OK, so nobody cares. Anyway, the BugCollector is down, what is a poor guy to do to get the fix in?
Of course, if it is a very stupid thing to do, I would really like to know. :^)
Well, I like the idea personally, but let me play devil's advocate here for a minute. Suppose there are platforms where those extra couple of digits are not valid. Suppose further that the common paradigm of using str(int(DateTime())) as a "unique id" is employed. Now suppose you move that code from a Unix platform to some platform that doesn't supply the extra digits. Suddenly your code that used to provide uniqueness down to a fairly tight hit interval is much more fragile. Is this a real concern? I don't really think so. But it's the only objection I can think of <grin>. --RDM
