    Again, the judge here wants a credible methodology, not the patented numerical rectal extraction technique that Oracle uses for that.

    From TFA:

    After seeing these filings I can't help but note the irony (and hubris) of a company choosing to name itself Oracle when it seems to be incapable of "giving wise or authoritative decisions or opinions."

    As this is Slashdot, and the party being sued is Google, I think the only possible acceptable valuation is negative. Oracle must pay Google a "happiness tax" because Google existing is the best thing to happen to nerds ever.

    Out of curiosity, do you even know anything about the patents? I know most Slashdotters take a superficial view of everything they don't understand, declare it obvious, then masturbate all over themselves in comments here, so I assume that's what you're doing, but I may be wrong.
