#89642 - Random what?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
"...that for properly random psuedo random number generators..."

What's a random pseudo random number generator then?

I have never needed a random number generator in any of the stuff I've worked on. I often need pseudo-random numbers though, the repeatibility of the sequence is what makes them useful.

I wonder how many times this topic comes up and sparks the usual debates, when what the OP really wants IS a pseudo-random number generator?
