I don't know how many of you guys use Digg, but today the website has been completely overrun by users revolting because of incident earlier in the day. Basically, the HD-DVD AACS key was cracked and released on the internets. This being a huge story, it was Dugg and it made it to the front page of Digg...until it didn't. Turns out Digg deleted the story and banned the submitter, along with some other people for repeatedly posting the hex key, which was pretty funny in itself. Anyway, Digg is popular because it's entirely user-run - or so people thought until today. So this, along with the realization that the HD-DVD consortium sponsored Revision3 (the folks behind Digg and some other stuff) at one point, has caused a huge revolt on Digg, and every single story on the main page contains the hex key in it somewhere, which is completely fucking hilarious. Or shitty, if you count on Digg for news like most people.
Awesome.
In other news, 802.11N is neat. Thanks to some lightening last night, my old Linksys G router took a shiat. So I went and splurged on some nifty N-tech and I'm currently connected at 270mbps. Hooray for added range and speed!
