A friend of mine sent an e-mail today stating that they diagnosed the result as being due to a loose fiber optic cable connection between a PC and a GPS receiver. ( http://www.livescience.com/18603-error-faster-light-neutrinos.html ) Disappointing, I agree. I would've love to have seen the speed of light broken, as it's a tough limit for any proponent of interstellar travel.

I feel like my heart got ripped out...:suicide:
Well this is good news.
If you get an odd result, you expect an error rather than something else. So if this was the case then many people will sleep a bit better.
This is what science does, find answers to questions and find questions to ask.
Alright then, there would be no complicated equations to explain why everything can't exceed the speed of light except for neutrino
There will still be many people who believe something (neutrinos) went faster than the speed of light; I don't expect this news to become that popular.
Oh blegh. I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarp driiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive... :lol:
You have no idea how science works.
You can want all you want...
Yeah. Scientifically speaking, ripping out someone's heart makes no sense. We have them scalpels, circular saws and whatever to do it.:thumbup:
You can't hope for some revolutionary technology when all you have is a single, highly disputed data point. I bet a lot of people want cold fusion, but we just can't have it.
Hey, circular saws are a proven technology, far from revolutionary... And so are scalpels. However, I heard from some Aztec types you can do it with obsidian knives.
Or by spouting stuff like "moleram, suleram" long enough... :shifty:
Neutrinos have been cleared of allegations of speeding, according to an announcement issued today by CERN and the ICARUS experiment at Italy’s Gran Sasso National Laboratory. Turns out they travel exactly as fast as they should, and not a nanosecond more.

In other news, I made around 60€ in bets by applying basic tenets of rational experimentation to this result.
Only 60€? Man, you need some basic tenets on betting. You could have made ten times that amount with a little baiting.:thumbup:
