Pi Computed To 10 Trillion Digits

Posted by samzenpus on from the because-he-can dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A Japanese programmer that goes by the handle JA0HXV announced that he has computed Pi to 10 trillion digits. This breaks the previous world record of 5 trillion digits. Computation began in October of 2010 and finished yesterday after multiple hard disk problems, he said. Details in English are not fully available yet, but the Japanese page gives further details. JA0HXV has held computation records for Pi in the past."

    He's Japanese. Lots of digits, small dick. I bet daddy lets him drive the Porsche around town when he's not busy neckbearding it up with his servers in the family house's basement.
