That!
Today big companies & interest groups are bending the laws so much that the common sense is almost totally lost.

Groklaw - Apple v Samsung Foreman Gets More Things Wrong ~pj

This is in the believe it or not category, but the foreman in the Apple v Samsung trial is *still* talking about the verdict and why the jurors did what they did. And the more he talks, the worse it gets for that verdict.

I would quote, but the article is very small so it's probably better to just give a quick look.

Did MPEG4 exist in 2001 ?

Oh, yes.
The LG iPAD probably never went to sale, or maybe just in Korea, but that demo was real.

Blast from the past:

LinuxDevices.com - LG demonstrates wireless Linux Web pad at CeBIT
By Rick Lehrbaum 2001-03-23
The iPad is powered by a 206Mhz Intel SA-1110 system-on-chip processor and an in-built 64 SDRAM module. It offers some expandability with a slot for Flash memory cards and PCMCIA cards. To operate the devices, users are given a stylus and the pad provides handwriting recognition for both English and Korean.

How dare you, Apple! :P

That jury foreman also hold a patent for something like a TiVo. Obtained after the TiVo & similar thing was already in existance, obviously. :facepalm:
And the reasoning he used to discard all the prior art presented and "move on faster" is really preposterous.

Especially when, as also written in the Jury instructions, damages are not supposed to punish, but only to compensate for losses.

That strange thing is that all the discussions will end up arguing on this kind of details, only to go around the giant absurdity of the current american patent law.

I recommend a look at this, from the notable pj of Groklaw:

Jury in Apple v. Samsung Goofed, Damages Reduced -- Uh Oh. What's Wrong With this Picture?

Come on. This is farce.

This has to be the best summary for the current situation!  ;D

General Software Discussion / Robust code - On Curiosity and its software
« on: August 13, 2012, 07:07 AM »
An interesting post linked on OS news:

JLOUIS Ramblings - Getting 2.5 Megalines of code to behave

I cannot help but speculate on how the software on the Curiosity rover has been constructed. We know that most of the code is written in C and that it comprises 2.5 Megalines of code, roughly[1]. One may wonder why it is possible to write such a complex system and have it work. This is the Erlang programmers view.

The RT version does also make little sense to me, now, because the first Android smartphones with x86 CPUs already surfaced, and proved to be decent from a performance / battery life point of view. So what's the point of Windows on a different architecture, at this point?

I was expecting some sort of silly / stupid me-too copycat thing, instead the Surface thing really surprised me.
The x86 version and the touch cover seems very interesting.

I have a friend who had a bad HDD crash a couple of years back and handed it to some professional data recovery guys. He swears that the amount of data recovered was much more than the actual capacity of the hard disk.
-nosh (January 18, 2009, 11:59 PM)

I think there may be various possibiles reasons. For example, when recovering JPEG photo/images, it's possible to get larger files than the originals, or even more files than before, because overlapping sections of differents images can endup joined, depending on how they are layout on the disk, what strategy is used to detect starting and end positions, etc.
Probably the same can happens with many other file formats too.

But it's only a guess, of course.

General Software Discussion / Re: FORTRAN - All your problems will be solved.
« on: May 19, 2012, 06:47 PM »
I seem to recall one of the recent world championships in mental arithmetic was won by a ten year old Indian girl who, while doing some extraordinarily complex calculations in her head was simultaneously wiggling her fingers in front of her. When asked, she said that she was using an imaginary abacus to keep track of her calculations.

Probably not this, but something like this:
