• k2xl: in 1998, i made a C++ program to calculate pi to a billion digits.
  • k2xl: i coded it on my laptop (pentium 2 i think) and then ran the program.
  • k2xl: the next day i got a new laptop but decided to keep the program running.
  • k2xl: it's been over seven years now since i ran it. and this morning it finished calculating.
  • k2xl: the output:
  • k2xl: "THE VALUE OF PI TO THE BILLIONTH DIGIT IS = "
  • k2xl: mindblowing eh?
  • k2xl: i looked in the code of my program, and i found out that i forgot to output the value :(.
