I believe Lutz flies a L-39, which are actualy Czech not Russian. Pretty neat little planes, I've seen a couple give demos before. Much, much slower than a Hornet.

Most of the time the factory can't do a better job. Most stock ECUs can only handle a little increase in air flow, if you start adding intack and exhaust mods the computer can't fully compensate. Also, the factory ECU is setup to handle the fact that every engine that comes out of the factory will be a little different. If you can get a little dyno time (shouldn't need more than $300 worth if you have a decent base to start from) you can tune the ECU to the engine you have with the mods you have.
However, why should there be a law to enforce this? The only people a rider without a helmet hurts is himself -- as anyone who has ever been smacked in the face by a bug at 70mph will tell you.
The best excuse I've heard yet is for insurance reasons. Apparently it's not an option to just deny a claim where a rider didn't have a helmet when they didn't buy a 'non-helmet' rider. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the this issue yet.
Just because I say 'Yay for WIPO, they made the right decision on this case' doesn't mean that I am an avid supporter of WIPO. It just means that they are taking a step in the right direction.
Most likely this was a mistake but we can all hope can't we?
The guy is the cube across from me is blind and uses JAWS. He knows the keyboard shortcuts to do most the the windows manipultion, switch windows, expand menus etc. When he switches to a new window it says the window title, then starts reading the text in the window.

I'm sure there are plenty of us still around.

Its the law. Very strict regulations on how patient data can be sent.
