... Easy. One's the People's Front of Judea, the other's the Judean Popular Front. However, the Popular Judean People's Front - they're just splitters! ...
The idea to rate projects with a score based on the size of the #5000 prime seemed like a good one at the time... The funny thing is that in the last couple of...
... Shane was banned from mersenneforum, thus he is not welcomed there. It started with him accusing GW of writing bad software, i.e. prime95, because of the...
... It only stands to reason that as the size of the #5000 prime grows, we lose ground. And every time anyone (even a PIES project member) finds a new prime...
... One thing that I was forgetting is that everytime I get paranoid about project progress, and make some post about that, then magically you guys keep...
Is the overseis v 0.9 ready for production distribution? I looked in the Yahoo files and only saw v0.7F. Can I pick up a copy and replace the 0.7F I'm using? ...
... Absolutely. I've not uploaded the final "0.9" binary, but in the Bleeding Edge section of the files are there's a "0.9 pre" version which can't do proofs. ...
The 49th was a long time back, but finally number 50 has appeared. Assuming maxerrs stay sane, we're well on track for finding 130 in total, as ranges summing...
... It actually boosted it to 3322, as I scribbled down my notes this morning, but it appear that ratings fade has already taken a bite out of that. (And taken...
I'm not having much luck navigating through the PIES web page using lynx (character based surfer since I'm on a ssh connection). Is there an ftp equivalent for...
I just killed overseis.p3 (v0.7F) and re-started overseis.09.ath. Two questions: 1) While running in background (invoked with &), it constantly outputs 5 or 6...
Also, the output sent to the log file (I checked it is outputting to log), is also printed at the cursor on the scrren from a background process. Thanks, BobH ...
Try piping the output to a file, i.e. overseis.09.ath input_file > output_msgs & It should work the way you want it to although I haven't tried it. David ... ...
Not being one who even remotely understands Phi(x,y) and it's applications, I have to ask: Wouldn't the record prime seekers have better luck if they somehow ...
... Yes, it might help, but it would would not make the search trivial. As the numbers get bigger, the time it takes to check each candidate rises, and the...
... If I was the kind of person who could simply pick up 60000 volunteers, then I'd start a religion or a revolution or something, not a prime hunting project!...
... Ah, now I remember why I don't like implementing new features. Every feature that one person wants, another person doesn't! The latest version has fairly...
It appears that overseis.09.ath DOES NOT prove. That is: overseis.09.ath -t -q 24576 1832399501400 does NOT state this is prime, whereas: overseis.p3 -t -q...
... A noble sentiment. Reminds me of http://www.chesterton.org/qmeister2/3acrescow.htm but now everyone deserves "3 primes and a pie". David PS: I was going to...
... Apparently so. I did notice a few increased maxerrs, but also one or two decreased maxerrs. I wonder if catastrophic rounding has taken place. I shall...
Phil, when I use: overseis.09.ath -o "31 0" -r -l logfil abcfil.abc to start the new version, I get the following message. Want "ABC Phi(%i,$a)" or "ABC...
I just downloaded overseis.20051021.tgz After tar xzvf overseis.20051021.tgz and cd'ing to the overseis directory created, what commands need to be issued to...

Congrats to Jeff for the ton: Phi(3,-15857346648204096) 99945 f18 Nov 2005 Generalized unique (<100000 digits?!?!?) 100 super-cherries took us just over 4...
