			<title>Coding Judge says RangeCheck is not patentable</title>
			<link>http://www.crazyontap.com/topic.php?TopicId=169713&amp;Posts=22</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<strong>Idiot: </strong>This is really interesting. Oracle is suing Google over their&nbsp; Java implementation. As you may know, every claim by Oracle has been dismantled except one. There is a function called RangeCheck that checks an index to see if it is outside of an array range from 0 to n-1. I'm sure you can imagine what this function looks like. As it turns out, the specific function was WRITTEN BY A GOOGLE EMPLOYEE and made open source, and his code was later used by Oracle. Oracle now claims the code is their alone and Google's having it verbatim is a copyright infringement. The court isn't even dealing with that angle but rather is looking at whether a 3 line RangeCheck function itself is such a unique creative expression that it is copyrightable.<br /><br />It turns out that during the trial the judge bought himself a book on Java programming, read it, started writing Java programs.<br /><br />He basically bitch slaps the Oracle lawyers when he drops this on them and tells them he has written RangeCheck himself a dozen times now and doesn't see how it can be written any differently.<br /><br /><a href="https://plus.google.com/110412141990454266397/posts/fk5VXPpiQZR">https://plus.google.com/110412141990454266397/posts/fk5VXPpiQZR</a>]]></description>

			<title>Facebook as ad distribution medium</title>
			<link>http://www.crazyontap.com/topic.php?TopicId=169707&amp;Posts=10</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<strong>Idiot: </strong>Facebook's business model is mostly based on selling highly targeted ads that take advantage of their system's unique ability to serve ads only to New Yorkers who are Italian, now live in New Orleans, and like espresso and artisanal salami.<br /><br />GM pulled their ad campaign earlier this week, noting that there were little results from it and the money was not a good ad investment.<br /><br />NPR profiles a local restaurant that experimented with targeted advertising, fine tuned it until they got clicks and&nbsp; likes and fans, but found it still didn't translate into any new customers. The best they got was a $10 paypal donation from a sympathetic netizen.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/05/16/152736597/pizza-delicious-bought-an-ad-on-facebook-howd-they-do">http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/05/16/152736597/pizza-delicious-bought-an-ad-on-facebook-howd-they-do</a><br /><br />It sounds like Facebook is in the same position of Groupon a few months ago, where the businesses who have tried their service are finding it ineffective. Since this is their customer base and income base, this does not bode well for a sustainable business model given that the facebook accounts are free to ad targets, and cost a considerable amount to support.]]></description>

			<title>Paul still in it</title>

			<description><![CDATA[<strong>Paulist: </strong>To: Supporters, Interested Parties<br />From: jesse.benton@ronpaul2012.com, Chief Strategist<br />Date: May 15, 2012<br />Re: Paul Campaign Convention Strategy<br />Every day, I see firsthand how humbled and encouraged Dr. Paul is to have the enthusiastic support of so many who are committed to revitalizing our country.<br />Let me be very clear. Dr. Paul is NOT dropping out or suspending his campaign.<br />As Dr. Paul has previously stated, he is in this race all the way to the Republican National Convention in Tampa this August.<br />And he is deeply grateful for every resource he has been entrusted with to run an historic campaign that continues to defy all expectations.<br />Looking ahead, our campaign must honor that trust by maximizing our resources to ensure the greatest possible impact at the National Convention.<br />So while our campaign is no longer investing in the remaining primary states, we will continue to run strong programs at District and State Conventions to win more delegates and alternate delegates to the National Convention.<br />To this end, our campaign has several positive and realistic goals:<br />1) Having recently WON Maine, we believe we can win several more states.<br />2) We will win party leadership positions at both the state and national levels.<br />3) We will continue to grow our already substantial total of delegates.<br />We will head to Tampa with a solid group of delegates. Several hundred will be bound to Dr. Paul, and several hundred more, although bound to Governor Romney or other candidates, will be Ron Paul supporters.<br />Unfortunately, barring something very unforeseen, our delegate total will not be strong enough to win the nomination. Governor Romney is now within 200 delegates of securing the party&rsquo;s nod. However, our delegates can still make a major impact at the National Convention and beyond.<br />All delegates will be able to vote on party rules and allow us to shape the process for future liberty candidates.<br />We are in an excellent position to make sure the Republican Party adds solid liberty issues to the GOP Platform, which our delegates will be directly positioned to approve. Our campaign is presently working to get several items up for consideration, including monetary policy reform, prohibitions on indefinite detention, and Internet freedom.<br />Finally, by sending a large, respectful, and professional delegation to Tampa, we will show the party and the country that not only is our movement growing and here to stay, but that the future belongs to us.<br />Dr. Paul will begin this new phase of the campaign this Friday by speaking and holding several events at the Minnesota State Convention. He has also recently accepted an invitation to speak at the Texas Convention, and we are busy scheduling appearances around other State Conventions later this month and into June.<br />As Dr. Paul stated in his message yesterday, this fight is NOT over. We will continue fighting and expanding, and &ldquo;we will not stop until we have restored what once made America the greatest country in human history.&rdquo;<br />But for Dr. Paul&rsquo;s efforts in the remaining State Conventions to be successful, and to ensure we get as many Ron Paul delegates to Tampa as we can, he needs you to continue standing with him.<br />Along those lines, as you probably already know, the grassroots are holding a Money Bomb on Thursday, May 17. Any money raised from that Money Bomb will go toward winning delegates and finalizing our plans for Tampa.<br />As those plans for the National Convention come together, we will make sure all of our delegates, whether bound or unbound, get the information and aid they need.<br />Your support on May 17 will also help us reach more Americans with the solutions we know can restore our nation. Each person we add to our cause strengthens our movement for the critical work that awaits us beyond Tampa.<br />Dr. Paul, John Tate, myself, and the entire campaign staff know what incredible sacrifices have been made by each of our supporters.<br />Thank you for all of your hard work and your dedication to liberty. Together, we will champion Ron Paul and his message in Tampa, and we will lay the groundwork for future victories.]]></description>

