Shrinking the PC is a Zen Thing

TheRaindog writes "Tech Report has one of the first reviews of Shuttle's new "Zen" small form factor system, which is almost 20% smaller than current XPCs. The Zen uses a passively-cooled external power supply and variable speed cooling fan to keep the system's noise levels and footprint to a minimum. With support for the latest Pentium 4 processors and ATI's Radeon 9100 IGP chipset, performance isn't too shabby, either."

    At some point you'll reach a size where quantum effects take over. And this would be the ultimate wall which can't be circumvented. Furthermore some people believe we will run into trouble earlier due to the entropy principle and related termodynamical effects (small layers of conductors evaporate spontanously due to the termal momentum of the atoms).

    Ever wonder what it would be like to suck your own dick? Or perhaps you've tried but have been unsuccessful at reaching your rock hard member. This guide is dedicated to helping you achieve the erotic and tasty pastime known as selfsucking or autofellatio. I have some tips and techniques that have worked for me, and that may also help you get your cock in your mouth. I am not especially well endowed, just an average size cock - 6.5". So I know that if I can do it - you can too! If you can already selfsuck and happen to have a story of your own self sucking adventures or some pics of yourself that you would like to share, feel free to submitt them to me. I'll get them posted asap! How I Got Started: Like any 13 year old male, I was horny as hell and seemed to have a constant hard-on. One day when I was jerking off I has the idea that wouldn't it be great if I could just suck myself off! I wonder what it would be like to feel my own dick in my mouth? I though to myself "there's got to be a way to do it!" So I tried sitting and just bending over to reach my penis but couldn't quite reach it. Undaunted, I tried laying on my back and rolling my legs up and over my head. Suddenly my cock was nearly at my lips! I was so exhilerated that as soon as I opened my mouth and let my tongue touch the head of my dick I exploded in orgasm and came all over my tongue and face! That was 20 years ago and I still love to suck myself. Nothing beats the sensation of having your own hard cock pulsating in your mouth. Feeling the smooth head of your dick against your tongue. Running your tongue around your hard shaft. Savoring the sweet taste of your own slippery precum and ultimately shooting your manly juices down your throat! Getting Started: Being able to suck your own cock definitely requires some amount of flexibility. But if you don't have any existing back problems, and don't have a huge gut, and if your dick is average length, with a little practice you should be able to get your lips wrapped around your own cock! The key is maintaining your flexibility and staying in reasonable shape. There are several ways to accomplish getting your mouth on your cock. But it seems to boil down to two main techniques. The simplest is of course just bending forward. There are various versions of this, some are pictured here. The other technique involves rolling over on your back..which is what I normally do. Hopefully sometime soon I will have some examples of myself for you. Meanwhile here is a description of my technique. How I usually suck myself off... Get in position on the bed with your head about 2 feet from the head board. Roll backwards with your legs going over your head until your feet touch the wall or head board. "Walk down the wall" slowly curling your abdomen until your cock gets to your mouth. Alternate method: roll your legs over your head and put your arms through your legs, pulling yourself to your cock. Note: When I come I have to try not to tense up my back too much while in this curled position. If I am not completely limbered up or am tired occasionally I over-stretch my muscles on the orgasm. BREATHING: If you are having trouble reaching your cock, there is a yoga breathing/stretching technique that you may find helpful, especially when trying to "walk down the wall". As you reach the limit that you feel your back will let you bend; stop, breath in and hold the breath for a second. Then exhale fully. On the exhale try to relax your back and stretch yourself toward your cock just a little bit more. Then breath in again and rest a moment. Repeat this again several times trying to stretch a little further each time. If you practice this a little at a time, over a fairly short period you will probably notice a significant improvement in being able to get your dick to your mouth. Remember to always be careful to not hurt your back when attempting this tasty indulgence. Know your limits and don't try to do more than you are able at one time.
