You obviously have enough time to be posting on Slashdot... Or is that a shell-script, too?
Human genome = 3 billion base pairs = 6 GBit. Windows + Office = 20 Gbit. Which is more impressive?
maybe you should become your own boss and hire yourself?
I tried that once... it lead to a costly sexual harrasment law-suit.
