Here is way more than you could probably want to know about primes. And I would add an uninteresting linguistic fact: Primo is the Spanish word for prime, which also means 'cousin', which also means 'naive', in a pretty widespread slang over here. That gives any high school math class a new twist:).
What kind of dummy could have moderated the comment above as informative? It's not anyone claryfing a political subtlety. It's funny, you frigging moron! What the hell is wrong with you people?
It is always interesting to see how far extremes end up touching each other. This example of moral censorship is quite similar to that the Spanish Inquisition used to perform centuries ago, although the former is communist and the later was christian fundamentalism.
Pong is about to turn 30. Works since the first release and never gives bigger headaches to its users than the inherently necessary to escape the ghosts.
I know, off-topic, but someone already took my FreeDoS joke and I had to post something.
I am sorry to have offended you, and I admit my fault for generalizing. But you have to admit that the general opinion in the islands seems to be in that direction. As a Spanish republican (hint to outsiders: nothing to do with US republicans), I can't but feel sympathy for you:).
Europeans still have an essentially monarchistic view of government's relations to its citizens: citizens are subjects of the government, and all rights they enjoy, they do so at the government's pleasure. Thus stopping people from saying bad things doesn't get people as uppity there as it does here.
Actually, my view as an European who lives in the US is that Europeans see the state as something that belongs to everyone and works for everyone's sake, whereas in the US it is more of an external entity, something that stays on your way to get richer with its taxing and bureaucracy. Therefore Europeans don't see the state as something to fear (at least in our recent history), but as a tool for general wellfare. Thus also, the different size of the governments on both sides of the Atlantic.
And regarding to the monarchistic view of government's relations, look at the British. Do you know any more monarchy proud country than the UK? Well, they are usually the first ones to undermine major European integration, mostly when it affects their relationship with the US.
a small island in the North Sea controlled the biggest empire the world has ever seen
Not that it has anything to do with your interesting discussion, but, the Spanish Empire around the 17th century was the _largest_ one the world has ever seen, where the sun never set.
I am a graduate student and my life goes on within the 4 walls of the graphics lab. Not that I don't find it interesting, but sometimes you need a break and your girlfriend is not always around. But I found the solution to (at least) the lack of movement that was making my already thin muscles shrink a bit more everyday. We bought a soccer ball for the lab, and now every few hours we go outside and play some footvolley, or just kick it with fellow students. Pretty fun, and a hell of a mind refreshment after spending straight hours working (or slashdotting!).
We're even thinking on re-arranging the lab so that we can host a chair-soccer competition. Those guys next door will learn...

That guy is actually using his free time to fake a spouse who waits for him.
What's the point on showing them? It's like advertising a suppa-high definition TV in a comercial which will be seen in a cheap receiver.
...that not all fans come attached to an AMD processor.

Is my watch going to get a virus from her cellphone earings???
Does your wife talk on the phone while having sex? Dude, talk of frigidity!

I stayed in college for grad school and as a result I need Prozac everytime I calculate my hourly wage.
Or you can also not hit RETURN.
Nah, it's reality which is misleading!

Bullshit! I got my girlfriend because of my 4D, phong illuminated vectorial icons, you insensitive clod.
And need S0ma to get in the mood, and Viagua to bring it up :).
Buñuel tried this before.
But wait till I start my braille keyboard selling business...
I guess not Everybuddy can please everyone!
Smart ass...
I was going to make a joke about Doom 3... but it's too obvious.
Are you saying the GIMP should donate ALL of their revenues, you insensitive clod??
With these huge budget cuts, poor Quanty had to get a job out of the academia after his fellowship was finally cancelled.

Duke Nukem Forever is at least just as close to come out as some of these... :)
I don't get it.
