1. One human cell contains 75MB genetic information.

2. One sperm contains a half of that; that is 37.5MB.

3. One ml of semen contains 100 million sperms.

4. In average, ejaculation lasts for 5 sec and contains 2.25 ml semen.

5. This means that the throughput of a man’s member is equal to (37.5MB x 100,000,000 x 2.25)/5 = 1 687 500 000 000 000 byte/second = 1,6875 Тerabyte/sec

This means that the female eggcell withstands this DDoS attack at 1,5 terabyte per second, and only lets through one(!) data package, thereby being the best freaking hardware firewall in the world!

The downside of it is that this only small data package that it lets through, hangs the system for the whole of 9 months!

Anyways I’m getting off course, being a stumbler and having tuned my preferences to serve my wildly varied tastes, I do tend to get a large number of ‘you may not have known about the features of’ articles. I pass most of them because being a power user, I know most of the hidden abilities of programs. This one however caught my eye because it turns Chrome into an even larger part of my day. Having just applied to get the CR-48 to give it a merciless beating from my usage habits, it also gave me many items that I will be needing. Read about it at Guiding Tech:

As for getting back to posting regularly, expect a change from how I used to do it. I will still write my own posts, but expect more informational posts from other sites piped in.

Please check back in a few days after I make it through the 4th weekend and I should be back to more of a normal posting schedule.

Great! I thought. When I visited the creators website, I saw that they had other tracking software, one for movies in particular (All My Movies). Of course I wanted to see how well it worked, and wondered how they would pull off the same trick they did with the books. Well, thanks to sites like IMDB.com and Amazon, they have all the actors listed, screenshots, the movie synopsis, and way more that they simply pull into your program after you either enter the title, OR even better the barcode that gurantees you get the right information and don’t pull in the cartoon version of one of your favorite movies.

After playing around with movies that I actually own, I entered ones that I wanted when I realized they give you the option of creating a wishlist (finally!) of movies you want to get (or have people get you). They have multiple layouts you can use to view the information for each movie, and even better, if you like sharing what is in your collection with the rest of the world, they give you the ability to export the html code for the layout to simply paste into a webpage!

If you are more of a ‘don’t need the DVD’ type, the program can even search your hard drive for what you’ve copied off your legally bought DVDs (wink). I haven’t tried this portion of the program out yet since my laptop is the only place I do this at.

All I have to say is that if you finally want to get an idea of what you have and not have to thumb through hundreds of cases over and over when someone asks what you’ve got, check out All My Movies.

Movie Database Software

The makers of Wine claim that version 1.0 is the first such “stable” release and have said that although compatibility is not perfect, thousands of applications are reported to “work very well.”

Member and former president of Linux Australia Jonathon Oxer told ZDNet.com.au that the Wine project is “an attempt to make Windows irrelevant.”

“Essentially, it’s an effort to supplant the underlying operating system layer and allow Windows software to run on a Linux platform without requiring Windows to be installed,” he said.

A challenge for the Wine project is creating libraries that perfectly emulate Windows libraries.

“It never will be stable because the target keeps moving. As each new version of Windows comes out, the underlying libraries are also changed and so, Wine has the same problem as a typical Windows developer who is attempting to write software to run on Windows,” said Oxer.

Oxer said he considers the tool a Linux “migration path” for existing Windows users because they can move their applications across, even where they haven’t been designed to run on Linux. Although Wine’s original purpose was to provide a compatibility layer for office applications, the most popular use of the tool today is for gamers who want to play Windows games on Linux systems.

The only non-gaming application in Wine’s top 10 most popular applications is Adobe Photoshop CS2, which is in second place behind Guild Wars.

Wine, not surprisingly, has been the target of anti-piracy campaigns by Microsoft. In 2005, Wine users were prevented under the Windows Genuine Advantage scheme from receiving Windows updates.

Fellow internet giant Google, however, has chosen to support the program, recently contributing cash to the open source project to ensure that Adobe’s Creative Suite software still runs on Linux systems.
