Hi Everyone!

[Cunt]

Quick question. What's the largest prime number in the binary system?

Quick answer - the same as the largest prime number in any number system.

To expand a bit, I don't think anyone yet knows about a largest prime...although there will be a 'current largest discovered prime' available.

There are an infinite number of primes - the proof is relatively simple - there is no largest prime.

So does this encompass (Cantor's?) tran-finites?


Awww, forget it, I just like arguing...

Seeing as how 0 and 1 are not divisible by 2....

Assume that there is a largest prime number. Call it P.

Multiply together all of the prime numbers up to and including P. Call the resultant product, X.

Add 1 to X.

Now, since X is a multiple of every prime number, X + 1 is not a multiple of any of them. Hence, either X + 1 is prime, or it is the multiple of 2 or more primes greater than P.

This contradicts our original assumption that P is the largest prime, therefore, there can be no largest prime.


Or some shit...

Everyone is much more friendly here, thanks to all for the kind welcomes.

Meanwhile, here's a comment about me that has got a free pass on RatSkep:

anyone who supports it is pure scum and a cancer on the spine of humanity should be put against a wall and shot

Fucking clowns.

What is "it"?

"It" is a scheme for unemployed people to get unpaid work experience placements. I had a few reservations about it, but I was openly supportive of it in principle, so I'm apparently scum and cancer and need to be shot.

Needless to say, the personal attack on me remains uncensured.

Bollocks with brass knobs on. Who are these unemployed people you talk about, are they the construction workers who work in all weathers and have lost their jobs, do they need work experience? Do the teaching assistants and other public workers who have lost their jobs need work experience? No they do not but you and your friends in this Tory government you support will make them work for nothing to get work experience, your taking the piss.

Hasn't been the same since they hanged Oliver Cromwell, has it?

I'm not Cromwell's biggest fan I must say.

So the fact that he was hung should cheer you up.

And I think he was quite the dick myself. Monomaniac.
