It's a really neat conference, but pricey. However, looking through the
registration web
pages, I found this:
I've seen an existance proof which indicates that this is possible.
Back when I was first getting involved with computers (circa 1972),
some digitizer tablets worked by speed-of-sound measurements.
The stylus tip contained a small spark gap which was energized
when the stylus pressed on the

After a bit of searching around, I found another article at the Sunday Times
(not noted for it's fact checking) and a company site. I'll include their

a number of errors
Others have responded as to why this is not so hot an idea.
It sounds like your trying to obtain more entropy than you really
need - I would have thought that the built in hardware RNG in
the newer Intel chips would do the job. Barring that, stick in one
of the various cryptographic coprocessor
