Sounds interesting. Unfortunately I cannot read Italian. Let us know if/when it gets translated.

Can you ship a copy to UK?

edit: do you only have ebooks?

Our ISP decided to give us a free bandwidth upgrade to 200/20 mbits (down/up). I checked the connection with speedtest.net (run by Ookla) and I got 192/20 so, quite pleased with that. Not that I really needed it, but it might come in handy if I need to download games from STEAM again or if we have multiple streams going (Netflix, Youtube, etc).

Yes, only ebooks... paperback editions need a price starting from 5.99, I guess...

I have found 5 factors in DC TF since I started on 2017-09-30. Two were within the last 12 hours.

EDIT: I miscounted. Make that 6 factors.

Let's hope they keep up this kind of rate.

Indeed! Actually, you both are slightly below the average of about 1 factor found every 100 attempts. But, of course, the more you do the closer to this average you should reach!

But my Mom thinks I'm special!!!

My lifetime TF average with GPUs is about 1/94.
This year about 1/86.

12,292 TF attempts in the DC/LL ranges in the past year.
155 Tests per Factor DC-TF (1,395 total tests)
81 Tests per Factor LL-TF (10,897 total tests)

There was a time that I was pretty far ahead of predictions, but my last previous round of DC TF wiped that out. I am hoping to regain that ground.
