Google, 10th Birthday

GoogleLogo Today (10.09.08: Large Hadron Collider)

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons charged with very high energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. It is theorized that the collider will confirm the existence of the Higgs boson, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and missing links in the Standard Model, and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.

The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies underneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. It is funded by and built in collaboration with over eight thousand physicists from over eighty-five countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. The LHC is already operational and is presently in the process of being prepared for collisions. The first beams were circulated through the collider on 10 September 2008, and the first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled on 21 October.

Although a few individuals have questioned the safety of the planned experiments in the media and through the courts, the consensus in the scientific community is that there is no conceivable threat from the LHC particle collisions. As of 11 September, the LHC has not yet destroyed the Earth.

YouTube: "This account is suspended..!"

Untuk yang kedua kalinya account di YouTube di remove, yang pertama (Tamtomo)emang karena emang dulu sering upload video-video yang dilindungi copyright seperti video rekaman dari MTV dan kena laporan dari MTV trus tau-tau disable.

Account yang kedua (TamtomoVideo) gak ada lagi video dari MTV udah dan sebagian besar dari rekaman live dan video klip original (gak ada logo MTV atau sejenisnya) dan udah berisi 130an video. Semalem waktu upload video terbaru Metallica (The Day That Never Comes) ada imel dari YouTube kalo video itu ada copyright dan YouTube akan pasang iklan di situ meski video tetep ada. Upload masih dilanjutin dengan video lain dari Metallica juga (The Unforgiven III), abis video selesai diupload ada imel dari YouTube kalo lagu itu gak seperti lagu pertama dan tanpa basa-basi account langsung permanent disable...

Waduh koleksi video udah lebih dari 130an… untuk upload lagi butuh berapa lama lagi… untung sih sebagian udah diupload ulang ke multiply dan blogger belum ngumpulin file aslinya nyimpen dimana, tapi emang dari awal udah tau kalo upload di YouTube dan ada masalah dengan video bukan video-nya yang dihapus tapi langsung di-disable account-nya. Sebagai gantinya account baru udah dibuat dengan username TamtomoTube.
