George Woltman, of the great internet mersenne
prime search (GIMPS) has announced that the program
has reported a new prime.  We have had one false
positive out of the last 6 Mersenne primes discovered,
so lets stand by.  The confirmation is running
right now, so we should hear in a couple weeks.

Ah, life is goooooood.
