You mean, besides the fact that the author's understanding of even the basics of the factoring problem is appalling? I factored his "32-minute" number in about 30 seconds in my head!

Not so long ago the astounding news was that someone had used a five bit quantum computer to factor 15!! Much longer ago I recall when people were demonstrating a little plastic cube which had a !transistor! embedded in it along with a little speaker and a theromocouple. It squealed when you held it between your fingers. Totally, absolutely amazing! Don't forget Moore's Law. - hvm ------------------------------------------------- Obtén tu correo en www.correo.unam.mx UNAMonos Comunicándonos
