Possible Issues With the P != NP Proof 147

Posted by Soulskill from the intuitively-obvious-to-the-most-casual-observer dept.
An anonymous reader writes "We previously discussed news that Vinay Deolalikar, a Principal Research Scientist at HP Labs, wrote a paper that claimed to prove P is not equal to NP. Dick Lipton, a Professor of Computer Science at Georgia Tech, analyzed the idea of the proof on his blog. In a recent post, he explains that there have been many serious objections raised about the proof. The post summarizes the issues that need to be answered in any subsequent development, and additional concerns are raised in the comment section."

Welcome back! I haven't posted or hardly read the comment threads in a long while for similar reasons. Why get involved if you can only do it halfway (or less)? But today get got an e-mail about a new user journal update! :-) The achievements are still somewhat new. Somewhere around April Fools Day I believe. Goofy but still kind cool.
