      Finding a fast factoring algorithm, OTOH, will.
      Why don't you go change some people's passwords for them and let the real computer scientists do the talking.

        Oooh, I have an idea! How about 2 to the M30402457 minus one! Let's put 1000 computers to work calculating that and waste a big ****ing pile o' time!
        You couldn't store that number in a computer the size of the universe.

              With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                      That is what I with you, Asher. You are not afraid of displaying your lack of knowledge

                        I wrote a library system in high school.

                            Good boy - you are allowed to take a cookie to your glass of milk.

                            Why don't you corner the market for library systems with your high school system ? I'm sure that Asher's Library System will swoop across the world and in a few months will dominate totally !!!

                            As stated earlier, I just the way to manage to display your lack of knowledge.

                                Why would you want to corner a market in a market that is becoming obsolete?

                                Libraries are becoming less useful as work is digitized. You'd have to be stupid to start work in such a field today.
