The cracking rate of 1 trillion passwords per second in the last column is definitely science fiction, but it can be accomplished in 10-15 years by using hundreds of supercomputers for distributed password cracking
That reminds me in a research project going on here, in one part of the program one of the programmers used BubbleSort (which has Complexity Order of N^2) and the sorting algorithm had been running for 1 hr. There were about 17 million files to be sorted and he didnt think about BIG O (also it is easiest to write bubblesort in short time), i guess in real life we never worry about order that much. After coming back looked at the code and calculated that in this rate it would take 30 yrs for it to be sorted :lol:
