[quote=Andi47;141224]you read a news about a Prime Minister somewhere and think about [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?p=141189#post141189"]M45[/URL] or [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?p=141187#post141187"]M46[/URL] before you even read the word "minister".

laughing my ass off ...

No words required....

you build a computer whose purpose is solely for GIMPS.
speaking of which, what would such a computer be like?
(i.e. perhaps large FPU units (WITH DOUBLE PRECISION :D), a "prime95 OS" :D, very good cooling, Lx caches designed to have just enough capacity to a certain FFT length?)

... you save up 10,000 LL test results, and then report them all on the same day to inflate your "CPU results in last 24 hours" chart.

[quote=Uncwilly;122633]You win the lottery and you purchase all of the computers that found the recent primes. Then you set up a road-side prime museum. It includes: posters of all of the m-primes for sale, banners on the walls of them in 4-point type, Mersenne's death mask, a lock of George's hair, and other wonders. Later you hire Paul to work as a docent.[/quote]

Gordon Spence, I presume? Welcome to the forum.

I think Gordon Spence's username is "nitro" (unless he created a second account).

For reasons that are not important in this thread GIMPS reports your new Quad in your CPU Report three times ... and for a second you start to drool.:banana:

HOT DAMN.. that's me.. I've actually got a stack of equipment (got it 4 cheap at some liquidation sale) and I'm running less than half of it because it heats enough.

[quote=cheesehead;144601]... you put in an advance order for the Pool PC ([URL]http://home.howstuffworks.com/10-wacky-home-inventions9.htm[/URL]) so you can take advantage of its watercooling to overclock it.[/quote]

In fact water-powered computers (if not water cooled) have been around since 1973 - see
