Such a simple question but yet the answer can have catastrophic consequences.

Oh my Google! He applied!

If you're 3rd from the back with 200m to go, you're out of breath, your legs are burning and the jockey's whipping yr ass...

What goes through your head when people beat dead horses? :horse:

The truncated icosahedrons relevance to terminal velocity is more a function of the speed of the foot hitting it rather than the size of one’s prime. All you need to obtain verification of this is to listen to David Beckham talking on radio.

By the way, it isn’t just professors obsessed with prime numbers.

Refer to this article I wrote back in 2002 on the topic when I still had time to fool around with the subject.

http://www.skoups.com/_articles/going_for_prime.html

The beauty of prime numbers is the way it impact everything around us. There is a great book (ISBN-13: 9789576213236) that explains how prime numbers, Fibonacci numbers and the like all show up in nature every day. To answer your question, several reasons exist for why one would like to get a big prime number; I did it because I wanted to see if I could. However, the key benefit for knowing big prime numbers is to do some really cool encryption and decryption with them. RSA encryption works with starting with 2 prime numbers and then manipulating the number to generate a public key. If you could successfully derive an algorithm that can factor a list of potential prime numbers from the public key above, you could effectively decrypt any message in the world. There is a reason why professors are going bold over the above problem… and why Bin Laden hasn’t been caught as yet.

Sorry Baseline, my mother told me never to accept candy from strangers, and after all, I am engaged. But I am sure that you will get somebody to accept your offer, just hang in there.

Since I would kick any guy in the :censored: when he touches my arse there is no way he will be whipping it. However, let’s assume he is a newbie, all I can say is he will make contact with the ground rather hard, after which time I could dedicate my focus to both my remaining competitors and since I am in the lead, I could just walk to the finish line.

An old joke comes to mind. I was driving along the road when I’ve noticed this gang of people beating and kicking Paul. I immediately stopped, took my tire-wrench out of the car to resolve this issue. Well, as the one guy said after a drink telling the story to his buddy, “En toe kak Paul…”


Do you like camping


Only if it there is 802.11n coverage. I would make the exception every now and again and settle for 802.11g coverage but then the company better be worth it.

Adios
