If I understand the math at all (and it is quite possible I don't!), the odds against the above producing a duplicated ID at any one choice are something like: 0.000000000000000000054 Which, when compared with your odds of being hit by falling space debris: 0.0000000000000166 Or getting struck by lightning: 0.000001763 Or that you would be one of those caught up in the recent tsunami: 0.000008333 Seem pretty good odds to me. Examine what is said, not who speaks.
Silence betokens consent.
Love the truth but pardon error.
