Re: Mersenne: GIMPSers in the news
Hiya Ernst, http://www.4thestate.co.uk/cipherchallenge/ There's also a good article in the Daily Telegraph:- http://www.telegraph.co.uk:80/et?ac=000785383641742rtmo=LlLdbL3datmo=gg3Kpg=/et/00/10/12/wswed12.html Cheers, Paul Landon Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 11:59:35 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mersenne: GIMPSers in the news Check out: http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/10/12/britain.code.reut/index.html Of course, for me to claim Paul Leyland and Torbjorn Granlund as GIMPSers is a bit like the flea saying it owns the dog, but both have had (direct or indirect) involvement with the project in the past. Does anyone know the URL of the cracking project website mentioned in the above article?

Re: Mersenne: GIMPSers in the news
Dear Ernst, The site you want is http://www.4thestate.co.uk/cipherchallenge/ The competition is from a book called "The Code Book" by Simon Singh, and I enjoyed reading it immensely. It's about the history of cryptography and code breakers, from ancient Egypt to the modern day. Kind Regards, Alex. P.S. HP have promised us an IA-64 box by Christmas, if you are still interested.
