Ouch! Didnt realise it was that cold. Their electric bill must be massive to maintain that temperature :O

The thing itself cost over a billion to build and you're worried about the electricity bills? :p

I'm fascinated by all the problems that seem to beset the LHC, at some point you've just got to recognise a bad investment, not for a while yet hopefully but if it keeps on knackering itself...
 
Well, its kinda reached the point where they've spent so much money on it that they need to keep spending money, otherwise all the money they spent will have been wasted!

Like I say sometimes you simply have to recognise a bad investment, not doing so is foolish as in certain cases you can keep throwing money at something and never actually achieve what you set out to cf war on drugs. I don't think we are anywhere close to that point with the LHC yet and it was somewhat of a flippant comment but it is also a point I firmly believe in - in any walk of life if you don't know when to walk away you're in trouble.
