whats that?

Of course they use linux, imagine, ok guys lets start the test, get ready to collide some shit and it some thing were to fail wed be fucked, O NOEZ ITS THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!

It's more of a long term hardware use thing.

well i realize that, but im saying for future reference. I deal with this thing all the time at work.

You also don't believe in fiscal rape.

That's a very good term! I shall use that the next time I have to talk to Telus about our cell phone contracts.

They could still share information with other scientists. But they don't need the main computers hooked up to the internet. It's called external HDs or thumb drives.

Ahhhhhh but its not instantaneous and that's what scientists like. Plus it would take too long to send out the external HDs and thumb drives. It would also be crazy expensive.

I personally like being able to look at my data without having to carry it around with me. Hurray for tail -20 log.txt :10

I should also point out that we're not talking small amounts of data when it comes to particle colliders. We're talking terabytes accumulating at a very fast rate once things really kick into motion.

...terabytes of info about a black hole caused by hackers. take out the hardline pls, so we all don't die from an e-terrorist attack.

You think I'm joking about how much raw data is produced? The particle collider at Fermi labs produces that much, and it is smaller. Oh, and you're right, dying from an LHC generated black-hole is a probability...uh huh...completely right.

Do some research --- This from CSC

it has been estimated that the particle tests will generate approximately 15 petabytes (15 million gigabytes) of measuring data. This amount of data will be decentralized by utilizing data networks into several computation centers all around the world.

Computation drills took place in Cern in February and in May before the start-up of the particle collider. One of the drills was the CSA08 drill, which simulated recording and processing of data generated by a CMS test station (Compact Muon Solenoid) during the first three months of the project. During the drill, approximately 100,000 jobs a day were transmitted to be processed by lower level centers in accordance with the Tier model. At its best, Cern transmitted approximately 200,000 jobs in one day. A maximum of 1,700 megabytes of simulated CMS raw and test data per second was transmitted. This is the current record for Cern in CMS testing. A total of 3.6 petabytes of data was transmitted to all the computation centers during the May CMS drill.
