    yeah, located at CERN.
    they finished up the 4 experiments earlier this summer and first beam was last night.
    they weren't colliding the beams yet, just powering it up to make sure that everything worked.
    collisions probably won't start until next year some time.

    They got really close to taking the whole system over. Apparently they didn't have malicious intentions though.
