What makes me angry reading this is not so much the "equals" as the part about the hashcode. Oh, thanks, go break everything.

They've painted themselves into a corner because a Timestamp really wants to be, not a subclass of Date, but an object containing a Date, but that's not very efficient to do in Java.
