I worked at CERN (and recently visited) for a long time.
I also was involved in the LHC effort.
There will be no black hole at CERN, end of story, and I don't care for Titor's rant and rave.

Does anyone know when the accelerator at CERN will be actually ready for use?

This is hardly a prediction. Its part of what people have allways hoped CERN could do.
Indeed, titor was able to say this because it was already established that it'd try to do this...
And most damningly, the whole titor story was lifted, in detail, from a fictional book.
I'd like to see an article mentioning how CERN was planning on creating black holes prior to John Titor's predictions
Also, which book did Titor copy?
The way Titor described it, the localized distortion field created by holding two microsingularities in close proximity dislodges the occupants of the field from time
Martial Law would probably do the trick.

Can you prove that?
Einstein showed us that matter and energy are equivalent, so you can also make a black hole by pushing a huge amount of energy into a tiny volume. For those kinds of experiments, there's an obvious choice: particle accelerators.
\There are 9 months to go to 2006.
That is actually true there was quite a bit of unrest around election time
There is an issue that could cause a civil war - a draft and a war with Iran

3. "We don't know what's on Mars yet."
A direct quote from John Titor, pulled from www.johntitor.com under the link 'John's World 2036'.
Even if a nuclear was occured between then and now and wiped out all existing evidence of the Red Rover mission and the Mars pictures, someone would still remember it. Hell, John Titor is 6 years old right now; he should remember it in 2036!
Here's more of the quote:
"No mission to Mars but we are working on it. There is a group working
on the idea of gravity displacement to get into space but the calculations
and error rate are very large obstacles to overcome."
