Now if someone could give that kind of processing power to the cause of gaming! :p
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

Ah, this cryptography stuff is the main application of number theory; pretty neat stuff. But any discoveries I make will probably be in slightly stranger areas. :D ;7 (fractional "derivative chains," anyone? ;7)

You're right about this though: :D

I have 2 things to say. Number one:

[q]  It took the power of 10,000 computers running around the clock for 549 days....[/q]

[q]...the remaining $2,000 to two men whose computers helped solve the problem.  [/q]

:wtf:

Number two: the advertisment in the middle of that article caught my eye a bit more than the article itself:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Pfft. From the amount of computational power employed, it looks like it's nothing more refined than a brute force approach. If the guy was really good, he'd have done it without using a computer.

:p

Not mine, as I properly added /us.a1.yimg.com/ to my HOSTS file long ago. Nice how much faster pages load when they don't have to bother with the ad images.

Actually, I recently reinstalled Win2k, and haven't had the incentive to reinstall the ad filter proggie I used to use.

Ah-Hah! So THAT's where the little bugger is! I'd been wondering why there were so many "bad link" ads all over the place - apparently I already have a hosts file - I'll attach it (.txt added, of course). :D

umm...EVERYONE that uses windows has a hosts file.  Thats why 127.0.0.1 is recognized by your computer as localhost.  MY particular hosts file has been modified so that it blocks most commonly used ads.
