Update On The Jon Johansen Trial

nordicfrost writes "The trial against Jon Johansen goes on. Today, John Hoy of the DVD CCA was examined by phone by the defense and the prosecutor in Oslo. We have set up a page to follow the main events in the trial here, in English. The documentation of evidence, and the fact that Hoy didn't answer the phone when the court called, delayed the trial so the final proceedings may not be finished before Monday afternoon." Update: 12/12 23:50 GMT by T : This wasn't really a Science story ...

Re:Somebody fill me in?

[Anonymous Coward]

Please fill me in too. I have severe disabilities which prevent me from clicking on any links appearing in a /. story. These same disabilities also prevent me from searching for past stories on this subject.

You may also remember me from a meeting at work -- I was the one who asked you to repeat what the group had just talked about, because my disabilities prevented me from paying attention the first time.

I work in marketing.

Yup. Should be on your nearest P2P network by the end of the week. Due to the marvel of 0-day war3z, we'll know what the verdict is before Johansen does.

Hmmm.... A VB Programmer......Now I'm conflicted! A Vote for Free Information is also a vote for VB.......Maybe the prosecution should pull this one off this time............although I do love my Ogle so I feel bad saying that......

Hoy didn't answer the phone...

Come on folks, virtually everybody in Scandinavia can read and write English, who the heck did that translation? It reads like it was translated from the original Japanese into English by a unilingual Cantonese speaker then translated into Norwegian by a drunken Scotsmen, only to be translated back into English by a committee of patent attorneys.

"I tend to disagree with that comment--"
You get the comment a lot, then?

"because with all the anti-american sentiment that floats around here that most people are foreigners(Canadians included)"

Oh, the prejudiced foreigners. I'm sure everyone is suitably sorry to have tread on your mighty country.

"You go anywhere and people speak English because we are big tourists."

No, they speak English because the tourists don't speak any other languages.

"The US is not in proximity with other countries so we do not have the necessity or luck of having to learn another langauge."

French. Spanish. Hawaiian.

"--bordered next to each other--Easy to learn another langauge."

Unfortunately agains common beliefs, being in motion doesn't make you learn faster.

" 45% of the US speaks spanish I beleive."

No, it's 95%. Of the latino group.

"Italian women are all Harry"

I don't even want to go there.

I've got an excerpt from the court reporter:

"When did this happen?"
"You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now is happening now.
"What hapepned to then?"
"We passed then."
"When?"
"Just now. We're at now now."
"Go back to then!"
"When?"
"Now!"
"Now?"
"Now!"
"I can't!"
"Why?"
"We missed it."
"When?"
"Just now."
"When will then be now?"
"Soon."

It looks like you've discovered the "technology" behind Babelfish.
