I have a fundamental hate with abstraction level-leaky software.

I know Tannie's current en0 hardware address is 00:0A:95:69:4B:1A.

You all know that mine is 00:03:93:de:fd:20.  Why?  It's not like we're 
on the same network frame and have a NEED to know this.  Because the 
actual number of my card's address (not a hash) is used to create the 
Message-ID for all e-mail addresses of all Mail.app users on my 
machine.

Oh well, at least en0's hwaddr can be changed from the command line.  
It _could_ be the unchangeable unique ID number embedded into my 
Pentium III chip[0], but that's hardware hate.
