Oops. I left out the calculation of the row length and the number of rows
required. I will work on it. :(

If you allow for the minimal area to show 1.67m dots, that would be a square
approx 1300 dots on each side, or about 4.3" along each side at 300 dpi.
At 96 dpi (about the pitch of a computer monitor), that equates to a widescreen
monitor of approx 16.5" x 11"[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If you have a 1920x1080 HD display, and cover one fifth of it, a single pixel
represents the nine lines, and the rest of the display the fifteen million
lines.
It is literally just an insignificant speck.

A 300 dpi laser printer can place a little over 10 million pixels on a
letter-size page.
Nine lines out of 15 million is the same ratio as six pixels out of 10 million.
A six-pixel blot on a printed document page would be impossible to find. A
six-pixel blot on a blank page would be almost as difficult to find; it would be
just barely visible to the naked eye if one knew exactly where to look.
The smallest feature you could hope to find on a printed page would be, perhaps,
the dot over a lower-case "i" or "j".
The dot over the lower-case "i" in a Times New Roman font at 10 points
requires about 12 of the .003" by .003" pixels.
So you could visualize the significance of nine lines out of 15 million as the
dot over one lower-case "i" or "j" missing from a two-page
printed document.

if lines of code were miles,
approximately 62 times greater than the distance between the earth and the moon,
versus almost 1/3rd of a marathon[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Sure, but how do you visualize the 2,600 times
that it's allegedly called after button-press?

The always accurate web claims Shakespeare wrote 884,647 words.
So 1 in 1.67 million is not even the "To" in "To be, or not to
be".
But it does nearly fit to a "T".[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

One question...I thought fair use was determined by the
percentage borrowed from the original work. The original
file was over 3600 lines, from which 9 lines were used, am
I correct? If arrays.java was a five and a half minute
song, that same ratio (9:3600) would equate to less than 1
second of music. If I borrowed that fraction of a second
in my original song, I don't think anyone would disagree
that it would represent fair use. Why is code different?
If the judge overruled the jury's conclusion on the
decompiled files, why didn't he address the famous "9
lines"? That's a more glaring mistake than the decompiled
files to me.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
