Rumours are that some DF developers have com ported their spine (if you 
where curious why the serial console was enabled on boot, thats why).
This has the obvious advantage that they can support there body with 
fluids and food while doing fast programming.
If you wonderd why they seam to manange to do high quality/volume 
coding, supporting users and debug at the same time, this is the reason.

Sometimes however they fall asleep out of exhaustion while there still 
plugged in.
This results in more unusual type of code ,it has been told to me that 
ACPI was created that way, but I'm sure you can find other examples.
