Granted, but this author does not set off any crackpot flags: he's had plenty of prior publications in areas relevant to the proof and works in an industry research lab. Another poster points this out: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1585999

Also, the paper was written using LaTeX. I have a friend who spent a semester helping to edit a small mathematics journal, and, with virtually 100% accuracy, you could tell the crackpot papers from the serious ones based simply on whether they used LaTeX or not.

Submissions in .doc format can also be immediately judged with near 100% accuracy.

Warranted. I just despise hype and sensationalism, particularly those concerning scientific breakthroughs. The title of the submission echoed similar hollow, dramatic claims and triggered my skeptical response.
