  1. Re:Actually the 47th on 12M Digit Prime Number Sets Record, Nets $100,000 · · Score: 0

    Sorry, but 2 and 5 are not Mersenne Primes.
    They are primes but not Mersenne Primes.
    Now if you had stated the numbers 2^n-1 were prime for
    n = 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 31, 67, 127 and 257
    ... then you would be correct.
    Mersenne Primes are primes that are represented as 2^n - 1. You cannot represent 2 and 5 in that form.

    Just for information, Ganges and Hoogli ( Hugli ) are not different rivers though. Hugli is just a subsidiary of Ganges. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Hooghly

  8. Re:Worker's Paradise on India Will Need to Recruit 120,000 Foreigners · · Score: 0

    I am not ashamed of the India's Economic Status. Most of these definitions are too old to hold true for India. I agree, we still have a people living under the poverty line, but we are growing up. You wouldn't be whining about India if it were a third world country in the first place.

    Your Ignorance is EVIDENT by the simple fact that you all INDIA ( OR CHINA ) a "Third World" country. Grow UP.

    Who needs manpower when you have computers do datamining for you? Storage is cheap my friend. Haven't you heard about Yahoo, Google, Xasa, etc etc... What do you think was the return of investment for war on IRAQ and AGHANISTAN? OR the 82 Billion Dollar that BUSH is trying to get for the same?

  11. Re:H1B = Indentured Servitude on Critical Shortage of IT Workers in Coming Years · · Score: 1

    Do you even have any idea how difficult it is to get an H1 B (if at all you get it?) Are you aware of the conditions and checks being done by the American Embassy before giving an H1 B? People who get an H1 have to prove their education and ability to get one. H1B's are not DONATED by the USA government.

  12. Re:H1B visas are a real option on Critical Shortage of IT Workers in Coming Years · · Score: 1

    H1-B holders are not bound to the company who have sponsered their H1-B's in the sense that if some other company wants to hire them, all they need to get done is a transfer of H1-B ( which doesn't even count in the quota of 65000). The transfer is a very easy process requiring only 15 days if you do a premium transfer. Also, if you are on H1-B, your company can file for your Green Card. It's takes about couple of years.

  16. Re:apathy on Firefox Growth Slowing? · · Score: 1

    Yeah,
    I love this feature... I mean, Imagine you having ten IE windows opened and it crashes, you loose them all. But FF, get back with all ten when you re-start the browser. This is really nice feature to have apart from tabbed browsing.
