"On March 31 the author of the Rybka program, Vasik Rajlich, and his family moved from Warsaw, Poland to a new appartment in Budapest, Hungary. The next day, in spite of the bustle of moving boxes and setting up phone and Internet connections Vas, kindly agreed to the following interview, which had been planned some months ago."
Isn't that an average of less than a dollar a day per metal detector gate. If only $1 was lost per day at each metal detector gate and there were only 200 airports with an average of only 6 metal detector gates each that would be $1*200*6*365 = $438000. Does the reported amount seem like a very low number?
Are all the detectors operated by TSA or are many operated by others?
Apparently Google is doing this is to comply with COPPA. Is the US congress teaching children to lie and defraud web sites like Google? I am reminded of a quote from the movie "2010: The Year We Make Contact".
"HAL was ordered to lie... by people who find it very easy to lie."
Why doesn't the White House have a nonpartisan independent organization manage the petitions? If the White House manages them, they can cherry pick the petitions they like.
If Comcast's acquisition of NBC/Universal is monopolistic, anticompetitive, or inappropriate for some other reason, why should they be able to "buy" an exemption with this agreement? If there is nothing wrong with the acquisition why should the government extort an agreement from them?
Is this profitable or beneficial to Comcast? If so why are they permitted artificially to discriminate against others?
If it is not profitable is the cost paid by the shareholders or their other customers?
You are reading the wrong submission. The one with the subject
"CMU wins Robot Car Challenge" explains more and avoids the phrase "Urban Challenge" in the subject. Its second sentence is "Autonomous (unmanned) robot cars competed in tasks in an urban setting."
On the one hand, if I wanted to use TorrentSpy but keep my IP address from it, I could use a proxy.
On the other hand, if I wanted someone else's IP address to show in its logs, if it kept logs, I could send TorrentSpy a packet with that person's IP address.

Isn't using N^N photons similar to using N^N salesmen?
The first sentence of the introduction claims TSP is an unsolved problem. TSP is not unsolved.
The third sentence of the introduction claims that NP-complete problems take more than polynomial time. NP-complete problems all have solutions on a non-deterministic Turing machine that can complete within polynomial time. Whether or not they have any solutions on a deterministic Turing machine that can complete within polynomial time is considered to be an unsolved problem.
BMW is also involved in an air powered vehicle. This technology is based on pressure differentials, not combustion. It is a clean process that uses an abundant power source.
In many airports they install moving sidewalks to make it easier for people to move around. Many other buildings have escalators or elevators to assist people. It may make sense to try to extract energy from escalators and elevators when they are moving down.
According to this story in a Boston rail terminal they are considering making it more difficult for people.
As a former examiner maybe you (larryboymi) could let Slashdot interview you with submitted questions about the US Patent Office and the patenting and examining processes.
Here are some sample questions.
What percent of software patents applications are eventually granted?
How many examiners have to approve each patent before it is granted?
If a patent is rejected, modified, and resubmitted, does the same examiner review it?
Do the submitters know who you are?
What are some of the patents that you approved?
What are some that you rejected?
Is there a file or data base of rejected US patent submissions?
Is there a file or data base of submissions rejected by other countries?
Do the examiners search them?
Can the public search them?
Are you allowed to take into account a submitters prior history of questionable submissions?

I have submitted a story. It has a few more details about the race. It does not have the details of the elapsed times or the time corrections.
On the other hand, if I wanted someone else's IP address to show in its logs, if it kept logs, I could send TorrentSpy a packet with that person's IP address.
