I've always been amused by these theoretical journeys. How annoyed would you be if you got all the latest kit together set of for a star knowing that your great-great-great-(whatever, you get the gist)-grand children will be the first people to shake hands with an alien (or get zapped by their photon gun) when all of a sudden you get over-taken by some upstart joyrider in the latest spolundigated retrocharged thunder rocket (tm) which hadn't been invented yet. Oh well, you think. They will probably get over taken too.
Its the only journey that you will complete faster by sitting on you **** doing nothing.
The London Cycling Campaign publish a pile of maps for London showing the best way to go for bikes. It would be great if they were in Google maps and Google route searches included them.
It's a big hole in the otherwise brilliant service.

I don't think that there is any serious problem in this case for reasons discussed by many people above; but if your REALLY worried; or happen to work in a place where infection is a genuine possibility, for example the intensive care unit in your local hospital, you might be interested in this work carried out by Intel and the UK's NHS.

PNG does have a reputation for being dangerous. However, it is possible to visit. As a child I used to live in Goroka, although crime was apparent I don't remember it being more of a menace than where I live now, Manchester UK.
Of course, the/. article isn't clear as to whether this is PNG (East side of the island) or Irian Jaya (The Indonesian province). My understanding of Irian Jaya is that it is dangerous, whereas I have every intention of visiting PNG again I would draw the line at Irian Jaya.
As with everywhere; if you want to visit, take precausions and read about it first.
