Last week, the American TV show Elementary (a TV who-done-it) was about the=
 murder of two mathematicians who were working on proof of P=3DNP. The impl=
ications to crypto, and being able to "crack into servers" was covered. It =
was mostly accurate, up until the deux ex machine of the of the NSA hiding =
all the loose ends at the last minute.  :)  Fun and available at http://www=
