Sources I have seen say that gasoline is about 1:5 spent to gained efficiency. If you are going to say things atleast do some research to back it up... Oh wait this is slashdot.
Considering the amount of energy required to emit high energy particles and the short distance they can travel outside a vacuum, shooting electrons and reading the radiation would not be a feasible option. This is not even considering introducing large amounts of radiation to the area which you are scanning. How about a giant fan with a bunch of light weight objects and they will run into the invisibility cloak revealing its position. Either than or non ionizing EM waves...
You beat me to it. Eye tracking would be much faster and easier to implement. FTA "I've seen people do up to eight characters per minute." That is ridiculously slow. Using eye tracking and blink to enter a letter would probably be much better.
Agreed. I develop software for airplane flight displays (which also play a part in auto pilot). We do VERY rigorous testing to ensure bug free software.

So he attended a BBQ of a cow with some PTA parents?
Don't forget about the fourth type of poster: PizzaAnalogyGuy!

Demigod is also a lot less fun than DotA and only has 8 different heroes. I had fun with it for a few days.

The best technology for Long-Distance Travel is high speed aircraft.
