Nokia's Cellular GBA - The N-Gage

An anonymous reader writes "Hold on to your Game Boys, folks! It appears that the Finland cell phone manufacturer, Nokia, will be throwing in its lot in the handheld gaming industry with its N-Gage. Not only is this critter capable of playing games, but other noticeable features include a cell phone, radio, and MP3 player. Game companies such as Sega, Taito, and Eidos have already expressed support for it."

  1. About the Troll Library by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    In my development of the Troll Library and the Troll Library Technology, I have received many questions and concerns in reference to the Troll Library and its use on $lashdot. The intention of this post is to "clear the air" of the misunderstandings and incorrect assumptions which have been posited about the Troll Library.

    What is the Troll Library?

    The Troll Library is a database of the best and brightest trolls of $lashdot history. The database is SQL 2000 and is managed by Microsoft C# using .NET technology.

    How can the Troll Library be accessed?

    The Troll Library is not yet available online, but it will eventually be made publicly available in the form of a .NET web service-- That means that you will be able to browse the library and submit your additions with your web browser (yes, even an inferior piece of shit like Mozilla, since Microsoft for some reason chose to include "down-level" compatibility with their web services in .NET).

    What's the ultimate goal of the Troll Library?

    To crapflood $lashdot into oblivion using Microsoft technologies.

    What does the $lashdot community think about this?

    Using Microsoft .NET to annihilate $lashdot really pisses off the $lashdot community, which is hilarous.

    Do you sit around and read $lashdot all day?

    Of course not. The client troll poster bot automatically detects a new story on $lashdot, selects a post from the Troll Library database, and submits it to $lashdot. The client is written purely in C# using Windows Forms in .NET. It would be impossible for $lashdot server to detect the presence of the bot, except for the "Dirty Linux Users:Are Hippies" header.

    What if they crack down?

    If the 'editors' (I use the term loosely) were to ban the RoboTroll or Troll Library posts, the posting client would have to become open source and avialable to everyone. The irony and humor is very rich indeed.

    How can I help?

    The single biggest need is a .NET server with the bandwidth capable of being $lashdotted. Please make your plans and prepare accordingly; when the time comes, we want you to be ready. What you will receive is nothing more than a .ZIP file to unzip to your inetpub\wwwroot folder.

    If you are running Apache or some other open source derivative piece of shit, I can only laugh at your sad ability to serve up plain ol' HTML. You sad and pathetic, and I fear for your future career-- or lack thereof. HAHAH!!!

    Thanks!!

    No - Thank you, the honorable and noble Trolls of $lashdot, we all know that WE are the lifeblood of $lashdot itself, and it would wither and die without US .

  3. Really Important News about Microsoft!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Read this. I cant believe this! I am switching to a GNU operating system today!

    There are folders on your computer that Microsoft has tried hard to keep secret. Within these folders you will find two major things: Microsoft Internet Explorer has not been clearing your browsing history after you have instructed it to do so, and Microsoft's Outlook Express has not been deleting your e-mail correspondence after you've erased them from your Deleted Items bin. (This also includes all incoming and outgoing file attachments.) And believe me, that's not even the half of it.

    I've read some stupid fucking books in my life time.

    I wish I was playing Zelda or Tetris than reading those pieces of shit.

    Which would you rather do? Read the Book of Mormon or play some Bomberman?
