It now has a convertible D-pad, so it works as either a disc-type or plus sign-type button. The only thing I don't like is that the four buttons are not color coded and a lot of people use them by color instead of by the assigned letter.

  1. The convertible keypad is pretty cool, I really don't know why they would overlook the color buying though. Some games use the colors to indicate the button, so if you are new to xbox you will have to memorize the colors.

On sleep deprivation and Incan Monkey Gods

From: Dilbert comic strip for 08/03/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. I was trying to show this strip to a coworker who is dangerously toying with the harsh mistress that is Insomnia. What shocked me is how quickly I was able to look up the strip, which was published when he was just 11 years old, and two weeks before my just-out-of-college ass shipped out to US Army Basic Training.

The Black Hole

If this was a minigolf hole, you can't reach B from A. Ever. If this was a room lined with mirrors, and you lit a candle at point A, you can't see it from B, not even reflected.  Update: I guess I didn't explain this all the way through. You can't reach B from A with just one stroke, there's no direct line between them, and there is no way to bounce the ball (assuming perfect conditions). Thanks to Ben for pointing this obvious error.
