Removing 404 link which is uneeded anyway. Reworded a bit too.
Helps close bug #14732

Many random number generators of older libcs have dubious or
unknown characteristics and are slow. By default, PHP uses the
libc random number generator with the <function>rand</function>
- function. <function>mt_rand</function> function is a drop-in

replacement for this. It uses a random number generator with
- known characteristics, the Mersenne Twister, which will produce
- random numbers that should be suitable for seeding some kinds
- of cryptography (see the home pages for details) and is four
