Useless Fact: Each Sperm Carries 37.5 MB of DNA Data

[Hellbound]

Great.. My wife can tell me "no" because I hit her "bandwidth cap" for the month....

 

[captaincharisma]

[citation][nom]mayankleoboy1[/nom]whew!just shot....er created 1.2TB of data.[/citation]

and yet you only got 640k of DNA which keeps your IQ so low

 

[SteelCity1981]

I have to benchmark my data throughput load times. lol

 

[jokemeister]

Likely each sperm has the same message so in reality it's just increased the worlds spam a billion fold....and spam filtering technology, aka Durex, has been around for ages and works pretty well. Just wait till the RIAA and co. copyright ejaculation. They'll be chasing porn stars for their torrent uploads.

640K ought to be enough for anybody.

"I'm sorry hunny, it seems that my fab facilities is having trouble with production."

"Why did you cheat on him?"
"I didn't, his fab facilities were down, so I went with the next best thing. Production was much better and of higher quality!"

XD

NO BENCHMARKS?

2.6 TB of data just entered my girlfriend. Holy shit.

haha useless facts. maybe we will try to keep this in mind.

Hahah your chance of having babies is %90 less of the estimated "data created"

Do you think if George W. Bush were to get his "data" amount estimate that it would be less of the average person.

Man I knocked out some petabytes when I was a teenager.

Ok about data compression, upload, download and bandwidth, but what about redundancy?

200-300 million copies...

 

[Burodsx]

Now if only I could connect to the internet...

 

[thrasher32]

I wonder how much "data" Peter North could transfer?

 

[soundping]

And cheaper than SSD.

"Thank you very much for adding a "Useless Fact" prefix to the article name"

And yet you read it and felt the need to post a "Thank you" like it helped you determine NOT to read the "NEWS".

So, the new facebook data server will be a sperm bank?

That sounds far too small a number. The idea that you could code all of the information for a human in 37.5MB is extremely difficult to credit. I could maybe credit GB, but I'd have thought it was more likely to be coded in TB or even PB. That's with compression (representation each base pair with a pair of bits).

37.5MB would be up to 150 million base pairs, which sounds far too small.

 

[jackson1420]

What if there is attenuation? ( Long Distance to target) Does it affect the payload?

Write me a book with 100,000 of text and put that into organic matter for me and try to make it 38 MB of text.

One human cell contains about 75Mb or raw data inside one DNA molecule. One spermatozoon contains half of that amount of data, which is equivalent of 37.5Mb.
On average, 1 milliliter of sperm contains 100 millions of spermatozoons.
Let's explain more; average ejaculation of a man last about 5 seconds and contain about 2.25 ml of sperm. If you take all that into consideration, a male throughput is:
(37.5Mb X 100000000 X 2.25)/5 =
(39321600 bytes in 1 spermatozoon X 100 millions spermatozoons in 1 ml X 2.25ml)/5 seconds = 1 769 472 000 000 000 bytes per second
Or in layman terms = 1609.33 Terabytes per second


Now, have in mind that female ovum can accept only one spermatozoon, meaning that ovum manage to survive DDoS Attack of more than 1,5 thousands Terabytes per second and in that attack accept only single packet of selected data.
Conclusion is that ovum has incomparably the best hardware firewall ever designed on the Earth, and it is difficult to realize that human will need a lot of time to get close to that.
The only, but biggest problem is that single selected packet of data which goes through firewall freezes the system for full 9 months.
