it'd only take you 10^24 years...

Sounds pretty unsecure to me, if you do that maybe someone's grand grand super grandest gran children could crack it in time?

10^ 24 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
And the Sun has a remaining life of about 5 billion years (5* 10^9). http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/qa_sun.html#sunlife
