Davis' Computer is Vegetarian

I recently did a 'w' command on a shell server to see who was online, and my friend's remote hostname came up as: "CPEbadbadbeeeef...".

Now, that hostname belongs to Rogers internet, and they (appear to) use a combination of strings and hex values to denote their customers' address.

I just find this (arbitrary) address funny.

Note: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0xdeadbeef is a funny little bit of trivia
