Interesting theory! There's a similar one about pot smokers: despite being intoxicated, they still have less accidents than totally sober drivers because they're more paranoid than usual (from getting caught). I disagree personally and don't recommend driving on copious amounts of weed.
Basically anything that makes a car ride more fun is bad for you.
Yeah, but you ever notice how drunk drivers never seem to hurt themselves or any of the other drunks out on the roads at 2 AM when the bars close, but only sober drivers? I think everyone should be driving drunk and we'd see a large decrease in the number of auto deaths.
Making antiprotons requires 10 billion times more energy than it produces. For example, the antimatter produced each year at Cern could power a 100 watt light bulb for just 15 minutes.
That is tremendous for 50,000 atoms' worth of fuel. My god, imagine if you could mass produce them. You'd never need oil again, or anything at all except a antiproton factory.
So the iteration, when seeded with 196 or whatever, can run endlessly without becoming a palindrome (in base 10)...and this is the only one found under 10,000. Isn't that because after 10,000, the numbers are just too large to realistically luck out like that? After all the iteration practically doubles every time. That would get your needle in a haystack quick enough.
Are we supposed to be helping or hurting the terrorists with this?
You know, that depends on a lot of factors (social not technological). I guess when computerized animation, like Futurama and the new "cel-shaded" video games, really get off the ground, then someone will try to replace traditional Korean animators with 3D modelers...
All of the Hollywood scene is not likely to disappear because of computers for another 100 years, though. First it will fall into the ocean just before the Rapture...

Step 1: Underpants. I mean, get people to come (this is hard)
Step 2: ?
Step 3: PROFIT!
