Hi Mark,
After reading a few of the site's FAQs, I can see that "they" have a
very high degree of confidence in the "randomness" they are
producing; however, as with all things in life, even "they" leave the
door open for the, what they consider to be remote possibility, that
even what they produce is not truly random. Proving one way or
another is just too much for anyone. Thanks for your own thoughts.

Hi Joe,
The inability for computers to generate true random numbers is
exactly why Random.org exists. The random numbers provided by that
server are not generated by a computer but by mother nature. So,
yes, Random.org is "really", _really_ and *really* random!
Best regards,

Thanks, Bill.
Quite interesting; and, certainly, worth investigating in depth by
any who wish to use "random" numbers in their work. Probably still
not "really" random; but, using such huge sets from which to draw,
probably as close as we'll ever get.
