LabVIEW runs the world.


So those of you who used google today may have seen Cern's Large Hadron Collider, which has just fired up. Turns out the head of Cern has been receiving death threats from people who think it will cause a black hole. Now, we appear to be black hole free, so I just want to make sure credit is given where credit is due. Since Cern is using LabVIEW, and had this thing blown up and caused a blackhole we would all be doomed, we really all have LabVIEW to thank. So I feel it is my duty, as a former LabVIEW instructor, to take credit for saving all your lives.
Your Welcome.

To quote from Gizmodo:

"

We knew for sure that today was not the actual End of the World Day. Nothing—nothing according to Stephen Hawking—is going to happen when the the Large Hadron Collider tries to actually make those pesky particles to collide. But the fact is that today, you, my dear hadronmongers, it is not the day the collision was supposed to happen.

Today it's just the first beam test, not the actual first collision. That's programmed to happen on October 21, 2008. So all those stupid morons writing to us and CERN scientist will probably keep rambling for two more months."

lol....
