Just looking at the pictures of the construction and the sheer complexity of everything blows my mind.

I hated physics, but this is just straight up awe-inspiring. I feel proud to be alive to see this.

What about for an aerospace engineering major (or mechanical too, I guess) living in the US to get a summer job there? I've been to Switzerland before and I fell in love with it. It's just incredibly beautiful. That, and I've always wanted to be a "scientist" of some sort and while this all goes above my head, I would love to be immersed in the setting even if I don't actually do the science related work.

I'd be interested in this also. Do you guys need programmers? Janitors? Shoe shine boys?

Everything runs on what is essentially a modified version of the dreaded Red Hat Linux, They take the best OS in the world, and choose the shittest distro :rolleyes:

It is called SLC4, or Scientific Linux Cern version 4, and you can give it a try at https://www.scientificlinux.org/

Oh god. gently caress Scientific Linux. My undergraduate university ran that crap. Total poo poo. It's worse than a simple Red Hat variant. It's a Fedora Core variant, which is its own pile of poo poo anyway.

Seriously, CERN, I'm disappointed. I would have assumed Debian at least. :(
