  1. Re:This was a long time coming. on Polaroid Can't Compete with Digital Cameras · · Score: 2, Funny

    Exactly. This is for the same reasons that Linux has reduced Windows' market share to zilch. The superior technology always wins. Now, off to watch the Matrix on Betamax...

  2. Re:A news? on Samsung Releases GPS Phone · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since many (most?) Slashdot readers are in the US, this seems to be a perfectly appropriate article. Also the first sentence even states that
    "...Samsung today announcing the release of 'America's First GPS Phone.'"

    It's not like anyone's trying to pretend this is some totally new tech that's never been seen. It's just new to us.

  3. Re:Opened the flood gate on Samsung Releases GPS Phone · · Score: 1

    If I'm not mistaken I believe it's the position locator, not the phone itself, that turns on. Also, this is only in the rare case of an emergency call.

    From the text: "This option is automatically turned ON when an emergency call is placed."

  4. Re:how is -$600k break even? on Red Hat Breaks Even, Beats Street Estimate · · Score: 3

    There are about 166 million shares of Red Hat. -600K / 166M = $.0036. Thus, Red Hat lost about 3/10 of a cent per share. Earnings per share are not expressed in fractions of a cent, so it's rounded to $0.00, which is break even.

  5. Ick on Poe Puzzle Patiently Pondered · · Score: 3

    someone did have a log of time on there hands.

    And that's why we always wash our hands after...

  6. My hopes on Final Fantasy: The Movie · · Score: 1

    If we're lucky this will be just like Titan AE, except with a different plot and good.

  7. Re:Is there a proposal to enforce the TLD's use? on New TLDs Proposed To ICANN · · Score: 1

    Sure, there's a few ways that I see. - Bots could check the .kids domain for any "keywords" that may signal inappropriate content. These could then be checked out by real live people. - Parents (or anyone else) could report these to a .kids content commitee. They would be able to levy large fines if a .kids site has adult content. - Theses pr0n sites won't have any reason to invade .kids since kids won't provide any revenue (no credit cards) and parents will go ape. Plus, it's just wrong.

  8. Trilogy of Trilogies on Your Holiday Present Wish List · · Score: 1

    Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, and yes...Star Wars (4-6). I think this gift might fit best into the unlimited category since the studios aren't moving too rapidly.
