I think i'd feel a little more sorry for Microsoft if it weren't using software patents to fight Android.

I sooo agree with this. Microsoft seems bipolar in its attitude towards patents. I understand why they are happy to sue into markets they aren't dominate, and then be upset at being sued in markets where they are. But they are so enthusiastic at both ends..

I am extremely satisfied with the ruling in this respect. Companies that use silly patents deserve to have silly patents used against them.

I agree it could have consequences. But that's a different (and possibly more important) discussion.

That's a lawyers job. Londo Milari from Babylon 5. The perfect lawyer.

Peter Jurasik did a great job with that fun character. He and Andreas Katsulas had such amazing chemistry.

G'Kar is, by far, my favorite TV sci-fi character and the fact that Mollari was able to stand his own in such a huge shadow is a testament to Mr Jurasik.

Yea, he was amazing. Too bad he doesn't get more big roles.
