uuid.getnode returns random numbers

Created by: casperdcl

From the docs:

uuid.getnode = getnode()
    Get the hardware address as a 48-bit positive integer.
    
    The first time this runs, it may launch a separate program, which could
    be quite slow.  If all attempts to obtain the hardware address fail, we
    choose a random 48-bit number with its eighth bit set to 1 as recommended
    in RFC 4122.

So bashhub should check first for uuid.getnode() & 0x10000000000. If this is non-zero then it means uuid.getnode() will be a different randomly generated number each time it is run - not a unique system ID.
