[Labs-l] Down to the millisecond

[Huji Lee]

Do we store any information in the MW tables down to the millisecond? I
want to generate some pseudorandom numbers and I want to use the rightmost
digit of a timestamp for that reason but I want to make sure it is not
feasible to game the system, so timestamps that are only down to the second
are not going to cut it.

Other ideas about how to generate pseudorandom numbers using MW data are
welcome.

PS: I wish we had a rand parse function.
