Sorry for this not being a ‘real’ question, but Sometime back i remember seeing a post here about randomizing a randomizer randomly to generate truly random numbers, not just pseudo random. I dont see it if i search for it.
Does anybody know about that article?
I believe that was on thedailywtf.com – ie. not something that you want to do.
It is not possible to get a truly random number from pseudorandom numbers, no matter how many times you call randomize().
You can get ‘true’ random numbers from special hardware. You could also collect entropy from mouse movements and things like that.
