i have an idea for a community project which will make good use of everybody's super fast Pentium 4 or athlon 64 or whatever the latest processors are. Everybody could participate. We will all test a sorting mechanism. on a list of 10,000 elements, 100,000, the bigger the better.
the sort we will test is bogosort. very simple sort. we shuffle the elements in the list using a random function till we find a combination which is perfectly sorted.
who wants to participate?

I don't have a Pentium 4 and I don't know what a "bogosort" is.

Maybe if you explain a little bit more...

bogosort is an unstable sort which has no use whatsoever in real world. In bogosort, you just randomly shuffle the elements in your unsorted list, and check each time if the list is sorted. It could be sorted in the first try (stranger things have happened) or it could take an eternity. this post was meant as a joke and hence it was in open discussion
