[QUOTE=Andi47;214829]Nice factor! :tu:
Have you emailed it to Richard Brent? It should qualify for the top 10 (rank 7) of this year. (and it is the [I][COLOR="Red"]eleventh[/COLOR][/I] factor with 60+ digits this year!!!)[/QUOTE]

I'll send it out.

In 2009, this result would have ranked 2nd; in 2008 and 2007, 3rd over the whole year. Now it's 7th as of May 12th! I wonder if it will finish the year in the top 10.

A more interesting question: We are left with a C155.
Depending on how far along the number is with SNFS, it might be
worthwhile to quit SNFS and switch to GNFS on the C155.

A perhaps even more interesting question:

This number had been [b]reserved[/b] by Al Edwards. He was doing it
(AFAIK) with SNFS. Thus, the question becomes:

Why was this number poached??? I find it to be rude and disrespectful.

Yes: A man by that name pays my bills, and washed my dishes yesterday evening.

The dark side is that he is sleeping with my girlfriend. Were it not for his paychecks being deposited in my account, I would have dealt with this situation in the harshest possible way.

What does that make your... err... his... girlfriend? :max::max:

Ben, you actually live within the reach of the captive bolt pistol.

Is there somewhere that isn't?

If FactorEyes is already on his way to my house, I hope he takes the time to read my "fiddled with" comment before he gets here...

Right. That's it.

I'm not running any more ECM, ever. Hit a lucky curve, and it leads directly to questions about my identity, and a discovery that I have been living an alternative lifestyle - news even to me.

It's like winning the lottery, I guess. Everyone thinks that [B]they[/B] could handle the newfound wealth, but within a couple of years the friends are gone, the house is gone, and you're living under a bridge.

Odessa, Texas?

Hmm. I could stop by late tonight.

EDIT: If you know that movie, I heartily recommend a visit to Las Vegas, NM. I did not recall how much shooting - in every sense - occurred there, and was not prepared for the repeated moments of fear I felt between encountering yet another seedy hotel/motel/street and figuring out why it seemed familiar.

Ah! One learns something everyday. I did not know that FactorEyes
was Al's nom de plume.
