The only thing I want to add to this is a link that directly addresses the question, "are the numbers really random?"
http://random.org/analysis/ Which basically states it's impossible to prove randomness. And, the following quote from the Kenny analysis paper: "Random.org passes the NIST test suite; its pass rates and uniformity checks are in line with what NIST considers sufficient to be deemed random. Random.org can now be recognised as passing the industry standard suite of tests." > Regarding te FAQ, I would write that too, if some space agency, secret > service or hospital might held me responsible if my data appeared to be > flawed. >> 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. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
