Sure, but "25 machine cluster which would reverse your hash in about 12 minutes -- regardless of your password features." is clearly wrong as GPU's are not that much faster and the article is talking about 25 GPU's.

You're right, that should read "25 machine cluster which would reverse your hash in about 12 minutes -- assuming similar password features"
