Ok. The distribution of a single digit is -not- the same as pi itself...

Wrong question, the -right- questions is...
What is -random-?
It means unpredictable, this means unrepeatable. If it repeats then it

A resistor isn't a Boolean gate.
Go back to sleep.
I'm still working on your Chomsky page. I don't think you'll be happy.

I like using radiation on diodes myself. Reverse bias them and then
amplify the noise. Use a Schmitt Trigger. Use one for each bit.

Avalanche noise is just about as good as Johnson / Johnson-Nyquist /

Has anyone noticed genuine spam wrapped in Choatian wrappers?
Perhaps someone who's good at header analysis can comment.
This is the header of a mailing list sales pitch I retrieved from my trash
file (where Choate and MattX go.
I also got some porno spam.
Innovation thy name is spam.

Classic Choatian physics.
Of course you can.
