It's the classic Konami code. It works in most old Konami games.Also, it'sUp, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left Right, B, A, Select, Startor just Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left Right, B, A, Startfor 1 player.Is it sad that I know this without having any games to which the code applies?

What does Ubuntu have to do with this? It doesn't work on other OSes? Are we going to have "Editing a file on Ubuntu" next?

OK, this time I'm going to show you how to double-click in UBUNUNUNUTU. First, find an item you would like to double-click. This is any item in a folder or on your desktop. It can include documents, programs, documents, music, images, or documents. To double click, drag your mouse along the desk until the pointer on your screen is over the item you want to double click. Now, this is the hard part. Click on the object once, then click it once again. Make sure you do this rapidly enough! If you did this properly, your document/program/whatever should now be opening! HOORAY!

While the MAME project is for the arcade stuff, you also have the MESS project where you'll find your console stuff (its basically the sister project of MAME if you didn't know).It's a pity MESS isn't overly stellar in being nice for me, but still its freaking amazing to have all the possibilities sitting there as to what games I can play again with it...<a class="user" href="http://www.mess.org/sysinfo.html">http://www.mess.org/sysinfo.html</a>

Don't dog Ubuntu because it's making Linux accessible to the masses of casual users brought up on DOS and Windows. Putting a good front-end on APT out of the box (so to speak) is a feature long overdue. Installing software on Linux has always been a pain in the ass and some of us don't have several days of hair-pulling thanks to missing or circular dependencies before we can use a piece of software. God Bless Ubuntu.
