This isn't pedantic at all. The constructed number does not have to be a prime (as shown below in locofungus' example) and thus the additional step (there must be another prime, contradicting the assumption) is needed.
I played and completed the game last November. I can clearly remember the savegame problem. After a couple of hours you had so many savegames that it took minutes to get to the save/load screen. When I realized what the problem was I started to delete the oldest savegames after every 2-3 hours of gameplay.
The Landau & Lifshitz books are quite advanced but absolutely worth reading (well, "reading" is not the correct term to use here; it is very demanding and will take you a lot of time). I've never really been too fond of Feynman's lectures, but the again I'm more of a "lots of equations and exercises" guy.
Another book worth mentioning is Sakurai's "Modern Quantum Mechanics".
At least somebody has the same opinion. Congo must be the worst movie ever. I only saw this film in the movie theaters by accident: the newspaper had wrong information about which movie was gonna be shown and we were so late that we didn't check at the theater itself.
here are only 362880 possible games of tic-tac-toe (of which some are mirror images of others), which takes a cray about 5 minutes to play (of course most of the processing power goes to the advanced graphics). What about a nice game of chess?
Ever used mp3burn? It's absolutely easy to use. The program burns your mp3s on the fly (ie you don't need storage place on your harddrive for wav files). You can burn all mp3's in the current directory by using
mp3burn -o 'dev=x,x,x speed=XX' *mp3
By using the option '-c 80:00' you can make sure all songs actually fit onto the cd. mp3burn can also be used to burn other formats such as ogg- or flac-files
You're completely right. I'm a sysdamin in a university controlling about 40 machines, all of them running debian stable. Administating them is really a breeze. Security updates are out really fast and quickly applied.
The point I was making was that simply downloading a security patch for a kernel, applying it and rebuilding a kernel (which is very comfortable with kernel-package) isn't enough: you actually need to install the kernel and reboot the machine in order to secure your machines against exploits that the particular patch fixes.
Continuous and long uptimes (without 90 second pauses) can easily be accomplished with debian. It's other things that prevent long uptimes (like hardware failures or security concerns).
I've been running it on server (in the wild) for more than 2 years now with nary a problem
... so the kernel they're running on hasn't gotten all the important security fixes it should have. I love long uptimes as well but since you can't switch the kernel without rebooting (or can you (except for modules)?) it might turn into a security risk, depending on how accessible the computer is (happened to debian homepage not too long ago).
It's the same thing with md5-passwords on Linux: the encrypted password has a fixed length but the password you provide can be "arbitrarily" long. This means that there have to be several passwords of the same encrypted form.
You've got to be kidding. There's a big difference between a capital crime (rape) and working on a report in your free time. A conviction of rape sends you to jail for quite some time so you wouldn't even be able to come to work anymore.
It takes a little while to get used to all the files in/etc. The big advantage over windows is, though, that most of the config files are ascii files that you can easily manipulate with an editor in the command line. I remember having to click my way through several layers of contractable directories in order to reach a certain entry in the registry under windows.

That must have been one of the best posts ever!

I prefer Phys. Rev. D (that last one is accepted but not yet published).
