Just tried it out and, not liking to be limited by someone elses ideas of what constitues a "safe" result, I turned off Safe Search. Of course, in regular google, this would not pose a problem... you simply don't click on the links you don't believe are particularly savoury.
However, in a9, by default it shows images related to the search. I searched for the term hello. What do you thing I saw? A nice (gaping) thumbnail of goatse.cx.
Everytime I see that pit of despair, I swear that is the last fucking time i'll ever have to see that image, It still manages to pop up.
Strange. They're of the same order though.
Using the units that comes with OS X, I got my original value, but with the units that comes with both RedHat (version 1.80) and the one I subsequently built from source (version 1.78) with fink, I obtained the same result as you.
Must look into this (well, I mustn't but I've got so many other things I should be doing, so why not!)

There is an interesting project called BBBike (Berlin & Brandenburg Bike) which might be relevant.
It is a system designed (initially) to map the streets of Berlin and surrounds, so as to make traversal of the city more easy for bike riders.
It's written in Perl and there is nothing really to tie it to Berlin. The data could be for any city. It has many features, and allows you to automatically plot a course across the city (conditional on whether you want the scenic route, or better road surfaces, etc.) I think it can even integrate GPS data to plot your course in real time.
To avoid the/. effect, maybe it would be a good idea for the/. editors to create a local mirror of the sites they feature, because obviously they can handle the load of all of us lemming clickers.

The DialGizmo is able to convert rotary pulse-signals to touch-tones and there are other converters, too. I've used one for a while on my VOIP line.

... and at over 3 inches thick, this wonderful book also makes an excellent doorstop ;)
