"It has been estimated that 487 billion gigabytes of new digital data
was created in 2008. The Large Hardon Collider (LHC) will generate up
^^^^^^
to 1,600MB of data per second when it is in full operation ... data
generated from Square Kilometer Array radio telescope, in one week of
operation, will equal all the words ever spoken by humanity."

Yes, but will it keep up with the written word, aka spam?

BTW, I think this is what the article's author meant to write:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider

"The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and
highest-energy particle accelerator ..."

Sure but a "large HardOn Collider" did make me laugh :)

page and can't get any other page , I get stuck in an endless loop and get
re-directed back to the same promo page when I click on the link to "....

I found it with FF 3.5.5, and have no problems.

More than likely a lack of them so you can not view their frigging
animated adverts.

You can use Google's text-only cached version of the site:

http://74.125.153.132/search?strip=...stest-supercomputer-unveiled-in-canberra.aspx

Just prefix any target URL with ...

http://74.125.153.132/search?strip=1&q=cache:

I have added this facility to the r-click menu in my browser (Opera)
and I use it whenever I suspect that the target URL will be
ad-infested.

Alternatively, you could send such URLs to a non-JS, non-Java browser
such as OffByOne.
