If this just an exercise in generating a unique number,
then that reminds of me of longstanding discussions
culminating in such things as:

|> INTERNET-DRAFT Rich Salz, Certco

|> ABSTRACT
|>
|> This specification defines the format of UUIDs (Universally Unique
|> IDentifier), also known as GUIDs (Globally Unique IDentifier). A UUID
|> is 128 bits long, and if generated according to the one of the
|> mechanisms in this document, is either guaranteed to be different
|> from all other UUIDs/GUIDs generated until 3400 A.D. or extremely
|> likely to be different (depending on the mechanism chosen). UUIDs
|> were originally used in the Network Computing System (NCS) [1] and
|> later in the Open Software Foundation's (OSF) Distributed Computing
|> Environment [2].
