I have never seen a hex so beautiful as this.

The reaction when Digg deleted a post containing the code was
certainly intense.

You'll probably need some epoxy and some good clamps to fix that
crack.  Or maybe JB-weld.  But if it regularly stands up to a lot of
torque, you'll probably want to get a new one.  DAGS.
And I don't need any new hexes - if I needed a hexagon, I'd probably
set my bandsaw table or miter guage to 30* and cut the piece upside
down to get the 60* angle, since I don't have a miter saw or table
saw.  A shooting board with my low-angle block plane would make it
nice and smooth.
Sorry to hear about your key,
Andy

If I was digg, I'd have put up a content warning then permanently banned 
every account that posted a story deliberately about it.

Any respectable forum should make an account mandatory for posting 
*and* make the applicant wait 24 hours to receive the password. Kind of 
like gun purchase cooling off period (fark.com does this). This helps to 
reduce the number of l33t haxxors/wankers/spammers that just want to 
quickly sign up for a spray job. Digg must have sufficient numbers of 
genuine non warez-fanbois to get by without these freeloading jackoffs 
whose fight is with RIAA/DMCA/whoever but fail to understand digg not 
only has to please its sponsors but also toe the law.
