Or maybe other civilizations are smart enough to know not to unleash an aggressive hegemonizing swarm on the galaxy! This is the galactic equivalent of the grey goo scenario.
This [is] an article about how the [Allies were] able to estimate the number of German Tanks produced based on the Serial Numbers of the Tanks. Neat!. Godwin does not apply.

"In Japan, the swastika is called manji. Since the Middle Ages, it has been used as a coat of arms by various Japanese families. On Japanese maps, a swastika (left-facing and horizontal) is used to mark the location of a Buddhist temple. The right-facing manji is often referred to as the gyaku manji (, lit. 'reverse manji'), and can also be called kagi jji (literally 'hook cross')."
Depends on your relativistic tau factor. Close to the speed of light, the more you accelerate, the higher you drive Tau, which is the ratio between your time rate and that of your observer.
It's the BBC's fault. Right now http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science_and_environment/ shows on the right-hand side a list of the 5 most popular news stories, and #1 is this article from 2004. This appeared in this list a while before the slashdot article. (a day before?). When I followed the link originally, I was puzzled by the old-style layout, but didn't notice the 2004 date.
And BBC messed up with the original article because technically it's a white dwarf, degenerate matter, and not an actual pure diamond as we would think of diamonds.

Er. More like wiping out almost all electronic devices. This is not something that is easy to recover from.
Only if you're starting from one or a thousand. If your serials are nonconsecutive and are always huge numbers e.g.
45011962000782
(450119 = date, 62 = factory, 00078 is the serial [incremented by a random integer 1 = i = 9], 2 = check digit [sum(otherdigits) mod 10])
then the MD5's will effectively be white noise.
Ok so kS+k will not actually collide. But it's still very easy to decipher.
You would get collisions, is why. Very dumb idea.

This sounds incredibly sensible.

I think you will find that malicious damage is rather well covered under the law.

"Deleted by poster". Damn annoying. But then again this is the wrong thread.
Piracy and global warming are directly correlated! So, with more piracy, we'll finally see the global warming trend reverse!

Sort of. You are referring to 'gyaku manji', or the reversed one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
