MY BROADBAND, IT IS SEXY, YES?

[defrog]

Yr alleged pub-science fact of the day:

A single sperm has 37.5MB of DNA information in it. That means that a normal ejaculation represents a data transfer of 1,587.5TB.

Which in turn (and I suck at math, but assuming 8 bits per byte and a total ejaculation time of 15 seconds) works out roughly to a line speed of just over 846 Terabits per second.

Speedy!

On the other hand, given that yr transferring close to 1.6PB of data to a modem that's not only designed to receive a single 37.5MB file, after which it discards every other packet, but also is protected by a multitude of firewalls (which slow down yr transmission time considerably), it’s hardly a bandwidth-efficient solution (compared to, say, Comcast).

But, you know, f*** efficiency.

So to speak.

[Insert "buffer overflow" joke here.]
