Agreed. Do something now.

I'm in the middle of some 28.4 changes. After that, I'll start the web server work.

Analysis Paralysis... I can't believe there was a (group of) word(s) for that which I didn't know about.

I often lament at society's way of treating a solution with one small flaw as a flawed solution. For example, if all cars were driven by computers instead of people, the first crash would cause an uproar... despite having possibly reduced the number of accidents by 99.9%.

[QUOTE=tha;364686]These exponents you can look up in the [URL="http://mersenne.org/assignments/?exp_lo=26000000&exp_hi=30402457&execm=1&extf=1&B1=Get+Assignments"]active assignments[/URL] where they are listed in between some more assignments that have become superfluent but remain because of glitches or specific interest of some user.[/QUOTE]
This list now contains only the 12 expected exponents (instead of slightly less than 200 exponents yesterday).
Does anyone know what has changed?

I would say that George implemented phase one of the assignments reassignment unassignment process. The rest were superfluous.

PrimeNet summary looks great now. It bugged me to see those counts in the LL-D column where there were none with status unproven.

Indeed.

And the good news is when the client checks in again it will be told "stop this work" (so it won't continue to waste its time and energy), and will be assigned new work.

Hopefully George also has in place the logic to assign the slow machines work which will become "trailing edge" appropriately ahead. (?)

I don't know if we ever really clearly defined how far ahead to put them. It's a bit of a crapshoot. The fastest machine qualifying as a slow one will finish more than a year than the slowest machine still qualifying for any DC.

Defining the trailing edge 12 months out for DCing (assuming 41,000 candidates at year) is a very simple SQL statement.

New minor milestone, all exponents below 29 million have been DC'ed. The lowest exponent is now 29,838,439 which is the only one below 30 million that has not been DC'ed yet. It will be about half way this month.

So the countdown from 10 down for the next major milestone starts now.

People are getting impatient
