06/02/2004 05:29 AMNew Largest Known Prime Numberhttp://www.mersenne.org/24
036583.htmJosh Findley, a volunteer in the
Mersenne.org research project called the Great Internet Mersenne Prime
Search (GIMPS), has discovered the largest known prime number. Findley
used his home PC and free software by George Woltman and Scott
Kurowski as part of an international grid of 240,000 networked
computers in virtually every time zone of the world. The new number,
expressed as 2 to the 24,036,583th power minus 1, has 7,235,733
decimal digits and was discovered May 15th. It is nearly a million
digits larger than the previous largest known prime number, and
belongs to a special class of rare prime numbers called Mersenne
primes . The discovery marks only the 41st known Mersenne prime, named
after Marin Mersenne , a 17th century French monk who first studied
the rare numbers 300 years ago. Mersenne primes are most relevant to
number theory, but most participants join GIMPS simply for the fun of
having a role in real research - and the chance of finding a new
Mersenne prime.

26-year-old graduate student in the US has made mathematical history
by discovering the largest known prime number. The new number is
6,320,430 digits long. It took just over two years to find using a
distributed network of more than 200,000 computers. Michael Shafer a
chemical engineering student at Michigan State University used his
office computer to contribute spare processing power to the Great
Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS). The project has more than
60,000 volunteers from all over the world taking part.
"I
had just finished a meeting with my advisor when I saw the computer
had found the new prime," Shafer says. "After a short victory dance, I
called up my wife and friends involved with GIMPS to share the great
news."
Prime numbers are positive integers that can only be
divided by themselves and one. Mersenne primes are an especially rare
type of prime that take the form 2 p-1, where p is also a prime
number. The new number can be represented as 220,996,011-1. It is only
the 40th Mersenne prime to have ever been found.

What's Prime Time?
12/11/2003 05:06 AMPrime time TV may quickly be a thing of the past. While the rise of
personal video recorders like TiVo mean time shifting shows out of
prime time (or, into prime time) is playing a role, new studies are
suggesting that
many
people are simply giving up television programming for
alternatives like the internet, DVDs and video games.
Broadcasters were so surprised by the severity of the numbers in one
recent ratings report that they originally claimed that the data must
be bad. However, there's plenty of evidence to suggest that there's
quite a large movement away from broadcast television. What the
broadcasters still don't realize is that people are beginning to
realize that they want more control over their entertainment time.
They don't want to be force-fed what a producer picks. They wanter
interactivity or they want choice - which goes against the entire
broadcast mentality. In the meantime, the advertisers
are
realizing that this shift is happening, and thus are moving their
advertising dollars to other venues such as the internet and video
games.

The practice of breaking bad news by text message is a growing

most unusual instance of such an act to date, the King of Swaziland
has sacked his Prime Minister in 160 characters or less.
King Mswati of Swaziland has enraged local lawmakers after it
emerged he instructed his attorney general to fire Prime Minister
Sibusiso Dlamini by SMS text message.

The two-way Web unleashed by the blogging revolution is, and will
remain, largely a textual medium. And yet we're clearly at an
inflection point. It's increasingly feasible to create and share media
content. If you needed special AV skills and instincts in order to do
that, it would be a non-starter. But I've never been an AV guy. What
motivates me to explore the subject now is a profound sense that it's
ready to become part of mainstream communication on the Web. I'm not
sure where this series of columns will lead, but let's take it one
step at a time. [Full story at O'Reilly Network]
Thus concludes the first installment of my new series of columns at
the O'Reilly Network. Previously, the column -- archived
here and
here -- dealt with Web
services, XML-oriented content management, collaboration, and a
smattering of other topics. Now I've decided to use it to reflect on
the various AV-related topics that I've been exploring lately.
