Before you continued with your assignment, did you try setting prime95 to do a complete test?

Presumably other Knight-Ridder papers ran it, being that it was written by Doug Bedell of the Dallas Morning News, which is another Knight-Ridder paper. Essentially it's a comparison of the different distributed computing efforts with a short blurb on GIMPS in the middle. http://www.phillynews.com/inquirer/2000/Jan/13/tech.life/DIST13.htm - -Marc Marc Getty [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.temple.edu/dentistry/di/ Department of Dental Informatics, Temple University School of Dentistry Phone : 215-707-8192 Fax: 215-707-2208 New Building Room 3C05 _________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2000 14:54:26 +0000 From: "Steinar H.

Enter 9876 (the value is in README.TXT too). Now you can check `Tray Icon'. You'd also want `Windows 98/95 service', so it runs even if you're not logged in. /* Steinar */ - -- Homepage: http://members.xoom.com/sneeze/ _________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2000 23:59:00 -0800 (PST) From: poke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mersenne: Space Avaliable...

Hi, forgive this off post please. Does anyone have any idea why the 23 letter of the alphebet is called double-u? It is the only letter with more than one sylable. W is three sylables. I thought that it might have been called dub'l-yoo when explaining to a child how to write the letter. Two U's. Double-U. But a printed W is more like two V's. So shouldn't it be called Double-V? Makes sense to me. I have been trying to find out why the letter W is called double-u. I have looked at the online dictionaries, Encyclopedia's, Excite search... under double U, dub-a-you dub'l-yoo etc... with no explantions so far. I would really like to get to the bottom of this. Can anyone help? Thanks.
