  Does it require the presence of a network card?  A popular
"unique-machine ID" method is to use a network card's MAC address and hash
something based on it.  Of course one can change a MAC address if they
know what they're doing (and don't try to actually use it on a
network), heh heh heh...

  It is in the same league as a typical Sun's nvram machine serial number.
