults don't usually find this particular genealisation to be beyond them.

If you had enough grasp of English to appreciate the fact that a claim that "the Large Hadron Colider isn't working right" applied to the present, rather than than the past, you might be in a position to quibble about typos.

You - on the other hand - can't find "authorative sources" to support the drivel you post, probably because you lack that kind of skill, although the fact that a fair bit of what you post is actually wrong would make it difficult even if you had mastered google.

As far as I know, everybody did. Until tolerably recently, it was more expensive than a 555 and a few discrete components, but if you did a little more with the microcontroller, you got better timing pretty much for free, and the extra cost of the switch (mostly a cheap MOSFET) that could sink a useful amount of current was less than the cost of a 555, and you saved some board space.

You seem to have been very slow to wake up to this.

Funny that you should mention that.

The customer must have had something to do with it - most of the gullible idiots who are silly enough to take advantage of your design skills can apparently be palmed off with the 555.

last remaining neuron,

Of course. Flying to Australia and back every year is even more reprehensible. But limiting our own consumption would make very little difference. Campaigning for renewable energy sources probably isn't going to make much difference either, but it is less inconvenient.

You need to tell Jan Panteltje about this - he seems to think that Exxon-Mobil only makes profits when the weather is cold.

The car's air-conditioning pretty much only gets used when driving to and from France during the warmer months of the year. It may make the world a slightly warmer place, but it does make the inside of the car appreciably more comfortable. In Nijmegen I mostly just open the window and rely on convective cooling, but that's not too practical at European motorway speeds.
