That sounds horrifyingly Kafkaesque! Perhaps that is the type of activity the truly unwaveringly literal-minded would choose to do.

I am a Gimpster for the bounty
And a I drive for large primes.
Searchin' in the cloud for a faster iteration time.

I send the factors on the wire.
I send the no-factors with a whine.
And pray the Mersenne.org server
Is still online.

I know I need a small vacation.
But I can't pay the power too.
And that old Dell 2650
Won't ever finish the stage 2.

GTX 580 I need you more than want you.
And I want you for the iteration times.
And I pray the Mersenne.org server
Is still online....
