    The real founder of OpenBSD is named Theo de Raadt, not Theo de Raabt.

    1) There is no way to tell which direction sound is coming from. All the tests with the fake speakers, and people SWEAR there is sound coming out of them... its psycho-acoustics, just no way to tell (unless you are tripping on acid, because thats the only way to SEE SOUND)

    2) 3-D audio, in 360, only requires 2 speakers... any good engineer can make it sound like the audio is coming from right behind you, or above you or whatever
