Mersenne numbers are by definition 2^n-1, which means that in binary notation every such number is a sequence of ones.
Since the length of the number in base-10 is a little more than 10 million digits, and 10^3 is roughly 2^10, does this mean n is as low as 33-35 million?
Nevermind, checked Wikipedia. The largest currently known n is 32,582,657 so apparently my reasoning is correct.

I dont like having to sit infront of my computer to watch TV shows I can watch comfortably from my couch infront of my 40" TV. I prefer having a TV then having to deal with crappy encoded streams on the internet and the buffering that is common with such things. I get no buffering with my cable box and my TV.
I have my TV connected as a second monitor. A 40" 1360x768 Viewsonic that might even be the exact same model you have. I don't read Slashdot when "it's on" 18:30 to 19:00 Wednesdays; I don't see why I should watch TV except whenever it suits me.
I live in Finland which switched off analog TV this spring. I never bought a "digi-box". Nothing I watch is broadcast here anyway. I use torrents for everything now. I'm just waiting for those stone age broadcasting corporations to give me streaming video (or a p2p download that starts automatically when an episode is aired) that equals the quality of what a 12-year old with a Bittorrent client can provide. The Pirate Bay is not the epitome of convenience and I'm willing to pay for both quality and convenience.
1. Decide what kind of ring, design, and materials best describe her and appeal to her tastes. For example, my wife is geeky, just like me, but does like sapphires, white gold or silver jewelry and can appreciate technology and such, so I endeavored to have a ring custom made with white gold, sapphires, and for the center stone I used a very geeky stone: Moissanite . All and all it did cost me as much as much as a diamond ring, but it ended up being a beautiful, unique, and fitting ring (beautiful and geeky!).
Fixed the link. Moissanite is more brilliant than diamond due to a higher refractive index. There are more brilliant gemstone materials out there, but they are more brittle. Moissanite is _the_ geek choice for "best gemstone in existence".
A caution on white gold: Many white gold items are rhodium-plated with a thin electroplated layer that will wear off, exposing the yellowish-grey alloy beneath.
Iridium is very heavy; slightly heavier than platinum, much heavier than 18 carat gold. Something light like titanium may feel flimsy and cheap. An iridium ring will be give you that "whoa" feeling when you feel its weight.
Okay Muscians actually do get paid and this isn't about record companies. This is the poor sap playing his ass off.
Note that the window of time currently affected is 1913-1958. Music written between 1913 and 1958 that still has commercial value. Either the copyright is owned by a label rather than the musician or the musician is filthy rich by now.
And besides that, she really knows her stuff when it comes to the Commodore.
From Wikipedia: "at which point she moved to Walla Walla, Washington and attended Walla Walla College,". I'm sure it's an excellent center of C-64 learning, but...
Is there any superresolution software good enough that I could, for example, take twenty blurry pics with my phone and merge them to a single sharp one?
I would agree with parent. I read his blog now and then a few years back. Overwhelmingly negative stories on muslims mixed with the occasional writing on what he means by "moderate islam". He's also the founder of an organization called Campus Watch that seems more than a little sinister.
True, the research may be searching for sources. It still looks like he has his own ideas he wants to get across. That might count as POV rather than original research, but is still not very objective. From tfa:
"At the same time, he also believes Hillary the woman is widely misunderstood. "One of the things I've tried to get across in the article was how much people were impressed by her before she got married to Bill," he says."
That said, once motorola releases an H264 based unit and not an mpeg2 receiver... there will be plenty of bandwidth. Well, assuming the rush to fill their service with tier 3 HD channels doesn't ruin it. This is all contingent on fast, affordable h264 decoding chips and I really haven't seen a good deal yet.
Artists generally don't own the copyright of their works if it's being commercially distributed. RIAA/MPAA propaganda tries to paint the artist as the victim of any copyright infringement, which is not the case. The artist does not have the right to distribute his work. The artist can not give others the right to distribute his work. The artist has no right to watch/listen to his work.
If Parker and Stone download a South Park episode from someone who does not have the right to distribute it, they are as guilty of copyright infringement as anyone else.
If you download a South Park episode from someone without the right to distribute it and you would otherwise have paid for it in some way, the "victim" of your action is the company owning the copyright, not Parker and Stone.
The clip finishes up showing Swedish musician, Pernilla Andersson (apparently Sweden's answer to Vanessa Paradis), who is by the reporters account, suffering at the hands of The Pirate Bay. I personally couldn't find any of her work indexed on the site.
I thought this was a bit funny. I checked and couldn't find anything either. Maybe her record company paid for product placement;)
Hey, I've got an idea! How about if the state agrees to shut down the internet, we promise not to add noise to every DVD! _And_ we'll drop our demands for strip searches in theaters.
Feature-wise the original N-Gage gave an absurd amount of bang for the buck, but the games were missing and it competed against the GameBoy Advance that was half the price and had lots more games. I think adding a phone to a game system with the kind of game industry backup Nintendo has is far more likely to be successful than a phone maker attempting to make a phone into a GameBoy.
An "entertainment" version of the Communicator, with games, decent movie and mp3 playback, might be a better option for Nokia.
and you make a hawt new game and you offer it for sale. Yet it gets copied and shared the same week by thousands of people all over the net. You would be singing a different song then my friend. Name calling is easy.
Not really. I'd want as many as possible to pay for the game. If others download it for free, I lose nothing. To put it another way, if a million customers buy the game and a million download it for free, the sum of sales is still exactly one million; not zero.
It's hard to believe AT&T is handing Apple $18/month for the iPhone when to get an iPhone added to an existing AT&T plan you only haved to spend an extra $20/month.
These are some interesting figures. If I understand correctly you don't pay anything for the phone up front, but in practice rent it for $240 a year?
Some of the money for the $18 a month does come from the normal service fees. Selling the phone for two years of lock-in and a total price of $480 is a pretty sweet deal for AT&T.

Sounds like it's not snake oil on the surface, but I have no real knowledge of the field.
manipulate Russia's, Jordan's, France's et al intelligence to show the same thing.
Where does this come from? Russia and France even spoke out against the WMD claims pre-invasion.

There's a rule against original research on Wikipedia.

If they have nudity in their advertising, yes. However, it's still legal to sell whisky less than 18 years of age.
