The next few sentences after the one you posted cast even more doubt on the claim:
Minato says that average efficiency on his motors is about 330 percent.
Mention of Over Unity devices in many scientific circles will draw icy skepticism. But if you can accept the idea that Minato's device is able to create motion and torque through its unique, sustainable permanent magnet propulsion system, then it makes sense that he is able to get more out of the unit than he puts in in terms of elctrical power. Indeed, if the device can produce a surplus of power for longer periods, every household in the land will want one.
Plus, what if the accelerator sticks? The black box evidence would just show that you didn't release the accelerator. If fact, that could have happened in this case. It happens moreoften than you'd think.
The Yahoo article cut off the entire bit about the limits of the study from the second page of the Reuters posting: STUDY LIMITED
The authors said the study had some limitations.
The television viewing data came from the parents and may not be completely accurate. Also, there is no way to know whether the children already had attention problems early on that attracted them to TV viewing, though symptoms don't appear that early, it said.
It was also possible the parents who allowed excessive TV viewing were themselves distracted and neglectful, creating a household that fostered attention problems in the children. Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder has a high heritability level, the study said.
And the study did not look at what kinds of programs the children watched.
"Despite these limitations our results have some important implications if replicated in future studies," it said. "First we (have) added inattention to the previously studied deleterious consequences of excessive television viewing... (and) our findings suggested that preventive action can be taken."
From what I've heard the beta versions run on smaller single servers and don't harness the full power of Google's server farms. Note the disclaimer on labs.google.com that says: Please note: These technologies are still in the beginning stages of development, so they may disappear without warning or perform erratically. If something's not working on this page, please come back and try it again later.
Not really a troll. He's just trying to be funny. If you read his subject, his intention was to be like a sarcastic version of the (awful!) movie Armageddon with Ben Afflec. It seems obvious when you realize that the original article IS ABOUT NEA 2004 FH. This is NOT another asteroid!
And if you click the 30 km mmeters link, it goes to a Google conversion of 30,000 meters equalling 30 meters. All just silliness. Laugh?
Since the whole purpose of this probe would be to detect life, I would think they'd be attempting to insert a probe at a location most likely to support life. The surface is frozen, but many scientists hope that there is liquid water underneath, and this probe is designed specifically to melt its way down to the warmer regions and then look for life near likely locations like geothermal vents. Now that I think of the probe melting ice, the probe itself will have to be heated which would be enough to 'wake' the bacteria up.

Melting Europa

Not that seriously. The first Apollo mission found the moon to be sterile, but later Apollo missions found strep bacteria from previous missions.
Bacterial contamination is a real danger to life and to accurate science on Europa and lake Vostok. It is extremely difficult to keep a robotic probe from carrying contamination since modern electronics can't take the extreme heat needed to kill resilient strains (which since they're so resilient would make them even more harmful). Scientists have been putting more effort into trying to figure out how to explore Europa without contamination, but are having a tough time coming up with a solution.
Maybe they could make it less annoying using some kind of learning AI. They could put it on the street and then select for melodies that add coins to the hat and remove sequences that get the robot kicked or beaten. Of course, around here the bums keep misplaying the same damn tunes year after year regardless of the outcome.
The only reason he is doing is this because they are not commiting the right resources to it. If they would unleash the full might of the US military and drop a few nukes they would get his ass.
They are committing more military.. Operation Mountain Storm is now commencing with troops moving to Afghanistan's southeastern border to find Osama. I don't really see what difference capturing or killing him would make anyway.. other than making him a martyr and giving a slight political boost to Bush. Has it really made any difference that Saddam was captured?

We have a similar realtime map in Chicago that comes in very handy. Click any section of the map and it tells you exactly what's going on. The little circled numbers are travel times. You can watch the whole thing turn red in about 2 hours (4:00 CST).
Actually I think the opposite could happen since the 'next best thing' if the GPL is illegal is for normal copyright law to apply and this would forbids anyone from using or distributing the previously GPL'd materials without express permission.
The court shouldn't care that the author wanted to distribute freely, because it is clear that they were distributing under a restricted license that allows free use only if certain conditions are met and that if those rules aren't followed then free sharing privelege is revoked. This makes it clear that the original authors intent wasn't to just give everything away and completely throw out their copyright rights.
Even if the article hadn't called it 'rugged terrain', the desert is much more complex than just dunes. There's holes, rock outcroppingss, fences, heavy brush, steep inclines, stream beds, etc.. You can get somewhat of an idea by browsing around this Google image search.
Mainsoft has released a short statement which sounds like an admission that the code did indeed come from them.
Statement to the Media Regarding Microsoft Source Code Leak Mainsoft has been a Microsoft partner since 1994, when we first entered a source code licensing agreement with Microsoft. Mainsoft takes Microsoft's and all our customers' security matters seriously, and we recognize the gravity of the situation.
We will cooperate fully with Microsoft and all authorities in their investigation
We are unable to issue any further statement or answer questions until we have more information.

1. Infinium labs gets litigious with HardOCP
2. Hollywood turns litigious tail while music industry lawyers are set to go worldwide
