I have a question, if 2^n-1 can only be a prime if n is a prime... would using the new 12M digit prime in the article as n, result in a new bigger prime? can it be repeated?

"Autodesk countered that because it licenses the software, rather than selling it outright, a licensee does not have the right to resell its products"

Vernor is passing that same license to a new owner, he's not duplicating it.

But now software licenses are tied to a single real life person and can't be transferred, you paid for it and now it's yours forever.

That is very cool, does it run on windows?

Bret Taylor says:

When we started, we did use Twisted. In practice, I found Twisted tedious. The deferred abstraction works, but I didn't love it in practice. Likewise, the HTTP/web support in Twisted is very chaotic (see http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/WebDevelopment ... - even they acknowledge this). In general, it seems like Twisted is full of demo-quality stuff, but most of the protocols have tons of bugs.
Given all those factors, it didn't seem to provide a lot of value. Our core I/O loop is actually pretty small and simple, and I think resulted in fewer bugs than would have come up if we had used Twisted.

Fixed it for you.

In EVE you can buy In-Game cards to extend your subscription, if you have enough ISK, which the farmers most definitely have.

"The most irritating thing was that all of my complaints were met by being told that Apple is consistently ranked top for customer support in independent surveys. "

The thing is, most of the time only happy customers get the opportunity to answer those surveys and disgruntled customers are shunned away.

But the front camera is just a lousy VGA camera used for video calls.

Not the kind of picture quality you'd like when taking pictures of yourself with your friends.

Anyone who knows time travel knows they are just going to modify one timeline thread. They kill the boy, history forks, but back on the "original future", nothing has changed, because changes make time fork to a new timeline, it doesn't magically make things appear and disappear. It doesn't make people in pictures fade in or fade out.

You can go back in time as many times as you want, but you wont change your future, you can create a new future. But your old miserable you will remain miserable in his own timeline and will never notice any changes.

Anyway this is Sci-Fi so anything is possible. :)

Don't forget about the psyco cyan glitch in ff6, a combination of remort, imp, death and life will make him unleash an infinite attack combo until the enemies are dead.

There I fixed it for you.

Yo dawg, I heard you like recursion...

Are you by any chance the creator of the "metric clock" Tycho mentioned?

Please be aware that the metric system uses decimal units, if something uses decimal units, it doesn't mean it uses the metric system.
