    And I see timothy still hasn't bothered to correct his idiotic headline.

    Timothy's headline:

    "Double-Dynamo Model Predicts 60% Fall In Solar Output In The 2030s"

    Actual headline:

    "Solar activity predicted to fall 60% in 2030s, to 'mini ice age' levels: Sun driven by double dynamo"

    The moderators have no control over the main issue, which is that the /. editors can barely even manage to fix typos in their summaries, let alone gigantic factual errors.

  21. Re:Oracle is GPLd now, then. on SCOTUS Denies Google's Request To Appeal Oracle API Case · · Score: 1

    We're not talking about a "table of contents" here.

    We're taking about copying a spec.

    E.g "add(x,y) returns the sum of x and y"

    Copying the spec results in
    "add(x,y) returns the sum of x and y"

    Implementing the spec results in
    "add(x,y) { return x+y }"

    One is a copy. One is not.

  22. Re:Oracle is GPLd now, then. on SCOTUS Denies Google's Request To Appeal Oracle API Case · · Score: 1

    Adhering to an API is not copying the API.

    Only copying an API (as in copying the text that describes the rules) is copying an API.

  23. Re:Welcome to reality on SCOTUS Denies Google's Request To Appeal Oracle API Case · · Score: 1

    Again, how is adhering to a specification in any way copying anything? It is a specification: a list of rules to follow.

    Now copying the list is copying the spec. But following the rules is not copying the spec.

    An idiot.

    Adhering to a spec is not copying the spec.

    Only actually COPYING the text that defines the spec is copying the spec.
