   Well, if you consider the timestamp as being in the order of millisecond   
   accuracy with a random number appended, then I guess that works for me. :D

   LOL, makes it tricky.  Apparently, the latest atomic clocks are so precise that   
   keeping them in synk is going to be near impossible, due to General Relativity   
   being very significant at the femtosecond level in normal situations, such as   
   different altitudes on the ground! :-)
