    I was refering to the Film.

    Which one is that? The only ones I could find on IMDB were couple of shorts from the US and an Italian film. :confused:

      Wow - the first three people on this post all have some form of Steve in their name. Now 4, because there is a Steven in my name as well (I just don't talk about it).

      Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

      My best friend in high school was named Steve. I used to work on a project where the manager was named Steve. I have a friend who used to drive a new-model Mustang, which had a commercial featuring Steve McQueen (who drove a Mustang in the movie Bullitt). Does this count? :-D

        Never heard about this movie before. It's been added to my rental queue. Thanks for that. :)

          The LHC is a black hole!!! It has already sucked in 6 billion euros.

          Considering that's the total over the lifetime of the project, and the funding has come from many countries, it's pretty cheap. According to Brian Cox, the UK's yearly spend on the LHC is less than we spend on peanuts!

                                          Awesome. As usual, all the people claiming that the world is going to end are early, according to the fountain of knowledge[^] today was only the first attempt to circulate a single beam. Actual high energy collisions aren't due until after October 21st. If the world is going to end, it won't be today.
