  5. Re:Counterpoint. on Huge Parachute Saves Crashing Planes · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sure they will. The FAA only cares that the plane can pass it's rigorous inspections. Actually the FAA has eased up quite up bit on safety and inpection requirements over the last decade or so. Believe it or not they want private/personal pilots to be able to afford to fly. For instance you can now do major engine and structural work yourself. Unlike commercial aviation where safety at all costs is the rule, private aviation allows for personal responsibility for such matters. Despite being much more dangerous than commercial aviation, private plane crashes are rare. Pilots generally respect nature, thier planes and thier abilities.

    Frankly this is might be a good product but it can in no way make a plane crash proof. Things like major structural failure, crashing in an object (mountain or building), or landing takeoff crashes will render it useless.

    By the way it really time for Microsoft to revise their installer to connect to the internet and download. XP supposedly does this when you do an update from within an existing version of windows, it actually doesn't seem to update much. Most major linux distro have incorporated an update utility during installation. Suse YAST really inpresses me.

  15. Nat/router on How To Avoid Viruses At Windows Install Time? · · Score: 1

    No computer should be directly connected to a cable or dsl modem. A 40 dollar router can do an amazing job at blocking the majority of worms. Port forwarding only the needed services or servers will give any user anything he needs. Anyway if you get hit by one of the worms that forces continual reboots, either end process trees or tell which-ever service that is crashing not to reboot on failure. Usually it is the LSASS service that is failing.

    PanIP Settles All Litigation With The "You May Be Next" Defendants

    San Diego, CA March 24, 2004. PanIP, LLC is pleased to announce that as of March 19, 2004, it has settled all outstanding litigation with the members of the "PanIP Group Defense Fund, Inc.," the originators of the You May Be Next website. PanIP released those defendants from liability by issuing them covenants not to sue under a confidential settlement agreement. Currently, PanIP has no outstanding litigation in relation to its United States Patent Portfolio.

    In the fall of 2002, PanIP filed suit against 40 individual defendants in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California in San Diego, California, alleging that those defendants were infringing claims in U.S. Patents Nos. 6,289,319 B1 and 5,576,951. Shortly after PanIP initiated suit, a group of sixteen defendants formed the "PanIP Group Defense Fund" in an effort to defeat the patents. Their efforts, like those of another group defense fund formed in 2002, were fruitless. Since 2002, when PanIP began enforcing its intellectual property rights, all parties that have been sued for patent infringement have settled with PanIP and the cases have been dismissed.

    PanIP, LLC is a technology development company that holds a number of United States and Canadian high-impact patents. Several additional patent applications are pending.

    For more information about PanIP, LLC, please visit www.panip.com

    Some interesting stuff, Currently, PanIP has no outstanding litigation in relation to its United States Patent Portfolio. This makes me think the other 24 suits have been dropped. Their efforts, like those of another group defense fund formed in 2002, were fruitless. Seems like they where fruitful in getting you to drop your suits. Perhaps more judges theatening to force companies to pay the legal bills of defendents in questionable patent lawsuits may prevent these things in the future.
