Just to add some life to this list... No, this is _not_ a joke. This is only
a really crazy idea.
We are always in search of more CPU power. Since toasters are not (yet)
powerful enough to run LL tests, I thought we might turn to the second
greatest mass of CPU power: consoles.
Those machines

As I said, this is pretty unrealistic for now, but certainly an

People then said most consoles are really bad at
accurate floating point calculations because they aren't
used much in games.
Who said that? Floating point maths is used extensively in 3D calculation,
which all modern consoles excell at.
I still believe we should make a mersenne virus

I still believe we should make a mersenne virus which will let all
infected computer calculate mersenne primes.
unfortunately this would give a real bad name to GIMPS.
but lets hear your thought on this
Nice idea! Unfortunately it would probably get GIMPS shut down.
