I have try to figure this code out using the Chart and i can get a different code by doing that but this still does not make sense.

if you're talking about the c8h10n4o2 code, it is a molecular formula.  You know, o2 is oxygen, h2o is water, etc.

It doesnt 'do' anything. run it through a search engine like google to find out what it is.

It is Caffine.  Programmers stereotypically drink lots of coffee so it is an adopted symbol of hackers/programmers/geeks.  :)

It is a symbol of hacking and programmers, that it really.  Its there for the same reason the manifesto is, ambiance and fun.  It is not a code for anything in the game or on the CD if thats what you are thinking.  :)

C8H10N4O2... what a luvly molecule... makes people beat each other over the head with molecule models :-D  serisouly though, if you've ever had Chemistry in school, you'd know what that molecule was... it's one of the examples that all teachers use for a complex molecule.
