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.

prime number. It turned up on Michigan State University graduate

of time,” Shafer said.

computers to be unwrapped during the holiday season, more than 80
percent will be used to go online and search the Web's more than 92
million gigabytes of data (comparable to a 2 billion-volume
encyclopedia). Getting online is the easy part, finding a useful Web
page is a bit harder—keeping track of a useful Web page is another
issue altogether.
People have devised many tricks—such as
sending e-mails to themselves or jotting on sticky notes—for keeping
track of Web pages, but William Jones and Harry Bruce at the
University of Washington's Information School and Susan Dumais of
Microsoft Research have found that often people don't use any of them
when it comes time to revisit a Web page. Instead, they rely on their
ability to find the Web page all over again.

01/28/2004 08:56 AMKeeping Found Things Found on the Web - A Research Project of
the Information School at the University of Washingtonhttp://kftf.isc
hool.washington.edu/projKFTF.asphttp://kftf
.ischool.washington.edu/publications.aspThe goal of
this study is to understand better the ways in which people manage
information for subsequent re-access and re-use. The study focuses on
the management of information found on the Word Wide Web. Follow-on
studies will look at similar problems and practices of personal
information management for other information types including email and
personal files (electronic and paper-based). The classic problem of
information retrieval, simply put, is to help people find the
relatively small number of things they are looking for (books,
articles, web pages, CDs, etc.) from a very large set of
possibilities. This classic problem has been studied in many
variations and has been addressed through a rich diversity of
information retrieval tools and techniques.
A follow-on
problem also exists which has received relatively less study: Once
found, how are things organized for re-access and re-use later on?
What can be done to avoid the need to repeat the entire search
process? We refer to this as the problem of Keeping Found Things
Found. The current study addresses this problem in the context of
World Wide Web use. The study focuses on use of the Web by managers,
researchers, librarians and other information specialists. But it is
expected that the results of the study will be relevant to most users
of the Web.

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.

orders I made with Amazon last year to see if it'd make sense. Most of
the time I'm happy to get things with free shipping a week later, but
if it averages out to just a couple of dollars per order (and ~$0.75
per item)? Hmn. They should do something to get the marketplace
vendors to use the program too......

The practice of breaking bad news by text message is a growing
trend as people increasingly shun face-to-face confrontation. In the
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.
