102 pages via one of the most annoying PDF readers on the planet? No thanks.

There are good, free, PDF readers for every major operating system and for every major mobile device. I wish people would just link directly to PDFs.

WOW.

Assuming this isn't a hoax, and the proof holds up, this is front-page news kind of big deal.

As I recall, this has way more real-world practical usage than the Fermats Last Theorem proof.

Read the "Consequences of Proof" section in the Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem

[edit] The responses below are correct. Proving P=NP means the world gets turned upside down. P != NP is already sort of assumed.
