You certainly don't understand the specifics of the caching
functionality Google uses, or the transaction characteristics in the filesystem
they use. However such a lack of understanding does not prevent that
functionality from performing its task(s) within the relevant "Programmed
Computers" if and when conditions may cause the the function to be performed.
But someone at Google had to understand it to program it or it
would not exist. That is why PoIR is arguing: it's not just user understanding,
but programmer understanding as well. If there was no human understanding of it
at all, it would not exist in the first place. The existence of a piece of code
implies that someone programmed it and that this someone understood at least
partially what it did and the symbols it took in and outputted.---

Really.
Why don't you restate point 1 to say something like "Human
understanding excludes people who know anything about
computers."
It would be more concise and support your argument better.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I advise against making up definitions without verifying whether they are
relevant to the argument which is presented. This procedure condemn your comment
to irrelevance.

That "temporary disabled" message has been
there for years. The automated account creation
is most likely going to remain disabled.
Getting an account on Groklaw requires you
to email PJ with a request. Not the most
convenient way, but automatic registration
didn't work out for some reason, probably
because of spambots and sockpuppets.
Activating an account should be a quick and
easy process even if some personal communication
and manual intervention is required.

The law then determines whether the invention that resulted from the human
understanding is patentable subject matter.
If the invention is just human understanding, as with functions declared in a
patent's claims then it does not matter that it took someone skilled in that
particular field of human understanding, it is unpatentable subject matter.
The Supreme Court would say that it is abstract ideas, albeit from someone with
special human understanding skills, and thereby unpatentable subject matter.

"When I say words, they mean exactly what I want them to mean"
Redefining terms to mean different things to the way the author uses them will
never help you.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
