This exact same message was posted to this group some months back,
presumably by the same poster. That time he got the response he
wanted. This time, hopefully, this obvious troll will be ignored.

A method for factoring large prime numbers. This would compromise national
security because anyone could break the RSA cryptosystem. Anyone in
possession of the secret would be hunted down by the CIA and killed.
Obviously they would make it look like someone else had done it.

Too late. Bill Gates is already working on that, and he can throw a lot
more resource at the problem than you can.

So *that's* what happened! I knew Bill wouldn't retire without good
reason! Jason Foxtrot must have been getting too close to the secret,
so they must have forced Bill to lie low!

The "method for factoring large prime numbers" is simple
and well known. It is to write down the number that you
started with. I think that you meant something else, but
you should have said so.

A bit too easy. Consider the number of factors for a prime number.

Every once in a while on this newsgroup
somebody posts code that looks like this:

#define P printf
#define R return
#define W while
#define F for

If you google in this newsgroup
on the phrase "thousand tears"
or the phrase "Joona gets upset"
you can probably see an entire one of those programs.
Be careful if you decide to try to look at whole one.

Why are you going out of your way to kill people? Doesn't it just happen
naturally?

Examples:

a)The Therac-25 disaster.

b)Drive-by-wire and fly-by-wire are now established technologies. Sooner or
later there will be a software bug. (And let's not mention traffic lights,
air-traffic control systems, and GPS-ILS systems, which all have a heavy
software component.)

When software (which can't be engineered to 100% reliability) is mixed with
important systems, don't the disasters flow naturally?

Why do you have to try?

On the DS9K, you have several ways to do that, but they are not
portable. On PCs they would probably just segfault.

Clearly, another important application of fatality via the C language
is to killfile through the use of C.
If a C program can be so constructed to detect the combination of
"whinging" and "twit" simultaneously then we set the first indicator.
Then, if we see a powerful indication of "refusal to learn at any
cost" we set the second and final indicator.
These two indicators put into motion a "symbolic poleaxing" of the
culprit, as they fall to the bottom of the killfile.
The last operation of the C program is to puts() the string "*plonk*"
and then exit with EXIT_SUCCESS and we have a real triumph of
engineering.

Right. I can factor a prime number in a heartbeat. It's the ones
composed of two very large factors that give me cross-eyed hissy fits.

For instance, given:
460878891534124 228795052665486 706031703635102 175804855637308 120313819182469 137311099856240 628115837825286 498493561436529

It takes a while to come up with:
678880616555020 098325362522901 678303998696626 187953295533977 ^2
