    Whilst attempting to watch a video on CNet, I noticed some "broken out" html, starting with: "> Being a web developer myself, I decided to view the source, to see what was up - There I saw something rather interesting, which is also viewable on the home page (In the src) http://www.cnet.com/ View the source, and look at the 3rd line of text: <!-- Vader loves you --> Is that a discreet hacker, or a bored programmer? You decide :)

          Some sites implement easter eggs that you can see using a well known cheat code (so well that I can't remember it right now :rolleyes:, something like A-A-B-B-Up-Down-Up-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right). And of course, there is a site about these sites. [Just trying to find some links right now, gimme five minutes].

            Got it, it is the Konami Code[^] But easter eggs in the source code... First time I have seen it.

            ~RaGE();

            I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Do not feed the troll ! - Common proverb

              I know facebook still has an Easter egg using the Konami code :D Think you have to hit enter to end finish it. I liked the ESPN one that used to be about [^] Don't know if that is the unicorn Easter egg mentioned at the top though ;)

                  Close... Up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-B-A... Good ol' Capcom code for 99 lives in Contra. Personally, I think IDDQD, IDKFA, and IDSPISPOPD are cooler. It's sad that I remember all of these things... EDIT: Ok, Konami, not Capcom... Whatever :)

                    Oh, didn't see this post... Was it Konami? I always confused them with Capcom... Ok, well, Konami it is.

                          Bah, can't read it at work... By a strange coincidence... Try the Konami code in the Lounge... No graphical delight, but it seems to expand all of the threads at once...
