MD5 Brute-Forcer

This program was designed to solve the following programming challenge from osix.net

"Sometimes there is no way to solve certain problems except for brute forcing the answer. This is just such a case. The MD5 digest of the MD5 digest of the password is:

2c4972c770836eaf3b237a561b06daaa

Since the aim of this challenge is to teach you how to brute force, and not to take forever to solve, I will give you this hint:

The password consists of all uppercase letters. "

The program prints out the current string that it's testing every 10000 words to keep you from thinking it crashed.

Well for the challenge, I only had to consider uppercase letters. And, yes, this would've been more efficient in something like C++

Add lower case too. Also don't you find that Ruby is slow to do this in?
