thanks for notifying.
well, i thought it would never end.

it took 1,757 days and some guy from tokyo found the key.

and the asylum race was obviously won by piper:

and this sounds funny:
We tested 15,769,938,165,961,326,592 keys.

[Edit: Curses! ZOX beat me to it! ]

Lessee... 2 is a couple, 3 is a few, and 15,769,938,165,961,326,592 is 15 quintillion, 769 quadrillion, 938 trillion, 165 billion, 961 million, 326 thousand, 5 hundred ninety-two...



Odd behavior; even temperament...

Show your work please! <lol>

doc, i think you can now completely delete the distributed ward forum to save diskspace for the asylum.

oh wow i'm happy to hear that. i don't know why, its just makin' me happy =)

time for 128 bit? GO!

128bit?
hey, we needed more than 4 years for 64bit and that raises potentially.

they are actually talking about 72bit.

There are other distributed computing projects too, doc should make a team for one of those.

behmer

thanks for clearing that up... i dont count to a quintillion very often so i kinda forgot how.

Hmm, my computer at home is still working on it Guess that's one more app I can kill for a little while. And I'll betcha I had the key if I'd uploaded them in time... Or maybe not...
