The judge telling both sides what they're allowed into evidence on grounds of scheduling problems just means that too many damn people are suing each other.
Maybe the legal system needs to start hiring more judges? Smells like a case of supply and demand to me!
One case should never forgo evidence simply because other cases are hogging the judge's time.
What's bullshit is that you can't go to the USPTO to invalidate a patent.
For one, they rubber stamp everything and expect the courts to sort it out For two, if you fail on a reexam request, you LOSE DEFENSES in court if later someone sues you for infringement.
Trying to have a patent invalidated by the USPTO is risky, because if they are upheld you then lose defenses if you are later sued for infringing them.
You seem to assume that getting your food spit in is an inevitable consequence of being an ass. There are others, like getting your ass 86'ed from the premesis by the manager.
My mother used to work at a bar, and customers have been 86'ed for misbehaving, two of which were banned permanently. Drinks did not get spit in.
He should have lost by having the state run his ass through the criminal system for perjury for lying under oath, and spend a few years in prison for that.
Just because he deserves to lose does not also mean that the RIAA deserves to win.

You can play nice.
The problems is that they are greedy fucks that won't play nice with you.
Confiscate means that they keep it and throw it away.
When the TSA makes you toss your sharp junk in the bin, they don't give it back.
It's not about safety.
It never was.
This is just hush money from the cellphone cartel
Better yet would be for airline staff to start cracking down on this. Screaming baby that isn't quiet in 5 minutes -> kicked off the plane.
You'd see that problem disappear really fast.
Not directly, but you can farm algae in pools of water and use that to make biodiesel.
Energy is still energy even if you lose parts of it converting from one form to another.
You mean like sunlight?
We literally have more solar input than we know what to do with.
It was both a moon and a space station at the same time.

Read up on schroedinger's cat you doofus.
Then you can have your geek card back.
The key already leaked thanks to the slipshod skills of The Guardian, IIRC.
Valerie Plame was the person hurt most.
Outed as a spook, her career was torched.
Nothing is more un-american than stuff that would make our founding fathers turn in their graves.
The moment the authorities arrested him he was already doomed.
Releasing the cables was vengeance.
Shysters that know better not to bite the hand that feeds them.

Copying an idea protected by a bullshit patent shouldn't be infringement if the patent never should have been issued in the first place.

I still say rounded corners and black borders are too obvious to be granted patents.
I don't give a heap about novelty, they already fail the obviousness test IMHO.
According to the seventh amendment I think you are correct.
Which of you clowns modded this guy down?
The same sort of wise guys that apple's lawyers probably weeded out of the jury during voir dire?
If you're trying to win a case on its own merits you WANT genuises on the jury.

Kinda works that way when the genuises get booted out during voir dire.
False dichotomy.

Just because the guy deserves to lose doesn't mean that the RIAA also deserves to win.
Take the $675k and have it go towards fines by the state for perjury. The RIAA sure as hell doesn't deserve to keep it any more than tanenbaum does.
Not to mention "no fact tried by a jury shall be reexamined other than according to the rules of the common law"
