GOTD

Bergholt Stuttley Johnson

what a waste of a guid, you are aware that we are running out of them? and here you are wasting the few we have left, you should be ashamed

You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

So it's unintelligible to all but the OP. Fairly typical.

If you post a GOTD here every day, I mustn't have to use a Guid-Generator. That would be great. :thumbsup:

We have an OTD for everything, why not GUID?

Shouldn't it be enough if they're globally unique? (Unless of course, we learn about aliens who use them)

It is not unique. It has a high probability of not already being used somewhere.

Quite. A thought it was a good joke, although I see you have been reported for it. Reporting is replacing downvoting more and more, and very rarely is what gets reported either abuse or spam.

And the probability of having one would be about 50% if every person on earth owns 600 million GUIDs. :rolleyes:

I think you may be missing a few factors in your equation. i.e. some GUIDs are somewhat more ubiquitous than others.

Certainly. But that's a probability, which is always calculated based on some assumptions. And that figure was taken from Wikipedia - Globally unique identifier[^]. :)

I read an actual discussion about this very thing elsewhere, believe it or not, which is what prompted my reply. Not guaranteed unique is always true both GUIDs and UUIDs BTW, though the chances of generating the same two IDs are vanishingly small for truly random sets. The UUID I supplied, is the same as the OP, meaning neither my nor his UID are unique, negating them as either Universally or Globally unique IDs.
