  1. Re:Hasn't a crime been commited by Sunbelt? on Spyware Maker Sues Detection Firm · · Score: 1

    (UK writer)

    My preferred course of action:
    apply to the High Court, complaining that the directors of the spyware company are not fit persons to be the directors of a company, since they are allowing the company to behave contrary to the public interest.

    This is neither criminal nor civil, but executive in nature.

    What Larks!

  2. gyro crashes on Carter Copter Breaks Mu-1 Barrier · · Score: 1

    Yeah, there have been a number of gyro crashes, specifically on one make of gyro. A research unit at Glasgow University discovered that this was due to a design fault that caused the aircraft to become unstable in some situations, leading to the dreaded Pilot Induced Oscillation (PIO).

    A retro-fit is now available: the engine angle is adjusted so that the line of force passes through the aircraft's centre of gravity, and an enlarged tailplane is fitted.
