Ah, but then some evil genius (probably Doctor Doom or the Master) will come along and stick a "1" on the end, break all our computer systems, and take over the world in the ensuing chaos.
Better not to go there, I think.

Converting IEEE binary64 to binary65, and simultaneously modifying the hardware on every IEEE floating point-compatible machine in the world?
Not even Chuck Norris could do that! 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

N+1 is small fish, for Chuck Norris.

I heard on the radio that the numbers are much shorter than that and repeat almost twice before repeating again.
The entire numeric sequence boils down to 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 3.
So all numbers are technically prime, including 1 in this case.

According to Watership Down (if I recall correctly) the numbers (in full) are 1, 2, 3, 4, thousand.

Or is it 1 2, 1 2. Is this thing on?

Since primes are proven to be limitless, the only interpretation I can draw from this discovery is that we are indeed living in a Matrix, and CERN has just hit its numerical limits! 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

They wanted me for the remote position. I was pretty stoked. They were having the budget meeting to make me an offer, and then the CEO put hiring on hold 
I've been in contact with several head hunters. It's pretty frustrating that you can't keep them from harassing you when you don't want a job, but then you can't get them to answer your emails when you are actually looking. They take your resume, tell you about a few options, and then you never hear from them again.
Either way, this job isn't getting any better. I just wish there was a way out.

Yeah, I am there. It looks like several recruiting agencies post jobs there. I've followed some of those as well.

I don't suppose you're an EE are you? I'm hiring...

I don't know what an EE is, so I'm guessing that I'm not one of those.

I am by no means a UX expert. I've taken some training, but I'm not really a UX'er.
If I can find a job writing utility code/libraries I'd be more than happy.

I can totally relate to that - indeed some of 'em risk to need an update on their business card to headless hunter...

Hang in there loctrice, something will present itself to you, soon enough. Most of us, not all, have been where you are at; it gets better.

Not quite. As a left-hander I'm offended his joke implied that only right-handed people can throw butter.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Easy trigger. We're the only one's in our right mind.
Everyone's born right-handed, but only the best can overcome it.
