Congrats to everyone!

It was just a matter of time before such a drought was bound to be broken.

A very big congrats to the discoverer of an apparent M48!!

Now if only I and a few others can have equivalent access to the Big Iron. Boo Hoo!!

Nice work, Jerry!

Next time - assuming it's not soon enough to revive various bogus "clustering hypotheses" - my minions shall be equipped with AVX code, and give you a better run for matching your rate of fire. ;)

(I hope Serge doesn't mind being called a minion - I meant it in the best possible way. Think of a nice juicy 'filet minion', you get the picture).

Will it be "official" only after Mlucas turns in its result?

I second that. It is indeed a unique honor to be a witness to such incredible history taking place in our lifetimes.

Yeah, I think so,

Meh. The CuLu was independent hardware and software, so I bet it would be accepted at a publication. But thirds is always good to have.

Congratulations indeed on the 14th prime found by GIMPS!!!
