            <description><![CDATA[We are aware of the issues saving your preferences (the message states that the changes have been saved, which doesn't actually happen), and are working to resolve the issue. It has been reported that logging out and in again helps, so you might try that as a workaround.
	UPDATE: as of 16:00 UTC preferences saving should work.]]></description>

            <title>Sieve WU lengths increased</title>

            <description><![CDATA[In an attempt to lower the size of the database, we have increased the WU length to both the PSP Sieve and GCW Sieve projects.  WU's are now 1.5X as long...so a 6 minute WU now takes 9 minutes.  Credit has been adjusted accordingly.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Nicolas has posted a standalone PrimeGrid screensaver application which is going to be included within the next science application update. We are looking for people to try it out on their computers so that we know it runs fine before we publish it project-wide.

	It is obvious that without computers we would find our life extremely difficult, maybe even impossible. If they disappeared for just one day, would we be able to cope?
	Be part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the Internet. The idea behind Shutdown Day is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate!
	Shutdown your computer on 03 May 2008 and find out! Visit shutdownday.org and join the campaign!
	(And before you ask - no, PrimeGrid server isn't going down on that day)]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[On 23 Mar 2008 7:57:28 UTC, PrimeGrid, in collaboration with 321 Search, found another Mega Prime:
	3*24235414-1
	The prime is 1,274,988 digits long and enters The Largest Known Primes Database ranked 14th overall. This is 321 Searches's first mega prime and 11th prime overall.  It is the second largest found mega-digit prime using LLR.
	The discovery was made by Dylan Bennett of Canada using an Intel C2D @ 1.66 GHz with 2GB RAM. This computer took almost 15 hours and 30 minutes to complete the primality test.
	For more details, please see the official announcement.  Decimal representation of the number is also available.]]></description>

            <title>Updated statistics for prime finders</title>

            <description><![CDATA[We have released an updated prime finder statistics page, which now counts primes find in all subprojects. The prime numbers are assigned a score which differs according to prime number size, so a giant Woodall prime is "worth" more than a smaller TPS prime. The next step in improving statistics is to show the participants all the primes that have been found, which isn't yet available in the current version, but is coming soon.]]></description>
