First Nintendo IQue Reviews

Major Payne writes "I have found two reviews for the exclusively in china released Nintendo IQue Player which is capable of emulating Nintendo64 as well as SNES Games hardwarewise. English one is located over at Dextrose.com and is a bit more technically advanced than the German one. Both reviews are very detailed though and interesting to read. I also think those two are the world first reviews for this new hardware and there is also some interesting leads on how to hack the device to make it even more interesting to the rest of the world."

      When trolls are ignored they step up their attacks, desperately seeking the attention they crave. Their messages become more and more foul, and they post ever more of them. Alternatively, they may protest that their right to free speech is being curtailed -- more on this later.

      The moderator of a message board may not be able to delete a troll's messages right away, but their job is made much harder if they also have to read numerous replies to trolls. They are also forced to decide whether or not to delete posts from well-meaning folks which have the unintended effect of encouraging the troll.

      Some webmasters have to endure conscientious users telling them that they are "acting like dictators" and should never delete a single message. These people may be misinformed: they may have arrived at their opinion about a troll based on the messages they see, never realizing that the webmaster has already deleted his most horrific material. Please remember that a troll does have an alternative if he has something of value to say: there are services on the net that provide messaging systems free of charge. So the troll can set up his own message board, where he can make his own decisions about the kind of content he will tolerate.

      Just how much can we expect of a webmaster when it comes to preserving the principles of free speech? Some trolls find sport in determining what the breaking point is for a particular message board operator. They might post a dozen messages, each of which contains 400 lines of the letter "J". That is a form of expression, to be sure, but would you consider it your duty to play host to such a person?

      Perhaps the most difficult challenge for a webmaster is deciding whether to take steps against a troll that a few people find entertaining. Some trolls do have a creative spark and have chosen to squander it on being disruptive. There is a certain perverse pleasure in watching some of them. Ultimately, though, the webmaster has to decide if the troll actually cares about putting on a good show for the regular participants, or is simply playing to an audience of one -- himself.

  3. Cmdr's Log: My Anus is too Fucking Tight by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    One day Cmdr Taco was maiming his cock with a horseshoe when suddenly Mr. Spock ran up to him and shoved his pointy ear up his butt. "What is this for!" the fag Cmdr said. "FAGS FOR YOU AALL!L!!!" the ancient alien howled as suddenly he farted and Cmdr Taco twirled around in a daze and his foreskin twisted and his kidney stones turned into wooden beads. He pulled out his pistol and shot lasers at his chastity belt and suddenly he hurdled his dick into Cmdr Taco"s bellybutton and it tore his flesh while Spock fucked his stomach. Taco hollered out loud and Mr. Spock threw his shoes to the floor and wrinkled his penis until Taco bellowed out to make it stop. A maelstom of shit whizzed around the ship and suddenly a giant fag appeared out side and the U.S.S. Enterprise went up his butt. "Oh what the hell have you gotten us into NOW!" Cmdr Taco said as he oozed a condom back on his dick and put his panties back on. "OOH!H!!!!!!" Mr. Spock started fucking him again and shoved his phazer up his butt. He dissolved his glands and exploded his turds and finally a queer klingon hurdled through the door and smashed Taco with his butt hairs. A maniac sucked his dick and suddenly Mr. Spock fagged Taco so hard that his intestines burst open and he died.

    In Saddem's day, there was little unrest in Iraq. Today, with Saddem gone, it's holy shit. Does that mean Saddem's way was better? Nope.

    Besides what has the price of games in China have to do with any of this?

    Isn't it just easier to download a nice N64 emulator (Project 64, (Nemu64), same with SNES (ZSnes), and if you know where to search, you can find every game for the systems, not all of them work perfectly, but hey it's emulation.

    I'll accept the OT moderation but how exactly is this flamebait?

    The editors here post stories that then bring down smaller/slower web servers with excessive traffic before the story even has 8 posts.

    Surely the folks that run /. need to take some responsibility for the effect that their referential traffic has on other systems?

    Its not like this isn't a known issue so it continues to bewilder me why something hasn't been done about it.

    And discussing this certainly doesn't seem to me to be "flamebait". This is a problem, a well known problem, and it seems to me to be something worth discussing.

    Certainly the folks that run and read this site have the technical chops to build a caching system.

    The parent wasn't modded down for noting that the link was Slashdotted. He was modded down for implying that Slashdot actively attempts to create DoS's (Denial of Service) crashed on various servers by "slashdotting" them.

    It's like my personal opinion on Gulf War II. There are many legitimate reasons to disagree with it (think there was lack of proof, lack of support, lack of a concerte plan, simply being anti-war, etc.) but there are also the "conspiracy theorists" - people who think Bush is out there "simply to kill non-whites" or he and other rich americans are twiddling their thumbs going "Mwah hah hah!"

    Same thing with the parent (unless he was just trying to be funny/troll). Just because Slashdot-links often cause DoS's, it doesn't mean that there is some "evil-purpose" to it. (and while I'm at it people - just because a company makes it to the Fortune 500, perhaps for being a does not necessarily mean that they are an "evil" corporation. Some are, but many /.ers can't tell the difference between "corporation" and "a number of corrupt execs in a number of companies")

    Well I wasn't intending to imply anything nefarious on the part of the editors here. Not really sure why that is being assumed but I really can't see any other way to describe what happens here as anything other than an *inadvertent* and accidental DoS.

    I'm not trying to say that someone is doing this deliberately but what other term is there to describe a situation where traffic brings down a site?

    But one has to ask, at what point does this continued lack of action in response to a known problem become negligence?

    The editors know this problem exists. Its a pretty common joke on the site. The term has entered common geek parlance.

    Yet nothing appears to have been done to mitigate the potential effect that posting a story on /. *might* have on a site.
