Sound advice....

[QUOTE=davieddy;337959]Since you could take 25 66M exponents to 74 in the same time as one 332M exponent to 81, I am relieved to hear that there are only a few idiots (mostly people round here) ...[/QUOTE]
What if people (in George Carlin's parlance) don't want to have a romantic relationship with five "twos", but instead want a tiny bit of chance to have a romantic relationship with a "ten"?

Are you paying these "idiots", David? Have you bought their "big iron", maybe? No? Then stop behaving like their employer and barking orders, eh? This is their idea of fun. Get off, already.

I prefer a more general rule: Beware of those who presume to tell others how to spend their time,

That includes - but is far from exclusive to - false prophets: many other kinds of wankers fit the bill, as well.

Recently you were humiliated into offering a grovelling apology to the forum because of unjustified contemptuous remarks about my prowess.

A bigger man would have accepted the apology.

Edit: Oh, and by the way, the insult wasn't about your "prowess".

Even if you weren't addressing to me davieddy, you went too far. enjoy your ignore.

Instead I have to put down yet another thinly-veiled torrent of insults.

Why should bringing fresh CPUs to the most "undeserved segment of the project" be a good thing to do?

Can you refute my argument that trying to find a 100M digit prime is currently a forlorn effort?

You and I go back several years. It disappoints me to see you jumping on the bandwagon of these upstarts.

David

[QUOTE=chalsall;337965]A bigger man would have accepted the apology.[/QUOTE]You didn't address your apology for an apology to me, and suggested I milked it for all it was worth.

I seem to be doing that quite well.
Careful what you ask for.

last I checked you said that TF by CPU was basically pointless (since TF by GPU can do more), so how is making it more pointless really any worse? it's better than not using CPU to do anything so it's not the worst option.

A very good older friend of mine frequently remarked on the attractiveness of young boys and girls.
In the pub I broached the subject of his sexual orientation.
"Basically I'm a masturbator" he replied.
Refreshing candour methought.
