Darby, I think you may be looking for an excuse to shoot down the Cern Watch. However, it seems if this "low level physicist" is into cryogenics and magnets, his expertise in computers may not be expertise at all, hence the exageration/assumption that Cern has the most powerful computers on earth.
In regards to a stable singularity.... well, i don;t think we are there yet. Even with CERN, I don't think we can stabilize a singularity. Problem, that I think the upper scientists are worried about, is if they have a way to break up the sigularity after it is created.
Cern will run for hours, maybe days, and accumulate atomic particles in the ring. The particle beam will build, slowly, and eventually get to an energy level where the upper sci's think they can release that energy and make a singularity. While this beam is building up, huge amounts of power (as much as CERN can provide are being put into it. The steering magnetics keep many particles inline, and the ones that fall out of the line go into beam dumps. Beam dumps are link heat sinks on a computer chip are able to capture 100,000's of BTU' s. All this continuous energy, building up over time will do one of two things, if it is sucessful.
1. a singularity will be created for nano second and then collapse onto itself.
2. a singularity will be created and A) the containment field provided will be sufficient to stabilize it as long power is enough (it won't be), or B) the containment field will be swallowed by the singularity.
Now also keep in mind that a singularity is a beam in itself and behaves much like a pulsar. This means that a vector force of gravity will pierce the earth from cern all the way through to the south pacific ocean somewheres off the southeast coast of the Chatham Islands.
