[QUOTE=Dubslow;289813]I'm pretty sure he has no idea what GPU272 is. This is a hundred million digit assignment he's talking about.

@bcp19: P95 will unreserve assignments if PrimeNet thinks it's taking too long. OTOH, since it is a 100M assignment, I don't think he needs to worry about it.[/QUOTE]

Indeed, I may have confused TObject with another user who was talking (in the GPU to 72 forum I think) about 100M exponents.

I was only ROFL and stuff because the 2001 quotation really did amuse me in the context. There are times I wish animated smileys could have a freeze timer, though: do their things for a bit, and quit.

:unsure: I really need to go see that film (and many others).

I'm not sure now, but that may have been the book. The movie depended a lot more on visuals than words.

The quote came from 2010 odyssey two.

I really hope you use [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory"]ECC memory[/URL]. Others here on the forum tried those 1+ year assignments without ECC and got error codes.

Makes you wonder what is considered too long, seeing there are some DC's over 2 years old still in the system.

Thanks, Luigi!

Yeah, I'm not too sure about that myself. Anyone else have any ideas?

For those who don't know, 2010 was NOT the year that movie was made. I don't know the year, but the second movie was made long before 2010 actually came along. Same thing with 2001 movie, which I believe came out in the 70s.

Or maybe I'm thinking of Deathrace 2000. Totally different type of movie, except for putting a year far in the future in the title.

You are roughly correct on the chronology.

From IMDB:[SIZE=2] 2001: A Space Odyssey, 1968
2010: The Year We Make Contact, 1984 [/OT]
