Whats the best way to make a completely random, unique code in the format "ABCD-1234"
where each of the 8 characters can be alphanumerc; 0-9,A-Z... I thought about generating a 36^4
number, converting to to base '36', and repeating the process. What's a good way to
ensure the code is not repeated, though?
