Hi, could you have a look at what I found in my man pages: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Talk:Unix_directory_structure ? I think at least one of random or urandom yields ''real'' random numbers as it uses ''environmental noise''. However, the text in my manpage differs to the text of the article in which generator gives real and wich gives pseudo random numbers.

Hi, glad you liked it. Believe it or not (as I mention in the header), a lot of the dialogue ''really happened'', in [[History of the Internet]]. It was that set-to, and the lack of support I got from fellow editors, which was the end for me on Wikipedia. We'll see how CZ turns out - it's small yet, and Wikipedia at this stage was equally nice. It's when it takes off that we'll see if our procedures are, or can be made to be, better. [[User:J.

Still laughing...
You should have seen my face when I saw the edit summary, "pronounced jitters". Before I read it in context, I was picturing a roomful of generals being told that the Army, as well as the Marines, was being made a component of the Navy. :-)
