Taken by itself, it’s quite a feat.

In the grand scheme of things, its pretty unimportant, but then again, a lot of topics here are on unimportant things one person or another did (this is directed at those who disparage what he did).

jeez, such unwarranted anger coming from people that I’m pretty sure would never even try something like that. it might be pointless, but in his defence, it's still a pretty incredible thing to have done.

Re: SuperNerdy: US student finds world's largest known prime number

you guys are missing the point....the main purpose of the project was not to find this number. The pupose was to demonstrate another aplication of distributed computing

So, he does have a wife. Although, that doesn't neccessarly mean anything
i bet his wife is a nerdy transvestite...
