If we can sue auto manufacturers for defective products and workmanship that result in a tragic economic loss and loss of livelihood, then the people/companies can sue the USPTO for dereliction of duty and lack of fudiciary responsibity in handling fraudulent patent claims that result in unnecessary and expensive litigation.
If a district court judge agrees with this then he can effectively order the USPTO to clean up its act or face sanctions or have the status of issued "patents" greatly altered. ("I judge Ronald M White decree that all district 13 patent lawsuits shall be heard in my courtroom." and then declare their own ground rules of patently absurd engagement.)
Since our (United States) congress is so out of control in this realm, the only way to stop this nonsense is with a constitutional amendment declaring explicit copyright terms and terms for revocation.

End organization license agreement
For institutions that are cash poor, these connections in **AA home state are to be sponsored by the **AA. (I am sure they can afford this modest donation for this privelege.)
Any revenues collected from lawsuits are to be forfeited and become property of the Internet2 consortium. This includes holding harmless any "researcher" for "file transfer speed tests" that are carried on the Internet2.
Failure of **AA or its members to abide by hold harmless agreements above shall be in breach of contract.
Breach of this contract by **AA shall result in immediate termination of Internet2 service with no refunds. The **AA agrees to cover all litigation expenses for all users of network up to and including copyright infringement (which is automatically categorized as fair use) and the DMCA (which is automatically categorized as interopability research and thus is automatically exempt.)
Termination of service does not release **AA from financial terms of their contract.
I believe these terms will keep the **AA in check against the legitimate research that happens on this network.
At least this will demonstrate that Internet2 made a good faith effort to accomodate the **AA and their oft-stated goals and balance them against the rest of the other Internet2 members.

At least you can slow/stop/reverse your ascent to look around, determine the nature of the approaching danger, and continue/resume your ascent when the danger has abated (boat or jetski has left.)
If this does work at any reasonable depth, I just hope that the user can still hear ambient noise like a boat or jetski nearby and be able to choose a safe ascent. (Sailboats are a different story.) If not I see a product liability suit with these earphones.
Also, no mention on if it interferes with equalization.

I have worked at Fry's (They deal dirtier than Wal*Mart to their suppliers, employees, and customers.)
I am sure you have seen those advertisements that Fry's puts into your local paper.
Guess who pays for them. (Hint it is not Fry's Electronics, it is the manufacturers that were advertised within the first third of the page.)
In the San Jose and the SoCal area there is at least an 8-page Fry's Electronics "news section" once a week.
--
For the products you see "featured" on the endcaps or other high visibility areas, the manufacturers pay "rent" to Fry's for this "premium real estate" to the tune of US$5K/week/store (this was 1993!)
I have seen some vendors end up PAYING for the privelege of being porked by Fry's at the end of the promotion because the product did not sell on its own merits despite this preferred placement. (The "rent" completely engulfed the $sales expected by this promotion. The Fry's brothers learned this trick from their parent's grocery business.)
--
Also, Fry's is notorious milking their net terms with their suppliers and due to their size can "choose another vendor" if current supplier does not cater to their whims.
--
Their xxx days "same as cash" sales/financing is done by the manufacturer; Fry's gets this as "money in the bank" from the manufacturer when the merchandise leaves the store. On some products the vendor does not get paid until the item is sold.

The correct extended OSI model is

Layer 9 - Political ("The boss wants it, even if it's stupid.)
