  1. Verification program on New Largest Prime Found: Over 7 Million Digits · · Score: 0

    Don't you worry
    A program for verifying,using ocr, whether the poster you get really has the correct prime would be up on sourceforge the day the poster's released

  2. Re:exam revision time... on New Largest Prime Found: Over 7 Million Digits · · Score: 0

    If you promise me that you'd invigilate all through the time I am writing down this number, I am ready

  3. Re:If it's any of those things... on Mo' Beta Testing Blues · · Score: 0

    cheap shot? maybe
    factually incorrect? I believe so


    true
    may be even flamebait

    but definitely not offtopic

    it actually is supposed to be funny

    (Karma be damned -- I'm equivalent to an AC anyway now)

  4. Re:Sometimes it is about roll out speed. on Mo' Beta Testing Blues · · Score: 0

    and their servers are suddenly overwhelmed by the demand.

    For google, I am sure, the number of users trying to get registered at once wouldn't be a problem. If it's that they'd get in a few more hundreds of servers and bigger pipes to beat the demand.
    GMail is beta because it IS beta.
    Can you imagine the furore if it had been past beta and your mail space became 1 GB from 1TB that it showed you the day you registered?!
    It wouldn't definitely have added to the name that google has earned all these years

  5. OMG on Periodic Table of the Operators · · Score: 1

    If this periodic table somehow gets into school textbooks

    Two players take each others right hand and entangle their fingers - except the thumbs - forming a fist.

    This is insane
    Didn't anyone teach them that fingers are meant only to pounce on your keyboard
    (and may be occasionally to tap on your cute little mouse)

  8. Re:Wait a minute on California Senate Passes Preemptive Strike Against Gmail · · Score: 0

    Scanning a mail as soon as it hits the google mail servers and adding some meta-data about what ads to display,
    where to store this mail ( in case this is based on the ads-to-be-shown) etc. might be efficient

    Anyway I haven't been part of the designers so i might be completely wrong

    "We sold four million copies. That's $250 million worldwide... and Warner Bros. would penalize us because we didn't achieve 70%? Are they joking?"

    This guy would be in serious trouble if the warner bros demand a minimal royalty of 35% of the sales for any game that doesn't meet their 70% mark
