code on machines you don't own is an accomplishment. Anyone who believes that finding Mersenne primes using software and methods that one is too stupid or lazy to understand is an accomplishment is someone to hold in total contempt. You, for example. Why don't you count instead the number of papers that I have published? Or the algorithms that I have implemented? Or the algorithms that I have improved? |

The code was running on my home pc, so as it was bought with my hard earned cash, guess I did actually own it. Strike 1. You have no idea how much I understand the software or methods, you seem to blindly believe that nobody knows as much as you. Strike 2 You previously equated me to a moron, now according to dictionary.com that means "Psychology . (no longer in technical use; now considered offensive) a person of borderline intelligence in a former and discarded classification of mental retardation, having an intelligence quotient of 50 to 69." Let's see, according to official Mensa application test my IQ is 150. SSttrrriikkee 3 and out! ![]() So how many Mersenne Primes was that you found again ??? Please reply with the prime exponent you found and we'll throw you a ![]() |

Thank you all very much for the enlightenment. I appreciate having an actual discussion rather than simply dismiss people due to their admitted ignorance. I've learned a few things.
I would also like to thank the honourable R.D. Silverman for my nomination to the Posts that seem less than useful thread. |

I don't dismiss people who are ignorant. I dismiss them when they continue to prattle despite their ignorance and when they <blankety blank> fail to DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE IGNORANCE. |

Just ignore anything this sad person says, he's just bitter and twisted because he's never found a Mersenne prime. He believes unless you understand the intimate details of anything you use then that makes you useless and anything you say worth less than nothing. Of course you need to offset his pathetic belief with the fact that he has not scrutinized and understood the most minute detail of the source code and chip layout of ANYTHING he uses himself. He hasn't verified the source of his cars electronics, nor scraped the top off the internal chips and verified their workings...you get the idea. Yet he drives it every day! Similarly please ask him if he was read and verified every line of source code for the OS that he uses, of course he hasn't and he will tell you this is a straw man argument. He will even belittle that fact that I am one of those few people who have found a Mersenne prime. Apparently i can claim no credit at all because someone else wrote the code and I don't intimately understand the maths. If you follow his logic then Usain Bolt deserves no credit for his world record runs as he doesn't have a degree in how the human muscles work at PhD level.... Keep on experimenting and having fun.

Please be aware that Gordon is a total cretin with the IQ of a cabbage. He prattles continuously about subjects that he does not understand (and never will) and totally disparages any effort at maintaining any sort of academic discipline in discussions about this subject. |
