A new prime number was found. The interesting thing is how it was found. I guess there is a program that makes peoples computers work together to make a super computer. Apparently, This group of computers can do in one day what it would take 1 regular computer to do in 7 years (That's what my brother told me anyways). I thought that was kinda cool. Oh...and if your computer help discovers a new primenumber (over 10 million digits) there is a $100,000 reward. If you split that up between the users, it's about $5000 a peice.
