1 edit		News Flash: Don't get your news from this site

Both this posting and the Times Online article show that the writers have a very, very poor grasp of the concept of grid computing. How do I know? I was an LHC grid sysadmin until very recently.

For now, I'll just point out two things:

- "The Grid" is not the name of anything and should not be used as a proper noun, ever.

- "The new Big Bang is set to take place sometime this summer." ?! That statement makes absolutely no sense.

If anyone wants to know more, I suggest you start at Wikipedia and then do some research on your own.

If everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something.
