Alice in Bark Bytes Land --the full story

Moments of tail waggin' clarity in the Alice v. CLS oral hearings are found for example at 2:32/1:00:13 where Kennedy J. begins his hypothetical on the 2nd year engineer programming "the" computer as an over the weekend homework project. Here is my "idea". Make it so.

Bryer's "King Tut" dance is at 3:23/1:00:00 where abacus man stops the whole thing when more gold given away than total in account. --You see the point? (Don't dare say no.)

"Apply it" through the computer per Bryer's Tut-n'-stop example at at 5:12/1:00:00

Scalia "cotton gin" sarcasm at 6:56/1:00:00 --it too can be done instead by hand

Kennedy's Scene II Take 1 in A Coffee Shop Somewhere in Silicon Valley kicks back in at 9:55/1:00:00
