[QUOTE]"Arthur Clarke?" Kubrick is said to have remarked. "Isn't he a nut who lives in a tree in India someplace?"

As he watches CNN trace winter storms across northwestern Europe, Clarke, now 79, retorts, "I just think of it as 40 English winters escaped."[/QUOTE]

Working in some of the observatories on Roque de los Muchachos?


You should go to the rim of the caldera now and then, like an hour before sunset. If've been there just once (in december 2002) and witnessed a beautiful [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brocken_spectre"]Brocken spectre[/URL]. That was around 18 o'clock local time. In June, the best time of the day may be about 2 hours later.

[QUOTE=Till;516071]Working in some of the observatories on Roque de los Muchachos?[/QUOTE]No, working in Tacande observatory (it's marked on Google maps) near El Paso, some 15km south El Roque.

The views from El Roque are indeed spectacular.

Another one bites the dust
 

Another one bites the dust; 100M exponent in stage 1 P-1, 106 bit factor, I think the largest factor I've found ever.

Congrats! That's a nice find!

Swimbo will start soon her PhD in U.K. after we both had to give up doing the PhD when we lived in Brazil due to country’s economics but mainly due to the way we were treated at the Interdisciplinary Nucleus of Fluid Dynamics by its director. The only good time there at least for me was when I had access to a couple of servers.

Thank you Luigi.
BTW, I’m now a Certified Measurement and Verification Professional although I was expecting to learn about data analysis in more deep. One again I’ll have to study by myself...lol
