That's putting it a little mildly. If it's really all truly random, then if you tried random collisions a million times per picosecond you would (probably) need of the order of ten trillion years to have a good chance of finding one... $ echo ' scale=2; 2^128 / 10^6 / 10^12 / 86400 / 365 / 10^12 ' | bc 10.79 I think it's safe to say that it's not going to happen by chance. If it's truly random. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
