JavaScript alternative of PHP uniqid()
function uniqid (prefix, more_entropy) {
// + original by: Kevin van Zonneveld (http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net)
// + revised by: Kankrelune (http://www.webfaktory.info/)
// % note 1: Uses an internal counter (in php_js global) to avoid collision
// * example 1: uniqid();
// * returns 1: 'a30285b160c14'
// * example 2: uniqid('foo');
// * returns 2: 'fooa30285b1cd361'
// * example 3: uniqid('bar', true);
// * returns 3: 'bara20285b23dfd1.31879087'
