Edit: found the color thing!

Better yet, write it as a base-10 number.

See if 2^that number is a Mersenne prime.

Factor that number, and distribute the factors.

Math is unstoppable!

I think my favorite version is the guy who used it as hex code to make a color bar. If I could find that, I'd have put it up instead, but I think it got taken down in a fit of censorship.

2^that number - 1, that is. <.

It isn't - mersenne primes are 2^p - 1, where p is a prime.

(and this number is obviously even, and therefore not prime)

Woe.

However, there's this:

2⁶ * 5 * 19 * 12043 * 216493 * 836256503069278983442067

What?

Read the link, it explains what the number is, and why the Media Mafia is attempting to prevent its publication.

And I find said Media Mafia frankly idiotic. It's not like the code by itself can do anything at all anyhow. I personally wouldn't even know where to start in order to use it! Though I could probably find out pretty fast. And if they hadn't tried to shut it up, I'd never have heard of it.

Those fuckers.
