      No no no. Jaguar was talking about 2^(2^30,402,457 - 1).

        Ehrr, that's a link to one of our products - one that you don't have in canukistan
        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.

          It looks like any other highschool MySQL project...

            Don't mind a bit - that is the typical reaction by people that haven't a clue about the subject .

            If it was so simple, how come that the market isn't swamped with highschool solutions ?

              From the site design, it looks like it is.

              I can see why you think "vi" is an adequate development tool now, seeing the complexity of your work.

                I thought there were hundreds of sites like that one that have been around for years.

                  Please give a link to one of your high school works so we can make a fair comparison

                  Besides, that site is for people without professional skills so I thought it was appropriate for you - professional librarians has other tools. You can consider that site as an advanced google.

                  About my work, well, I don't make the websites so you don't have a clue about my work My work is "behind the wallls".

                  If you want a parallel, then consider a banking system - there are a simple web interface with a lot going on out of your sight. The banking system wins on points because of it's security goals.

                    I'm sorry -- a library system is a simplistic database interface. If it isn't, it isn't designed well.

                    It's a simple system.

                      Ah yes, it must have quite a few figures then. OTOH, I imagine it won't be a prime number anyway (what with it being a power of 2 )

                        Yeah, the "-1" should be outside of the bracket.

                          Asher, how do you guys over there have such good CS education? Seriously. I mean, highschool SQL projects, compiler construction courses in university, that stuff. Over here, we do of course also have high school students capable of writing a SQL query or coding a database interface, but those are all enthusiasts. Schools aren't even supposed to teach the very basics of programming.

                          Which is why universities end up sucking. They start out with a group of 150 students, of which a part have been doing some coding and are thus far more advanced, whereas the rest have never seen a line of code in any comp language. So then they spend the first year teaching the basic programming concepts and the syntax of some language. And leave it at that, later and concurrently going into a lot of math, even go into stuff such as basic assembly language, but don't teach anything at all about real-world programming. Forget the WinMain function, it's all limited to simplistic algorithms running on consoles...

                          So I really envy you guys in countries where it's possible to get a CS degree and learn something useful with direct relevant to CS, and not a CS degree where you get to learn some theory, a load of math, only some of which will be useful, and nothing tat would help you ever code better...

                              Quick question: How many numbers would there be in that number ( 2^(2^30,402,456)) ? It might be a good idea to use words to reply

                                Kuci meant 2^(2^30,402,457 - 1) - 1.

                                Remember that the -1 isn't part of the exponent, because of order of operations. The above number is prime, because of a rule that 2 to a prime number minus one equals another prime. (For example, 2^3 - 1 equals 7, which is prime. 2^7 - 1 equals 127, which is prime, and so on.)

                                How many digits in it?

                                A whole ****ing pile o' digits. It would probably take up about five million computer screens to display it.
