Well case insensitivity would have a *huge* impact on the maximum number of files in a folder If we take the possible non alphabetic chars in a file name to be 26(0-9 the chars above them,{,},?,,.....)
with case sensitivity it would be (26+26+26)^255 but if it is case-insensitive it'd only be (26+26)^255

The best mode to read, as anyone would agree is paper-based, be it a book or a newspaper.
The cheap displays that can be inserted into the newspapers with short clips for the different news items or some illustration (in case of a book) that start getting played as you flip through different sheets would be ultra-cool.

What if the message that your SETI's going to find out happens to contains this prime!?!?
Isn't it possible that some civilisation is so advanced that their 'bc' would give back the 50th mersenne prime just like our bc would return 3*5
Wouldn't it be cool to find out that the msg you've just now found on SETI isn't gibberish but a hi from another advanced civilisation
*verified* is the key
they didn't say that the other guys computed the number again
The verification procedure, used here, might not be a feasible one for actually finding out the correct ones by checking every number
