Congratulations...

...to Bill Gates, Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

...and to GIMPS, in particular Dr Martin Nowak, for discovering the 42nd known Mersenne prime!

...and to Yahoo on their tenth anniversary.  They have a cool netrospective of the last ten years here.  Aah, sweet nostalgia.  Remember when Yahoo looked like this?  Blimey, I had almost forgotten that Mosaic and Netscape used to display web pages with a grey background by default...
