Marc Rougier's insight:

Impressive technology developed by Boston Dynamics. (too bad this Wildcat sounds like a mostquitos). Boston Dynamics builds amazing robots (check their site out; the sandflea is really surprising, though not the most scary). Main customer is the US army. http://www.bostondynamics.com/

Math: 17 million digits

Math: 17 million digits | Marc's private collection | Scoop.it
From www.foxnews.com - February 8, 2013 12:34 PM
As part of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS), Curtis Cooper recently discovered the 48th and largest prime number yet found.
Marc Rougier's insight:


And the winner is: 2^57,885,161 - 1.

Mersenne Primes were studied by French monk Mersenne 350 years ago and this is only the 48th one discovered so far. And it tooks lots of computer power.

 If you write down this number in a text file, the file will weight 22 MB :-)


Via Philippe Coste. Thanks!
