11751 for me - which is a large number, but no prime number: It is 3 * 3917

 

[Quick_Nick]

1137 = 3*379

 

[Unstung]

I currently have 499 posts which is a prime number and 1 short of 500.

EDIT: Also, I found this great quote:
"Mankind is advanced technically. Man can build space stations, can assemble them in space, and ponders about landing on Mars, but the development of mankind itself seems to stagnate on stone age level." - Sigmund Jähn

2,335.

The prime factors are 5 and 467.

The factorial (2335!) is 9.026302384e6852.

And the author is far too far out of practise in mathematics, because it took him fully 10 minutes to figure out the prime factors. :facepalm:

GO BEARS!

I have a thing or two I could say about the Bears... :lol:

 

[FSXHD]

The Packers and Bears are overrated. The game is underrated.

125 is... is... is...

5 cubed? :facepalm:

Landing an XR5 without breaking anything feels cool.
:RnR1:

:edit: Excellent, 125 is interesting after all:

125 and 126 form a Ruth-Aaron pair under the second definition in which repeated prime factors are counted as often as they occur.

Try doing it with damaged wings, no ailerons and very little fuel... and 2000km of semi-gliding flight

You have to fly using the centre of gravity controls, roll with RCS, save as much fuel as possible for the final hover-assisted landing and did I mention it's almost impossible to glide with 500 tons of cargo in the back? (not realistic to try and jettison them either)

And I made it safely with a 1.0m/s landing With people watching

Suspicious footage of last year volcanic eruption in Iceland

Look at all the shockwaves coming from went. I bet it was not a natural eruption, but a cover for a secret test of very large rocket engine.

If rocket engines cause detonation waves, you have a defect. Rocket engines are only permitted to cause shock waves. And only as many normal shocks as tolerable (ideal would be zero), while having many oblique expansion fans is good (normal shocks slow the flow down, oblique shocks / expansion fans accelerate and redirect the flow)

But there is really a strong similarity between a rocket engine and a volcanic eruption: Just watch a SRB test.

Ahhhhhhh, the satisfaction...

Just finished rendezvousing with the ISS without any autopilots, other than the "normals", prograde and retrograde!

No local light sources sadly, college computers can't cope with 2010. (And yes, it is my lunch-break, not work-time!)

Random thought: I never knew haggis was banned in the USA!

 

[Wishbone]

Lutefisk was IIRC also banned in one of the states (Wisconsin??)

I never knew haggis was banned in the USA!

Huh, what? Who are these US-english-labelled things for then?

I never knew either. Compared to what McDonalds is permitted to sell, Haggis is healthy food. And it puts ink on your pen.

Did you also serve at FFMPEG? :lol:

Random thought: Do not ever mix Chinese and Japanese food together. A Sino-Japanese war would break out in your stomach.

Random Rant: A human Brain is capable of storing 25 Petabytes of information they said, but they never mentioned that the memory capability for that is long-term-associative ones, not immediate-fast-recall ones :/ and somehow the med school wants me to store over a 100 perabytes of information lol

I'm sick of memorising stuff or remembering stuff I don't need and the only thing I save in memory (Alt F, A) are happy thoughts

This keeps most of my internal memory free and tidy

Too bad Mexico and Italy never had a war. There is no historical analogue to describe what is happening to me.
