[QUOTE=T.Rex;142200]Nice run, Jeff ! The wind is blowing in Ottawa ! Tomorrow late in France, I think. So Sunday for USA.I don't understand how you did... Can you send me the glucas.out file ?
[/QUOTE]

I was able to get it to go faster because it was running artificially slow in the first place. I was using 16 CPUs of a 128CPU system, all 128CPUs were in use, so lots of memory contention. When some other people's jobs finished, less memory contention, and Glucas sped up, I didn't do anything myself though.

Ernst: Yes, the power is now back on in Canada. Luckily up here we don't have to worry about cooling our super-computers, we just have to make sure the igloos they are stored in don't melt!

Tony: No wind power, this is what [URL="http://www.mytravelcertificate.com/niagara%20falls.jpg"]powers[/URL] us.

[QUOTE=jinydu;142564]So have you finished the second verification?[/QUOTE]

Not yet. :sad: It should be about another 3.5 days. I don't think (I hope not) I'm holding up any press releases since it has already been verified twice now.

The press apparently want y'all to suffer. I just got an email from Scott (excerpt below, "They" refers to the newspaper Scott is working with):

They asked us to NOT release the news or details to anyone else until they
have the editor's final approval, and if they publish it, to wait/embargo
all other outlets until the story is first out through them.

George, was there any especially good reason not to shop the PR around as soon as the first DC of the 6 Sept prime completed last Thursday, aiming for a Friday publication in whichever media outlet(s) you and Scott agreed on?

How much are you getting for the exclusive, George? :smile:

No more vacations ! Get ready for M47 !
 

[QUOTE=Jeff Gilchrist;142563]Luckily you were on vacation when the first one was found. :razz:[/QUOTE] Yes ! And I've decided to no more go on vacations during the next 2 years ! Nom de nom !

Scott's been in charge of the press. I don't know the specific reasons for choosing the 15th over the 12th. I do know that one of Scott's highest priorities is for the AP to pick up the story. If he succeeds, you can expect articles in many newspapers over the coming week.

[QUOTE=jrk;142586]How much are you getting for the exclusive, George?[/QUOTE]

If Brangelina can get a million for exclusive photos of their twins, I think we should get at least half a million for photos of our new babies. Alas, People magazine turned us down.

George, Scott, what did you think of the Spiegel fluff?
