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! :-)
