- Zombieball 13y agoWhoa I didn't catch on to this. Thanks! He truly is incredible.
- tzm 13y agoI think credible is more accurate.
- Natsu 13y agoI seem to remember that he didn't exactly start from zero, but had some idea prior to that and simply learned more about Java. Just sayin', because I think it makes it even better.
- Crito 13y agoHe has a B.S. in mathematics too. I imagine that was useful as well.
- mtgx 13y agoI thought his ruling was extremely well thought out in that case, and yet a Federal Court, which is apparently very patent friendly, has accepted the case on appeal. So I can't wait to see what ridiculous spin they will try to put on Alsup's ruling, if they do indeed side with Oracle. I'm not too worried if they do, because I think the Supreme Court will have more common sense and side with Alsup's ruling.
- kvb 13y agoThe main focus of the Oracle case was copyright, not patents.
