Why did you [http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=Scientific_method&curid=2218&diff=23247&oldid=22770&rcid=21899 remove references to setiathome or einsteinathome]?

Why did you remove references to setiathome or einsteinathome?

'even' the mersenne project could be interesting to the typical question: 'Which is the largest prime number?' we've all asked at one point or another... --Xavi 12:45, 30 January 2007 (EST)
