Sorry for being off topic, but the title really reminds me of a mad scientists' version of Hemmingway's short story : "For sale: baby shoes, Never worn." =) carry on.

Wired's ad-centric, three paragraph article on nine pages leaves much to be desired.

Anywho, anyone want to go halvsies on this?

Agreed, where's the damn 'print version' link?

Anyway, I'd love to jump on this kind of thing, but for my lack of millions. I've wondered what happened to the installation and it drives me nuts to read of a huge capital resource like this just sitting there gathering dust.

Lacking vast cash reserves, all I can do is take a tip from another current story and offer $20 plus a friendly attitude.

It's an interesting mix of UI. Looks like an image gallery with oversized captions, but two photos on each gallery page.

I enjoyed the read and was not disturbed by banner ads, I'd be hard pressed to name any of their advertisers...

If my site turns out successful, I fully intend on purchasing this facility. If you still want to go halvsies at that point, we can talk about it =)

It's about 10 miles from where I grew up. No one talked about it much. I can't believe I never explored the abandoned superconducting supercollider.

Think of the super-powers you missed out on ....

It is on one Urban Exploring website, one of the doors was open and they explored the facility until they opened an door that triggered an alarm. It was interesting, but all of the equipment had been removed.

Good quote from the article:

'What turns me on is when 20 of your best friends tell you it won’t work," Hunt said. "I think that does something to me."

That would make one mean hardware/software incubator and hacker house ...
