"On February 19, distributed.net began project OGR-28, the challenge to discover the Optimal Golomb Ruler with 28 marks. The previous challenge, OGR-27, is almost complete, with only 9 stubs remaining to be processed, as of February 19. People participating in that challenge do not need to update their client, as it can also process stubs for the new challenge."

    Even after reading the Wikipedia article, without a degree in EE I have a hard time imagining how this could ever be useful.

    There is an excellent example on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golomb_ruler#Practica l_applications [wikipedia.org] page that shows how using a Golomb ruler, a conference room can be designed to have the maximum number of possible configurations. More links are provided there to other uses.
