I'm on a roll tonight. Here's another one from me. Sorry guys, but this one
was just too plain freaky to be a coincidence.

I can see it now, George will be asking all you hardware guys how to
optimize version 118 for the 65536-bit Intel superconductor architecture.
The hardware guys better start working on this stuff, software guys like
these sort of gifts :)

And darn fine it is too. And all true ya know. There's only one leap of
faith required for it all to be possible (subspace), ok, maybe the
transporter is something else, but E=mc^2 makes that already seem like fact.
I had to stop myself going into Star Trek mode on my last post. Paul saved
me the embarrassment because I would have made a mess of it.

Erm, Paul.... it *is* an LL test. I forgot the mod N, but there's no charge
for that :)

... and it's "*the*" LL test as well. Freaky, eh? But surely not the world's
least interesting? Let's go Star Trek with it, this uninteresting,
line-segment Julia set is folded in subspace (ok, modulo N space, it's
getting late and I really need a trek fix right now) into an LL test. I just
posted that... how strange. Great minds think alike, and all that.

A very different LL test, but still an LL test. A lucid dream, most
definitely, but perhaps a catalog of all the Lucas pseudoprimes
discriminant -1 (so of the form 4n+3)?

I love the list server when the "preceding article" arrives afterwards. Some
relativistic effect, obviously.

Or maybe worse. One might board the hapless ship and find Bill Gates rather
than Montgomery Scott suspended in the transporter pattern buffer...
Enough already, I'm probably already in too many people's killfiles than is
healthy.
Chris Nash etc etc....
