Having a fight with my Windows Live Messenger. It just refuses to sign on. Gon bitch slap the cry-cry if it keeps bugging and showing an attitude. I was planning to reset the whole system but then I found out that the new FF beta doesn't seem to have an export and I so not want to copy all my bookmarks one by one! Then I will still be busy next year. Abeg, how is it possible that they didn't make an export function!!! How dare they! Such a crime.
So yesterday the Large Hadron Collider aka "Big Bang machine" was switched on and I still don't get it! I confess, I always slept during physics in high school. All I understand it that it sends molecules and that when those molucules collide with other ones, they imitate the "big bang" or something like that... Right? Or totally wrong? But what disturbed me was the report that an Indian girl commited suicide because she heard about the Doomsday scenario where it would be possible that when the LHC was put to work, it would created a black hole and the earth would destructed. And do you know how much it costs? 8 billion euro! Shocked? So was I... Wouldn't it be much more useful to fight poverty with that money than finding out about molecules? I mean, sure it can be the beginning of a new area, but is this more important then human aid?
Last Tuesday, the Belgian research team from the Catholic University of Leuven, has found a gen that is reponsible for transferring the hiv-1-virus into the heart of the cells. If they can find a way to eliminate this gen, the virus will not be able to enter the cells anymore and possibly slow down the breakout of AIDS. There is still a long way to go but this is positive news I think. But what is not possitive is that their is still a lot of sexual crime against women, lots of homophobia, more than 1 million Russians are infected (also many children),... It worries me.
9/11 - Where were you? That's the question everyone asks. Myself, I was still at school, so I didn't hear about the tragic event until I was having dinner at my grandparents house that evening. When I came home, I switched on CNN and you saw the burning flames and horrible images. I can't believe it has been 7 years already. It seems like it was only yesterday. I can still see the towers, burt on my retina. Even after all those years, I still have shivers running down my spine when I see those images again. It's so tragic...
