Congratulations to The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (http://www.mersenne.org/prime.htm) (GIMPS)! They have made extraordinary finds within two weeks of each other after going almost two years without a prime. We certainly marvel at this wonderful achievement. They are currently working on finding a suitable press outlet. More details will be announced early next week. The big question...is either one 10 million digits or more to claim the Electronic Frontier Foundation $100,000 award (http://www.eff.org/awards/coop)? :) For more information, please visit the GIMPS (http://www.mersenne.org/prime.htm) site. Again, congratulations!!!
