Actually, in some Konami games they gave it a little twist:
U,U,D,D,L,L,R,R,B,A,START
(The only difference was that the L's and R's didn't alternate).
Whenever we got a new Konami game where the original pattern didn't work, this one usually did. =)
From everything in the article it sounds like this only works right now with embedded Linux. I love Linux, but my PDA doesn't run it--it uses PalmOS (I have a Visor, from Handspring).
I know that QT is a very modular language, and shouldn't depend on any underlying drawing system. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to use QT/embedded as a GUI framework for PalmOS applications?
Actually, there was an entire slashdot article about this yesterday:

I don't know if anyone mentioned this (if they did, it didn't show up on my threshold, anyway;) but if you're interesting in Robotic Snakes (apparently, so of you aren't;) Here is another good site that has some working prototypes independantly developped. http://www.snakerobots.com/ There are some nice MPEG movie shots of the things working, and some nice still images, if that's your thing. They look really nice, but I don't know if I'd send them into space.;)
