so still job hunting... been reading alot more scientific articles lately... cant wait for unofficial

I'm starting to think that I do Geeky things...
today's example, after reading a few web articles in the Physical Review Letters as a result of taking interest in an article concerning computational methods about turblances, I stumbled upon an article about the P (easy to find) vs NP (easy to check) mathmatical problem inwhich a mathmatical horrific situation was discussed: how many possiblities are there in assiging 100 dorms (occupied by 2 students each) for 400 students and of which a lengthy list of uncompattable students must be takend into account of... the number of arrangement appearantly are greater than the total number of atoms in the universe.
Take simply the factorial of 100 as a number of possibilities for simplification... i.e. 100! our galaxy contains in theory 10^69 atoms at most.. the universe contains about a trillion times (10^12) atoms as our galaxy, theoretically...i.e. 10^81 atoms in the universe maximum, theoretically ofcourse..
just to see how big 100! really is, i googled the number, which resulted in 9.33262154 × 10^157... so i then discoverd that google has an internal calulator function... and then I wondered how big of a number google can compute... 200! is too big.. 150! google can compute.. anything too big would result in google saying that it couldnt find an article on the number, or would throw up some articles in an attempt to otherwise not tell me that google has its limits in computational capability... i kept entering numbers in a high-low method to see what i got.. to the precision of between 170.6243769563027! and 170.6243769563028! being the limits..
its to that point that i got pretty tired of figuring out the limit to any great precision... but when i enterd 170.6243769563028! as a high limit, google couldn't compute this factorial.. instead of giving me an error (since google shall not admit to being limited), it referd me to a cached texted article, or geek blog before written before blogs were known as blogs, i.e. before non-geeks wrote blogs.. and the article said:
"Google now has a built-in calculator that can do some pretty handy stuff, namely unit conversions....And in case you’re wondering, it doesn’t throw an error when you try to divide by zero (it just pretends not to notice and does a web search instead), and the highest number you can find the factorial of is somewhere between 170.6243769563027 and 170.6243769563028 (I’m guessing it’s irrational, and I got tired of entering decimals. Can someone tell me if this is a magic number of some sort?..."
AND I thought, damn the guy who wrote that blog is a GEEK! then I thought, wait, I just did the same thing this geek did... so I guess I'm a geek... So I'm a dancing socialholic geek who you'll find at the bars... interesting...
