Just loaded digg.com in my browser and saw a bunch of codes , so I wondered , was digg pwned , was digg hacked or something ? Actually this is a sign of protest from digg users . The story goes something like this . Kevin Rose deleted a submitted digg with a HD-DVD story so that's why digg users started to act on this , a lot of top diggs have a bunch of codes such as this:
09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0
(click the image to enlarge it)
Now digg is Out of Service
As stated later by Kevin Rose here at:

We had to decide whether to remove stories containing a single code based on a cease and desist declaration. We had to make a call, and in our desire to avoid a scenario where Digg would be interrupted or shut down, we decided to comply and remove the stories with the code.

So as stated above , will digg really go down for having HD-DVD codes posted ? At least I am happy to see those protest diggs were allowed and now we have a change of attitude in this matter .
We should support freedom of speech .
If you are a digg user then support the cause , also reply here and leave a message .
