Oracle and Google Settlement Talks Falter; Trial Set for April 16

Posted by Unknown on from the let-the-games-begin dept.

Fluffeh writes "Recently, a Judge ordered Oracle and Google to have yet another sit down and chat, but these talks have come to an impasse: 'Despite their diligent efforts and those of their able counsel, the parties have reached an irreconcilable impasse in their settlement discussions,' Judge Paul Grewal of US District Court for the Northern California wrote Monday. 'No further conferences shall be convened. The parties should instead direct their entire attention to the preparation of their trial presentations. Good luck.'"

    I'd be mad as hell if I was on that jury for weeks or months and got some stipend like $50 day, parking tickets not included.

    Jurors are paid an attendance fee of $40.00 per day. Regardless of means of travel, jurors also receive round-trip mileage from their home to the courthouse at the rate currently authorized by the Internal Revenue Service. The court validates juror parking at specific parking lots near the courthouse and reimburses bridge tolls when applicable.

    Your post makes nearly no sense, and I'm convinced it got modded up simply because you tossed in a reference to Microsoft. Also, where did I mention Microsoft to begin with?

    Hey, you mentioned Microsoft just now, and YOU got modded up too! Does that always work?

    Um, Microsoft... sucks or something.
