Open Source Everything, Indeed

aj — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:44:01 GMT

Here at MFGx, we've been living large on Open Source. From post after post in our forums, to a special community assigned to the MFG.com Open Source Machine Tool project, we're big believers in the power of crowdsourcing.

But even our Open Source exuberance is challenged by this:

Wanna build your own Subatomic Super Collider?

That's right - according to this tongue-in-cheek play on the Open Source model, you can build your own Hadron Collider. All you'll need to build it is "... €6-billion, enough real estate to hold your 17-mile-long ring, a staff of international geniuses, and ..." downloadable plans from the Institute of Physics in London.

But wait - is this really Open Source, or is it €6-billion freeware?
