Yeah, RangeCheck is utter beginner level stuff. Definitely not worth $billions
like Oracle wants it to be. Take a cheap, underpaid junior programmer or intern
at ~$20/hour ($40k/year) and claim that it takes them a full hour to write
(which is *laughable*) and it's worth maybe $20. Even if you say it was written
by someone at really expensive lawyer rates, what does that get you? Not even
$1000?
So yeah, I have respect for the judge here learning to code. If he's not
already sick of the experts, maybe he should read this?

And here everyone thought he was using a computer to take notes as he sat there
behind the bench.
Or maybe it was his version of Rachel King's drinking game - Every time a lawyer
says "Correct, sir?" write another version of rangeCheck in Java.

If the Judge admitted writing the copyrighted code a 100 times, does that now
make him liable for infringement as well. Shouldn't he be forced to excuse
himself, or at least give a great opportunity for appeal?
Since the code is so obvious, and functional, and has been generated 100 times
just by one person, and thousands of times by other programmers, then how can
Oracle now own exclusive rights for the code.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The judge says he has written a fair amount of code, but not in Java, which he
has been learning for / during this trial
A math major graduating in 1967 with a profession not requiring tech savvy --
what languages is he likely to have used?

I was impressed before, butJudge: ... I couldn't have told you the
first thing about Java before this problem. I have done, and still do, a
significant amount of programming in other languages. I've written blocks of
code like rangeCheck a hundred times before. I could do it, you could do
it. now I'm -very- impressed.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
