It's been reported that he's done programming before. I had very high hopes based on that and the extensive research he did in preparing for this ruling. He asked for several rounds of briefings and spent a considerable amount of time reaching this decision.
So in a sense it's not that astonishing: he worked really hard to arrive at the correct answer. I'm just glad they got such a capable judge.
- gruseom 14y agoIt's been reported that he's done programming before. Of course; that's the astonishing part. This was more than a capable judge - this was a capable judge with deep intuition for the domain. You don't get that by cramming from scratch. For once, we software people got a lucky break in the courts. If only this guy could be set on a patent troll case.
