  1. Re:Google doing evil again on Google To Seek Dismissal of Suit Against Google Books · · Score: 1
    I'm not sure you're not just trolling, but to quote the GP

    In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2) the nature of the copyrighted work; 3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and 4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

    Emphasis mine. Profit is only one factor and on top of that the page has a bar at the top advertising Google products and links on the left to buy the book, which they probably get a cut of. But nice try.

  2. Re:Dingleberry? Really? on PlayBook Jailbreak Tool Released · · Score: 1

    iPad was a pretty lousy choice, but iTouch isn't too bad on it's own. Now if they made a version designed for children ... Although it might allow them to get greater penetration in the Catholic priest market segment.

  3. Re:QT is fine on QT 5 Will Be Available For Raspberry Pi · · Score: 2

    QML despite being Javascript based is used a replacement for HTML not Javascript. QtScript uses a javascript engine and is Javascript as you know it aside from using QML instead of the DOM. I personally prefer the integration of Webkit as HTML / CSS and Javascript can be used with minimal changes on other platforms and you can do heavy lifting and native functions (like changing output monitor / going full screen) with C++ which integrates nicely with the Javascript. On top of that you can create plugins in Qt so features can be added as extensions nicely.

    Not sure that you're not trolling, but your argument's just silly. We don't tend to operate at peak efficiency such that if you expend more energy in one way it needs to reduce the ability of the rest of your body to function. More energy to warm yourself will cause your metabolism to rise especially since we're talking about getting exercise. This will in fact help the body in various ways including improving immune response.

    You are aware of what country sumo wrestling comes from right?

  6. Re:Isn't Xen dead? on Xen 4.1 Hypervisor Released · · Score: 1

    Oracle is trying to ENTER the x86 virtualization market with Xen in a product called Oracle VM. I've used it, and it's ugly. Besides the PHB marketing tagling of "you can run Oracle on the entire stack!", I've seen no technical reasons to use it over KVM or VMWare in the enterprise.

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. http://www.virtualbox.org/
