0xBEEFCACE! 0xBEEFCACE!

I found a new Hex Oddity this week while I was browsing through the MSDN documentation for the System.Resources.ResourceManager class: Apparently Microsoft is using 0xBEEFCACE as magic number for their resource files.

Up until now, the only other strange magic number I came across was 0xCAFEBABE, which is used as the first 4 bytes in Java .class files.

Nice! Very nice! I have absolutely no idea what it's about, but since it kinda says beefcake, I felt obligated to reply! :)
