Absolutely. Otherwise, why offer a prize for a billion digit prime

Definitively. But complaining doesn't really do much without a proof. It's easier to
prove a hack (in the form of illegal entry) or spam mail
than proving a troll, because a troll is defined by those being trolled (us) whereas a
hack or a spam is found in different log files.

I wouldn't recommend the "> /dev/null" command. If you start it remotely,
the stdout and stderr usually (but not always) go to e-mail. This way you

I have a proof that x^n+y^n=z^n never has integer solutions for n>2.
However, it won't fit into my signature file
I just noticed that the EFF is now offering $100,000 prize for the first
10,000,000 digit prime. I assume that this means that they consider the
1,000,000 digit prize essentially considered to have been claimed?
