Risk Apocalypse for Faster Porn!

If the Large Hadron Collider doesn’t destroy the Earth, its data analysis network may give us faster porn.
Since the LHC will produce 56 million CD-ROMs worth of data annually, CERN scientists won’t use a central computer to analyze the data. Heck, they won’t even use distributed supercomputing over the Internet. They’ll use a custom grid […]
