Queen Prawn Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 MSU Student finds largest known Prime Number. Is it me, is this the sort of worthless information? Don't get me wrong, I love math, I just can't see the use of this knowledge for something other than say, trivial pursuit. To each, his own. EDIT: This is a yahoo link so I don't know for how long it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Shafer, 26, helped find the number as a volunteer on an eight-year-old project called the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search. Tens of thousands of people volunteered the use of their PCs in a worldwide project that harnessed the power of 211,000 computers What a giant waste of time when they could all be logged on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
