It's even easier to fix than that. Only the OS is meant to write WM_TIMER messages to the queue, so Post/SendMessage could filter out any attempts to post WM_TIMER. Simple.
If the heatsink on the hot side of the coolchip isn't radiating as much heat as the CPU is producing then (assuming the coolchips heat pumping properties work) the hot side of the coolchip will keep getting hotter until the radiation of the heatsink matches the heat output by the CPU.
... or until the electric field from the cool side to the hot side is big enough that the tunnelling current drops off.
Maybe I'm being naive, but isn't the best way to get your way politically to take a more active part? There's nothing stopping you from joining the local Democrat party and pressuring Hollings from there. Or, stand against him. You'll probably lose, but at least you'll be heard.
You couldn't generate power for free from vehicles passing along a road - the energy would have to come from somewhere. Any system you come up with would cause increased drag, killing fuel efficiency. Remember that little ol' law of thermodynamics - you can't get something for nothing.
Erm, I don't think it's a hoax. I know of the people who are in charge of the project. They are at least who they say they are. Their claims are hopelessly optimistic though.

My company just banned the use of encryption as soon as it got wind of it. Doh!
AFAIK the RIP bill allows the government to access any digital information anywhere. Business can't access your home mail, though.
