New prime number found

Figured the math major would appreciate that. :-p

Saw it!

Mersenne's primes are cool.. briefly read a different link about it yesterday or the day before... not detailed though. Only know it's a HUGE ASS number.

I haven't had a chance to read anything on it yet, as ebay is now calling me 100% of my free time... auction is up to $60 or so! yayayayay...

Cool. Lot better than what you've been getting on the other stuff you've sold?

No crap!

the 2nd one I'm making is much better, so I'm hoping 2 ppl will bid it high. I've seen the knockoffs go for more than you can buy the originals for on the chickie's website. Cross yer fingers for me :)

well how weird is it that we actually discussed this in my Math class on Tuesday... I mean freaky... it is very interesting but the fact that there are infintely many primes seems to make finding the higher primes relavent to me... I mean seriously who cares what number is 6+ million digits long and prime... interesting yes, useful in anyway no... ohh yes I am a big ole math geek myself

:o)

Yeah, it's really not useful. Just amusing.

And I am so not a math geek. Heh.

we can't all be math geeks... well we could be but that would be boring I think.. hehe
