Many of the 203 fatal accidents among the thousands of crashes reported to the highway safety administration in the last year were rollovers of the Explorer that occurred after the tires failed . Jon Lech Johansen said code he himself wrote for VLC , a free cross-platform media player , is among the projects that First4Internet has infringed upon . The Explorer is as safe as other SUVs before , during and after a tread separation . Although some technical imperfections remain , Digg effectively takes editorial control away from a few and gives it to many , former Oregon State University Open Source Lab associate director and current CEO of software company JanRain Scott Kveton said . " Despite the progress achieved by our collaborative efforts , this remains an ever-evolving problem . Vehicles are not designed and specified and set up so that they can handle tread separation easily , although you would have to say that even with - - even from Firestone 's own data , 90 percent of the Explorers do not roll over even when there is a catastrophic tread separation . Firestone and Ford had a very long history , and Firestone produced incredibly good tires over a long , long period , and during that period when - - in the early nineties when the sourcing decisions between Firestone and Goodyear were being undertaken by the company , Firestone ranked as the No. 1 quality tire supply . The latest figures from P2P network research specialists Big Champagne show strong increases in use of popular file sharing nets in the U.S. and globally , despite the fact that last month , the record label cartel brought the number of people it 's threatening to sue to almost 7,000 . Among technology companies , this type of situation is very common when dynamic innovations are not correctly translated into marketable messages . But I 'd have to say no , because during the same period , the answer to your direct question - - if you look at the same period , that same year and the year following that - - Goodyear 's percentage of Ford tires , tires used on Ford vehicles , actually went up ; and it went up because during that period we wanted to balance tire sourcing between the companies . Despite a legal attack on individual users accused of unlicensed , illegal downloads and the entertainment groups ' pursuit of P2P companies , the technology has enjoyed strong use and growth among Internet users , according to analysts . " Johansen said code he himself wrote for VLC , a free cross-platform media player , is among the projects that First4Internet has infringed upon . There are about 3 million Goodyear tires that were built to the exact same Ford specifications and were put on Explorers during 1995-1997 ( and as replacements for these vehicles in subsequent years ) . We looked at whether the Explorer behaved differently , compared to peer vehicles , during a tread separation . I am from Akron , Ohio , and although we have n't built a passenger car tire in Akron for 22 years , it remains a center of research and development , production technology , command and control in this global industry for more than a century . Up to that point , even the 1183 , although it sounds like a high number , you know , when you're dealing with millions and millions of tires , it really was n't very evident to us . But in the final analysis , all of the testing and all of the hypotheses does n't really mean anything unless you can correlate it to real-world data , field data .
