Actual dialog is:
SCOTUS: DOJ, do you really want to give Oracle the power to control the world through over-reaching copyright?

The judge took the time to learn how to program Java as part of his research, and crafted a well-reasoned and documented response.
Without Canadian humour writers, Americans are stuck repeating stale jokes over and over again...

Sings? Yessir - both Country AND Western! Ahhhhh... you mean signs!
