Collider shut down again - nature abhors a Higgs particle?
The Register - 11.05.09 (by Lewis Page)A bird dropping a piece of bread onto outdoor machinery has been blamed for a technical fault at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) this week which saw significant overheating in sections of the mighty particle-punisher's subterranean 27-km supercooled magnetic doughnut.According to scientists at the project, had the LHC been operational - it is scheduled to recommence beaming

Captchas, bots, and the intelligence arms race
New Scientist - 11.03.2009 by Colin Barras Captchas, the scrambled images used to separate humans from software bots online, could become harder for bots to solve – and easier for humans to handle – by animating them. That is the claim of computer scientist Niloy Mitra at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, who along with colleagues has devised a system that should separate the bots from the humans. With some captcha systems close to being cracked, website owners are having to make them ever more fiendish to thwart bots. That comes at a cost, however: it makes them difficult for humans to read too, says Mitra.
