Hmm. Another theory might be that if you run your head into a brick wall
often enough, you'll break through. Sorry, yes, you _probably_ won't
collide very often, depending on your seed and the frequency of inserts.
On the other hand, if you're willing to retry and your inserts wont be
too frequent, why not use currentTimeMillis()? At least then you won't
collide with one of last month's inserts.
Not that i'd do it that way in a production system.
