The first section is the time-based section and if I remember a quote from Robin (possibly?) a while back the chance of being non-unique from that section alone is 1 in 16 million if two requests occur on the same machine in the same 1 millisecond of the clock's ticks.
That was actually an algorithm I wrote for a guy who needed a 16 character uuid for some reason or other - the original post:

A full 35 character UUID has even less chance of a duplicate.
Despite all this, I still feel a strange sense of loss when I throw away uuids I generate during testing - must have been permanently scarred by all those episodes of the Wombles I watched when I was younger...
