Yes, 1c and 2c pieces are still Australian legal tender, but they are not considered as 'currency' (or, money that is officially released for circulation). This means that you can take your old 1c and 2c coins to the bank and exchange them for currency totalling the same face value.
National Geographic had an article in November 2004 discussing many of the good points you have raised. Was Darwin Wrong?
Short answer: No.
Choice quote: That's what scientists mean when they talk about a theory: not a dreamy and unreliable speculation, but an explanatory statement that fits the evidence.
Ring tone: "Overworld" theme (Super Mario Bros.)
Text tone: The "beeper" noise (GTA3)
Past favorites include "Go Straight" (Streets Of Rage 2) and "Central Park" (Last Ninja 2).
Old video game themes were written for sound chips with limited range, so they make great polyphonic ring tones. Now if I could only find a phone with a SID chip =)

For the last 10 years I've named my primary PC "The Spruce Moose".
Me: Girlfriend, I've built a new PC. I call it "The Spruce Moose", and it will carry two hundred terabytes of MP3s from its disk to the iPod in seventeen minutes! GF: That's quite a nice model, babe. Me: Model?
Ape: Help, the human's about to escape. Troy: Get your paws off me, you dirty ape. Apes:[gasping] He can talk! Apes:[in unison, rythmed]
He can talk
He can talk

Another cross-platform arcade stick. As a new platform is released, they produce a new adapter, so you can extend the life of the stick.

Ah the simple beauty of the haiku...
buffer overflow
you let me conquer the world
from my mum's basement
B1FF longs for a world
where "pH3@R |\/|y l33t h4x0r 5k1llz"
picks up the hot chicks
while you watch your kids
play soccer in the hot sun
