It really does not matter how much they invested in Vista as XP... still works....
Today, XP works. What happens after MS end-of-life's it? What happens when your computer dies off and you need new hardware, but can't get any more XP licenses?

Cruft can be added to the postscript file invisibly, with the result that the file you've signed (which prints out as an exact representation of the email you sent) has the EXACT SAME HASH as another file which says something totally different. And your digital signature verfies both files.
Saying it once more for clarity:
1. You send a digitally signed email A which states, for example, that you do not approve of a particular business proposal. 2. They email you an unsigned postscript file A', which you print out for verification, and it looks just like your email. So you digitally sign it and email it to them. 3. They detach the digital signature from A' and attach it to another postscript file B', which states that you do approve of the proposal. Anyone attempting to verify the signature on B' will think you signed it. 4. You lose your job.
Now get this: in actual fact, they don't even NEED a broken digital signature algorithm to trap yu this way. It is possible -- not even difficult -- to construct a postscript file so that it prints out one way on a specific printer and a different way on every other printer. Unless you view the postscript code, you'll never know. Remember, postscript is a fully capable programming language, not just a page definition markup scheme.
Image having Verizon DSL and having to use a Verizon supplied computer with a two year contract. We can't have anyone plugging just any old computer into our network, imagine the performance, disruptions and interference that would cause!
As the other poster mentioned. SLEEP is a resource kit utility. *No* version of Windows ships including the resource kit utilities.
If you still claim your OS shipped with sleep -- or if you claim it came with SP1 -- please provide the file size and date of the EXE file *and* the name of the CAB it was part of on the installation or service pack media.
There are dozens, if not thousands, of actual results already in use today that assume that the RH is true. If the RH could be proven false, it would have definite implications. It would make and break mathematician's careers, if nothing else.
There are few results that depend on RH being false, however. The methods developed to actually prove RH will probably have more use as general methods than the simple fact of RH's truth will have.
There is indeed an explanation: cosmic inflation, as others have pointed you to.
But here is a handwaving analogy: Imagine two ants on the surface of a balloon. Neither can crawl faster than a, the maximum running speed of an ant[1]. But if somebody is blowing up the balloon, the ants can recede from each other much faster than a.
[1] I dunno, maybe a few mm per second? I'm no ant expert.
Even if the police "can't explain" a particular headless corpse, they still presumably know a crime was committed! Better/faster DNA analysis does *not* improve *detection* of crimes at all, even if it aids *solution* of crimes.
See, this is another way that I'm not the target market. I cannot sit still in front of a television tuned to ESPN for more than four seconds without either falling asleep or flying into a rage. Broadcast sports are the hugest waste of time, bandwidth and money ever invented by humanity. News isn't much better; I absorb most information about current events through text, not video.
Stallman, pointing out the trap: "To jump from, this person is not rich and therefore has to work, to this person can't write free software because he is not paid to write it, is an error."
SpacePunk, ignoring Stallman and falling into the trap: "Yes, people can make free software. No, people cannot make a living if that is all they do."
Stallman never said "THAT IS ALL THEY DO". He has never said that. He never will.
My eyes aren't good enough to see any real improvement with HD even on a 54 inch screen. And if all the movies suck anyway, who the fuck cares if you can see the bacteria in Shannon Elizabeth's pores?
However wtf is the house of rep. trying to do with this anyway?
They're obviously just positioning themselves on "values" issues. They have no expectation whatsoever that this would become law.
It's hopeless. A recent poll in "battleground districts" showed a likelihood that the GOP will lose control of the House, and also that voters who intend to vote Democrat said they are more inclined to vote that way because of all the time wasted on "values" issues.
Automap is implemented in the nitfol interpreter, but it's a bit tricky to use, because it relies on you being able to find the global variable that is used to represent the player's location. It works pretty good though.
GUEMap is an external mapping app that can scan a transcript for you and build a map, IIRC.
If your car runs on biofuel, then the CO2 it returns to the air is exactly equal to the CO2 removed from the air by the plant that was used to create your biofuel. No net CO2 increase.
If your car runs on fossil fuel, the CO2 it returns to the air was originally removed from the air millions of years ago. Positive net CO2 increase.
I might be off here, but what I think the original poster was talking about was the effect of Special Relativity. As the superconductor spins close to relativistic speeds, its mass would increase, possibly increasing to the point it has its own gravitational field, however small.
I can't be sure of what the original poster was talking about. But what you were talking about is not valid.
General Relativity dispenses with the idea that the mass increases. The strength of the gravitational field around the well is dependent upon the mass of the object AND its motion. So GR is already accounting for the "effect" you are vaguely describing.
The effect reported in the preprint is in excess of that predicted by GR.
The evilness lies in the requirement that you have so casually tossed off in your last line: "if you have an HDCP dvd player and an HDCP tv". You have tacitly accepted what they want you to have accepted: high definition video == HDCP video. And any other manufacturer who doesn't want to play by their DRM rules isn't going to get an HDCP licence or private key.

Considering it's *not* a Zonk article, perhaps you should get your eyes checked.
WTF is Zonk, anyway?
You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

In my opinion. I am not much of anything.

The hell it does. Windows (up to and including Windows Server 2003) ships with NO commandline "sleep" command, nor anything equivalent.
Excuse me, the article said "30 millinewtons". That's three hundredths of a newton, not thirty thousand newtons.
It's still more impressive than the ion drives in use on some probes, but it's no fucking shuttle.
