the only way to possibly even find the SHA-1 encryptor for the zune's firmware would be to use about 50 medium to high end computers in a distributed computing network and that would still take years. It would take around the vicinity of 590,295,810,358,705,651,712 computational instructions OR MORE in order to find the SHA-1 key / encryptor they are using in order to permit for open source alternative firmwares in a zune. Even at 1 TeraFLOPS of computing power, it would take over 6,832 days of nonstop computing at it to get to the tootsie-roll center of that tootsie pop.
