You move to chilly northern Canada so that you can let the computer run through the summer without it getting too hot in your house.

Done, and Done. :flex:

[QUOTE=Flatlander;184486]You buy a plane and put your PC on it, permanently flying around because you heard that time goes quicker.[/QUOTE]Erm, oops, I think that time goes slower when moving. So might be kind of counter-productive.

Instead, you dig a (very) deep hole to the centre of the Earth and put all your computers there to escape the gravity field time dilation. [size=1][color=#b0b0b0]I least I hope that works?[/color][/size]

I don't know if that'd work, but I've got a better idea:
...if you put yourself on a very fast rocket ship, return to earth 1000 years in its future, pick up a PC, and then use one of their time machines to return to 2009 and find 10 million digit primes as easily as 10 thousand digit primes.

[I]That's [/I]where I've been going wrong.

...you purchase one of these to cool your CPU.

[/QUOTE]You made that to cool your CPU.

So a better solution is to send your computers to Earth-Sun's L4 or L5 point. That way you could gain ~22ms of runtime per year. [size=1][color=#b0b0b0]T=T0/(sqrt(1-2gR/c^2)), g = 9.8 m/s^2, R = 6.38 x 10^6m, c= 3 x 10^8m/s[/color][/size]

...you have a water cooling system for your computer that uses a V8 diesel in a shed outside with a 10,000 gallon water tank.

For my (many) sins, I only became conscioos of the L4,5 points
a few years ago. I was thrilled by how easy it was to show
that three masses located at the vertices of an equilateral
were attracted to the C of M by a force proportional to their
distance from it, and furthermore directed towards it.

(or something like that)

You might be addicted to GIMPS if you dream of prime95 being updated to support GPUs, then building a dual socket 1366 PC with 96 GB of RAM and 7 video cards. Just so you can test 23 numbers simultaneously :devil:.

You might be extremely addicted to GIMPS if you dream of the above but expanding it to a farm instead :bow wave:.
