Digital computers do 1s and 0s.
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, May 11 2013 @ 05:20 AM EDT

Just a minor little technical niggle, but it would probably confuse the legislators even more:

What they don't understand yet, but we'll keep explaining until they do, is that all computers are like that. None of them do anything but 1s and 0s...
That is true of all [modern] digital computers. If you consider the first "computer" designed by Charles Babbage, his difference engine designed to replace the fallible human "computers", along with its proposed successor the Analytical Engine (a general purpose computer), they worked with the ten digits 0-9.

Going further, considering Alan Turing's Turing Machine computers can manipulate any alphabet of symbols, not just 1 and 0. Digital, with its use of multiple binary digits to encode data, has become so engrained, that things like Babbage's Engine, where each "store" can be in 10 different states, not just 2, have been forgotten/ignored.

Decision text disappeared from the article
Authored by: achurch on Sunday, May 12 2013 @ 03:52 AM EDT

PJ, it looks like your last update accidentally removed most of the decision text. For me, the article ends with:

CHARLES W. SHIFLEY, Banner & Witcoff, LTD., of Chicago, Illinois, for amicus curiae The Intellectual Property Law Associati

Here's a working link to the day's crop of three unanimous Supreme Court decisions, leading off with the Monsanto victory.
