    17-or-Bust found a massive prime

    (May 5, 2007)

    Austin, Tx. -- The ``Seventeen or Bust'' distributed computing project
    today announced the discovery of a massive prime number. The new prime is 3.9
    million digits long and stands as the largest non-Mersenne prime ever
    discovered. It is the seventh largest-known prime overall and the tenth such
    discovery for the project in its five year history.
