+SiliconID - a better/replacement of UID
+Capablity: Uniqueness, Limited Length along with Sortability
+
+i used to use a function using php to generate randome string,
+intent to use replacement of UID, so i can use this on DOS
+system (max 8 char constrain) 
+
+i needed Uniqueness, Limited Length along with Sortability.
+Options i had
+on dos
+	@echo off
+	set /a num=%random%%%100000000
+	echo %num%
+on linux/bsd
+cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid | cut -c1-8
+date +%s%N | sha256sum | base64 | head -c 8
+
+
+lets re-implement SiliconID maintaining Uniqueness to reduce collisions
+having Limited Length along with Sortability
+
+keeping in mind:
+	1. Custom Epoch is supported by every modern programming Language.
+	2. Can start with 2020
+	3. Timestamp with mili second
+	4. [timestamp (10 digits)] + [random number (5 digits)] = 15-digit decimal
+	5. Encoding 14-digit decimal into Base-62 gives exactly 8 chars
