[Interest] Unique - Hardware bound - ID

[Alex Malyushytskyy]

 UUIDs is not unique for hardware/system, so I doubt QUuid  will help.

Such things are normally resolved using MAC address on any system, which is
unique for every network adapter,
But there always may be a system which does not have network adapter, have
a few network adapters or does not let you to obtain MAC address unless you
are  a root (Linux)

I do not think Qt support this, but if not counting some complications
listed above, native for system code you will have to right is easy.

Regards,
Alex