			<title>The Connection Game</title>
			<link>http://www.crazyontap.com/topic.php?TopicId=169524&amp;Posts=3</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<strong>Attila: </strong>So how would the connection game play in 1209 AD?<br /><br />I live in a village of 200 men in the mud-plains at the mouth of the river Ems on the Frisian Coast.<br /><br />A rich noble farmer has given the church with a lot of land in the village to a newly to build cloister, which will be run by his nephew as the new abbot.<br /><br />This nephew has studied in Paris, Orleans, and, as first foreign student, in Oxford, and is currently school-master in the little, but currently already 1800 year old village of Westeremden.<br /><br />When the family of the rich uncle disputes the heritage of the cloister, and finds legal support with the Bishop of M&uuml;nster, the abbot walks to Rome with his college friend, to get legal support from the Curia.<br /><br />In Florence he borrows money from a Florentine trader, to influence his court case, and when the trader is robbed by soldiers of the Emperor, who has a conflict with the Pope at that moment, he has enough money to do the return journey comfortable by ship from Basel to Cologne.<br /><br />Some years later the Count of Holland is elected German Emperor. He declares a crusade against Aachen, which attracts an army of Frisians who will siege that city. Our abbot is present for the peace negotiations with the city.<br /><br />Meanwhile, a personal friend of our abbot has been on a crusade to the Levant, on a Frisian ship that starts out from Frisia, joins a fleet of 200 ships from Holland and Frisia at the English coast, they proceed to Portugal where they siege and sack several Muslim cities &quot;who were more beautiful&quot; than the friend had ever seen in his life. From there the sailed to the Italian coast near Rome where they spend the winter as guests from the local population, after which they sailed to Acre.<br /><br />During the next crusade, the cloister would finance a fully equipped warship for poor Christian soldiers who could not provide their own expedition.<br /><br />In his chronicles, our abbot is very much interested in the political events in the Middle East, and he records the invasion of the Mongols in Bagdad, next to the report of the local war between 10 villages 30 km away.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<strong>Idiot: </strong>Friends, Ron Paul's campaign has ended.<br /><br />It's important to spread the word to all your Romney supporting friends that there is no need for them to attend or vote in the remaining state caucuses as there is nothing to be done. Save your valuable time for more important things in the Romney campaign. Do not waste any time on anything other than focusing on the fall election. Paul is out and you should not be thinking about him at all anymore. Just stay home and rest and relax, you have earned it for all your hard work.]]></description>

			<title>A Beautiful Brain</title>
			<link>http://www.crazyontap.com/topic.php?TopicId=169346&amp;Posts=18</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<strong>Fan boy: </strong>Today I went to the radiation lab to have an MRI taken of my brain. It was a weird, wonderful experience.<br /><br />I asked the radiologist if anyone had fallen asleep during an MRI scan. She said a few had. She said most people can't sleep with all the banging ang popping going on. I am one of the few. After about 30 of the 45 minutes, I snoozed a bit. I only know it because I had been holding my mouth with my teeth closed, and I awoke with about a 1/4 inch gap between them.<br /><br />I was surprised at all the sounds and tones that machine makes. Some were kind of fun to listen to.<br /><br />My son-in-law said I should ask for pictures so I could prove I have a brain. If you don't ask, you get nothing. I got a fun CD with a specialized viewer. There are all kinds of interactive pictures. If you get an MRI, be sure to ask for the pictures.<br /><br />There are some interesting asymmetric structures in my brain. The right ventricle is significantly larger than the left. I suppose that is where the guile is missing.<br /><br />I'd be proud if my brain isn't normal. Who wants to be normal?]]></description>

			<title>Why this four-year old child HAD to be patted-down by TSA agents</title>
			<link>http://www.crazyontap.com/topic.php?TopicId=169153&amp;Posts=13</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<strong>Quant: </strong>You've all heard the story, right? Now, shouldn't a serious debate include giving the US officials a chance to explain themselves? I'm sure they can provide us with an intelligent, reasoned explanation.<br /><br />Of course they can. Here it goes:<br /><br />&quot;TSA has long had a security procedure where if somebody has contact with a person who is undergoing additional screening, they must also undergo additional screening. Why you might ask? You&rsquo;ve probably heard the old saying that the hand can be faster than eye? Well&hellip; that&rsquo;s the reasoning behind this procedure. There&rsquo;s always the chance that a prohibited item could be traded off during contact. I&rsquo;m sure you&rsquo;ve watched the scene play out in more than one movie where two people collide or shake hands and an item is traded off? Same thing&hellip;&quot;<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.tsa.gov/2012/04/four-year-old-child-not-accused-of.html">http://blog.tsa.gov/2012/04/four-year-old-child-not-accused-of.html</a><br /><br />Read the whole blog, it's full of such treasures.]]></description>
