Cover Songs are Awesome

I just listened to a cover of the Holy Diver song by Dio, an old metal band. Performed by the new metal band Killswitch Engage.. awesome!

Fun fact via Wikipedia:

The now four-member band took the name of “Killswitch Engage,” a name proposed by D’Antonio after watching an episode of the FOX program The X-Files entitled “Kill Switch”. The episode’s writer, William Gibson, came up with the title after a chance meeting with the industrial band Kill Switch…Klick; the bands are otherwise unrelated.

Only on a Friday can I combine William Gibson, heavy metal, X-Files, and an mp3 into a blog post.

From Wikipedia

09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 is an HD-DVD decryption key that was leaked on April 30, 2007. The source of the leak is unclear. It is of interest to cryptographic researchers, as it can be used to play a protected HD-DVD movie in Linux, bypassing the normal DRM. The key will also allow for programs analagous to DeCSS for DVDs.

In a cease and desist order from the Advanced Access Content System Licensing Administrator addressed to Google Inc, the letter humorously included the code in question. [1]
