After XenForo win's this a lot of damage has still been done, nothing can replace all the time KAM has lost.

I'm reminded of a Dutch proverb: A cornered cat will make weird jumps.
Cornered much, IB?
The most laughable is the bottom part.
Versioning
Data Access Layer
Data Model
Design Patterns
Coding Conventions
Individual Lines of Code
I do remember them dark days, where everyone was just randomly updating one another's code. Every program used a single file, where variables were all named with meaningless names, and database connections were made randomly, and functions, classes and just about everything was named by a random name generator.
I still wake up screaming in the night sometimes recalling how I was debugging:
Then, IB came and showed us all the light. We suddenly moved on from coding with clubs while clad in bearskins to neatly suited geekboys with keyboards. Thank you, IB from saving us all from Sabertooth coding. We now write the above much better:
Your honour, note how the new way uses a different number of characters and lines and therefore clearly must have been copied!
IB invented versioning, data access layer, data modelling, design patterns and coding conventions about as much as Al Gore invented the freeaking Internet (but he DID make up global warming!).
All that's needed to have Ib laughed out of the courtroom for even bringing it up is a copy of "Code Complete" they can be whacked on the head with. I'd mention "C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie, but "Code Complete" is heavier and thus will inflict more damage.

Bingo. There are several books out there that us software developers have used to discuss proper application design patterns and such. Gang of Four, anyone??

PMSL! I think something must have got lost in translation there!.

HA! And when it's all filled in, you can print it out and send it to the judge. Excellent!

Actually, no. The Dutch proverb is:
Een kat in het nauw maakt rare sprongen.
Literally:
A cornered cat will make weird jumps.
Perhaps weird should read unexpected. It basically means that if you try and corner a cat, it will try and get out in any possible way, typically by jumping. It is typically used to describe that when people (or companies) are pressured, they could fall back on some moves you did not take into account.

Most of us do that. I know I do, mostly subconsciously.

Please tell me sprongen is dutch for jumps!! lol I love the English language sometimes when words translate into similar english words - sprongen looks like spring..
Anyway, my cat doesn't jump when it gets cornered, it comes out claws first
but that's probably for another thread!

Sprongen indeed means jumps. Springen = to jump. Spring = Jump.

That's only 50% correct.
Correct is: springen = to jump. spring = Jump (written in lowercase)

Most courts make you order transcripts from a reporting service. Common practice is to fill out an order form, listing the court, docket number, date of hearing and then you pay the service to retrieve and transcribe the recording of the hearing. I have no idea what the local court rules are in this case.
