Is this anything more than a vanity exercise and waste of electricity? We're not going to learn anything. It's already been proven that pi is irrational. There's no value in more than a few digits; we went to the moon on 3.14 and could traverse the known universe on a couple dozen digits.<p>The first few times someone computed a large number of digits of pi, it was mildly interesting. This has no value whatsoever to anyone.
