They PM.

I don't have a Floyd to rise. 

not all Floyd Roses are equal - the original Floyd is good; also the Ibanez Edge Pro; and the Kahler system. Licensed Floyds vary wildly in quality though. Set-up properly, they are rock-solid. 
Locking tuners, well-cut nut and a good quality trem (such as how PRS and EBMM do it) can be pretty good too.

He just can't help it!

This helped me a lot when I used a tremolo back in the day:  http://www.guitarcenter.c...-108263583-i1172819.gc

...by any other name is just a knock-off.
 

fixed.

I have two Ibanez guitars with the original Floyd Rose Edge (89' 550, 90' 560). My favorite trems of all time! If everything is set up right, they are rock solid...

 
I went with an original Floyd Rose for this custom (which I hope Bo - aka Space Cowboy - is enjoying now).  It's great, but what a huge chunk of metal!  I think I'm going with a Kahler on the next one (that's still being built - lol, it will be "vintage" by the time I actually get it I think!).
