Comment Re: Just because they submitted a standard doesn't (Score 1) 211

Alternatively, unless the standard already in place is not extendable or horribly broken, instead of making up their own shit behind closed doors, why couldn't they have approached the community, and got involved.

"Hey, we have some ideas we'd like to try out and would like to help extend the standard, here are our ideas:" ... inclusion as opposed to blind exclusion.

After Android Trial, Google Demands $4M From Oracle 119

MikeatWired writes "Google is seeking $4 million from Oracle to cover the costs it incurred during this spring's epic legal battle over the Android mobile operating system, reports Caleb Garling. In a brief filed in federal court on Thursday night, Google lead counsel Robert Van Nest argued that Oracle is required to pay his company's legal costs because judge and jury ruled in favor of Google on almost every issue during the six-week trial. 'Google prevailed on a substantial part of the litigation,' read Google's brief. '[Oracle] recovered none of the relief it sought in this litigation. Accordingly, Google is the prevailing party and is entitled to recover costs.' Google has not publicly revealed an itemized list of its expenses, but the total bill included $2.9 million spent copying and organizing documents. According to the brief, the company juggled a mind-boggled 97 million documents during the case."

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Slight bias indeed.

The man page to Moose is a good one too.

If you're in to web dev, the Definitive Guide to Catalyst is a good choice, too.

Unfortunately, I have to write this with a caveat: getting Catalyst and Moose set up can take some time. If you apt-get install/emerge/yum/whatever it, you'll probably get an old version.

If you install it from CPAN, it takes some time, since the two of them combine to require a craptonne of CPAN.

That said, once they're installed, a working catalyst web app you can hack on is as simple as catalyst.pl AppName; cd AppName;scripts/appname_server.pl

I love how the *AA are intentionally putting themselves out of business.

There can be no other reason.

Music sales are up, movies are still grossing record revenues, Netflix is successful, etc. They keep trying to tell us piracy is bad.

No, piracy offers me a better product. No revoked keys, no work involved in playing my content, I can put it where I want, use it how I want, etc.i

Fucking idiots.
