P=NP?  That one was knocked off at least three weeks ago in net.math and
net.research by one Palith Balakrishnabati [1].  He used a result
due his advisor, N. Karmarkar.  The same Karmarkar that snagged the very
big LP result.  Balakrishnabati's result is a real tour de force.
It combines algebraic geometry, Boyce-Codd normal form, probabilistic number
theory, differential topology, and theoretical CAD/CAM.
