Now that we all recovered from the excesses we had when we heard that sanity and justice had prevailed, and that APIs were not copyrightable, I have some questions for you legal minds

  • We have not seen the damage numbers for the 9 test files and the rangeCheck method. IIRC, they're for the judge to determine, right? when will we see them
  • When does the clock start ticking for appeals? when does it finish ticking (meaning that if it finishes ticking at time t, we can expect BSF to file it at t-1 minute)
  • Can Google appeal to the judge's overruling the jury on the test files?
  • The question of willfulness on the copying of the rangecheck and 9 test files also up to the judge, right?
  • We saw at the SCO trial that the winner should also appeal everything that didn't go their way. Does this mean that we should start seeing appeals by Google, on all the parts where the judge seemed to bend backwards to help Oracle?

The BBC Caught with its Pants Down, Big Time

We've always respected the BBC for its impartiality and accuracy of reporting, which is above question. So here's another gem from the beloved Beeb.

Folly: The Facebook Open Source Library
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, June 03 2012 @ 10:53 AM EDT
Facebook is built on open source from top to bottom, and could not exist without it. As engineers here, we use, contribute to, and release a lot of open source software, including pieces of our core infrastructure such as HipHop and Thrift.

But in our C++ services code, one clear bottleneck to releasing more work has been that any open sourced project needed to break dependencies on unreleased internal library code.

To help solve that problem, today we open sourced an initial release of Folly, a collection of reusable C++ library artifacts developed and used at Facebook.

Non-UEFI computers?
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, June 03 2012 @ 03:55 PM EDT
Basically, what are my options for avoiding UEFI on new machines?

Will my non-UEFI machine suddenly become a hot black-market item?

Will anyone make non-UEFI machines? Will governments ban the manufacture of
non-UEFI machines?

Can I wipe Windows off my hard drive and go with just, say, Linux or FreeBSD?

Will Zareason, System 76, and other Linux computer sellers also be subject to
this new Microsoft tax? (You know Verisign will send some of that $99 under the
table to Microsoft -- perhaps half?)

Will Red Hat's business interests become antithetical to free software, kinda
like Open Suse and other sellouts? Does Red Hat pay any license fees to
Microsoft? Didn't Stallman already warn us about corporate interests?

The likelihood anyone will challenge this on anti-trust grounds is roughly the
same as anyone arguing in court that software patents per se should be
invalidated. I'm not waiting up nights.
