  1. Re:Is this proof correct? on Another Breakthrough in Prime Number Theory · · Score: 1

    I meant to say all the primes up to some number. Then x+1 will not be divisible by any of them. Nor should x-1. I.e. 2*3*5*7*11+1=2311 I know (this is why there are infinite primes) that 2311 would therefore be prime and it is. Why wouldn't 2309, or any number in it's place, be prime? Plus if x+1 is a factor then it could still be prime.

  2. Is this proof correct? on Another Breakthrough in Prime Number Theory · · Score: 1

    You take all the primes currently and multiply them together to get x. X+1 and x-1 are bot prime and therefore twinprimes. I know x+1 is prime but why wouldn't x-1 also not be prime?

  3. Re:Nice, but purge the Patriot Act, too on Bookseller Purges Records to Avoid PATRIOT Act · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We don't want a Lincoln. What he did during the Civil War (American obviously) was shut down anti-war newspapers. Let's hope Bush doesn't get that idea.

  4. smaller tv's on Whether (And When) To Buy HDTV? · · Score: 1

    What I want is a nice 15 inch 4:3 HDTV for $150. I don't want 30 inches like they usually are. Maybe when that comes out I will get one.

  5. Bushes fires on Bushfires Destroy Historic Mt. Stromlo Observatory · · Score: 0, Troll

    The first time I read the title I was thinking "[George] Bush had fires that damaged the observatory"

  6. suspence on Psst! Eight Bits Gets You "The Two Towers" In China · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know why everyone likes watching movies in theaters. I like the ability to pause if I need to releave myself. My home is also a more comfortable setting. Of course "counterfeit" movies may not as high a quality but it's not giving money to MPAA.
