    SubjectRe: [patch] PIII/Katmai & FXSAVE support, disable serial-#, 2.2.2
     # Uhm ... big deal. Don't all SPARC and UltraSPARC CPU's have serial numbers
    # that can be read? I mean I get this from a sysinfo command on a Solaris
    # box:

    Not only that, but I've heard from the naysayers that the concept of
    having ANY unique ID in your computer is bad. The first thing I thought of
    was MAC addresses. All those cable modem/ADSL users already have a method
    of identifying themselves given the right software (no, not arp).

    Also, don't BIOSs carry ID stamps, too?


    G'day!
