Mersenne: Missing assignement

In my personal account report of yesterday could be read: *** Individual Account Report 11 Feb 2002 21:57 (Feb 11 2002 2:57PM Pacific) --- Exponents Assigned --- Assignment overdue check-in is set at 60.0 days (0.0 days to expire) prime fact current day

Looks like someone finished it: 14421269 66 0x6E664B5F86CB66__12-Feb-02 08:04 Team_Prime_Rib DSheets_50 PS - I'm just thrilled because I found a factor of an exponent that beat my previous record... 101 bit factor. I'm too lazy to look through the cleared exponents list, so

Well, someone did "help" you. The cleared exponents report contains the following line: 14421269 66 0x6E664B5F86CB66__12-Feb-02 08:04 Team_Prime_Rib DSheets_50 Regards Achim -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: "Ignacio Larrosa Cañestro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: <[EMAIL PR

And for all other readers all(?) factors with more than 99 bits which are part of the latest cleared exponents report: 12523547 101 F 3476706399795678069475753699633 12-Feb-02 12:30 madpoo MainBoy 12736037 102 F 6150891764095478416426904114537 14-Jan-02 23:03 krypt fmpc494 13459613 102

Mersenne: RE: Factoring top 10

Okay, those are HUGE factors. Have the predictions on the work eliminated by P-1 factoring been pretty much confirmed by the # of large factors found? In other words, is the extra processing time paying off? I'd hazard a guess that the time saving is indeed appreciable, but I wonder if anyone h

Mersenne: Preventing "hacks"

Well, After long and hard thought on this (approximately 30 seconds), I have the following suggestion: Each team account (could apply to accounts with just one machine as well) should have 2 passwords. A master password that could be used on the web pages to manage exponents on all team machine

Mersenne: Are problems more likely in the last 1% of a 10 gigadigit LL?

HELP! Until this evening I was expecting to see my first result from a LL test on a > 10,000,000-digit Mersenne number tomorrow morning. When I got home from dinner tonight I was seeing a bunch of suminputs != sumoutputs, and after rebooting, the errors switched to round off [4] > 0.40 Was I jus
