If you would like to be more informed about true-random number
generation. I have a few pages about this technique on my website,

Get back to us when you get that perpetual-motion gizmo working.

This is just spam you're responding to,

Gosh, I hadn't realized. Thank God there are smart people like you to
help
me through this baffling maze they call Usenet.

but TRNGs are not at all mythical or crackpotty...

Did I say they were?

Yeah, pretty much.

Hell, I had true random number generation in the early 70s, on an RCA/Univac
Spectra/7.

A time sharing machine, it let you get both your CPU usage time to 1/10000
of a second (as I (mis)remember it) and 'actual' clock time to the same
fraction of a second.

I stripped the least significant digit of each call to the time function.
With some n calls between strips, a double randomization.

The time sharing aspect meant that the clock time was truly random.

I tested my results about 300 times as extensively as the IBM 1000000 random
digits were tested and never found the remotest hint (with tests over half a
million digits each) that there was a relationship between the randoms.

Even in the middle of the night - with so few users on lin - the results
were right, what with all the batch jobs and system services running, but I
used my max inter-strip calls just to be sure.
