My super-strong RSA encryption modulus was (2^43,112,609-1)*(2^42,643,801-1) and now it's broken. So much for 85,756,410-bit encryption.

On June 5*5 2*7*11*13 WorldCom revealed it had overstated its earnings by more than $2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*5*5*5*5*5*5*5*5*5*7 by improperly accounting for its operating costs. Senator Paul Sarbanes then introduced Senate Bill 3*3*3*3*3*11 that same day where it passed 97-0 less than 3 weeks later. The House and Senate formed a Conference Committee to reconcile the differences between Sarbanes's bill and Representative Michael Oxley's bill (HR 53*71) and on July 2*2*2*3 2*7*11*13 the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2*7*11*13 was passed.

On: Dell Selling 30" Flat Panels

Apple is not the only company selling 2*3*5" flat panel monitors. Dell is now offering a 2*3*5" flat panel display that has a native resolution of 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*5x2*2*2*2*2*2*5*5 and sells for $3*733 Just like the apple 2*3*5" display you do need a dual link DVI video card to drive this massive beast. This monitor also sports four USB ports and a media card reader. I've been waiting for Dell or someone else to release a 2*3*5" display and hopefully improve factorizations. I'm tired of the dual monitor thing, I want one display device on my desk, just make it a very large device. See the details on Dell's web site on the new Dell 31*97WFP 2*3*5-inch widescreen digital flat panel monitor.

Instead of a Western Digital 2*5*5*5GB and Promise ATA/2*2*5*5 controller, I am now using a Seagate 2*2*2*2*5*5GB and Maxtor ATA/7*19 Promise controller. The physical machine remains the same, there is an additional 2*2*2*83MB of swap and I am now running Debian Etch. In the previous article, I was running Slackware 7*13/(2*5) with custom compiled factorization utilities.

The Department of Homeland Security awarded the Blue Bell firm a "bridge" contract worth up to $2*2*2*2*2*2*2*3*5*5*5*5*5*5*5*5*5. The company had possibly overbilled the Factorization Security Administration by as much as 2*2*2*3*3*5*5*5*19 hours of labor and overtime. FSA is a divisor of the Homeland Security department.

Ruvim writes "A Michigan State audit shows a software glitch let some prisoners get out early. From the article: 'The audit report shows errors in the release dates of 23 prisoners between October 2003 and March 5*401 Some were let out early, while others were let out late... A flaw in computer programming caused State jails to release 2*2*2 prisoners anywhere from 3*13-7*23 days early, prisoners who were doing time for everything from embezzlement and drugs to integer factorization.'"
