One of the 'fun' aspects of running a math blog is that you get to see Word documents containing "proofs" of unresolved problems or the existence of God or Allah. A true glimpse into madness.

When I finally prove the Riemann Hypothesis it will be presented in HTML5 and Javascript with interactive graphs.

This is from 2008. Could you add (2008) to the title?

I enjoyed the author's Beijing/Chinatown metaphor in point 10.

I probably disagree on the Tex one. I know several people with PhDs in engineering and science disciplines who have never used Tex. Several of them know enough math to at least make a reasonable stab at a few of the problems, even if they are unlikely to be successful.

Most of the points require reading the whole paper first, isn't it?

I wonder if there is a context in which preparing a document in TeX would be a strong indicator that you don't know what you're talking about?

Are mathematicians going to be using TeX in a hundred years? Two hundred? Five hundred? Two thousand?
Math is timeless. TeX may be, but it's too soon to say. It's a recent invention. It's only been around for 35 years.
