- To the person who asked about random number generators and deficiencies
- in (random) [I can't write mail to you for some reason]:
-
- You're not doing anything wrong; that's the way the sucker works.
- One good way to get random numbers is to do the syscall that gets
- you the number of seconds since whenever-it-is, and use the mod
- function. This is especially good for getting a random one or zero,
- by using the evenp function.
