Perhaps someone could explain this P vs. NP stuff to a normal not-yet-student? And, this program, what features are required to prove his theory? Thanks in advance, Olav On Thu, 02 Nov 2000, you wrote:

Isn't that a little general? Possibly jumping to some hasty conclusions about P versus NP as well?
