ConPollo rated 4 weeks ago- If Rand() is not random enough for your tastes you may get a "truly" random number generated for free from this site. The numbers are truly random as they are generated from atmospheric noise which is continuously changing. Most random numbers generate a number based off of an algorithm which is then usually seeded with your computers clock. So although they seem random then are in fact predictable (if you know the algorithm).

- From the page: "RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding draws, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has been operating since 1998" **Interesting as hell. Let me check** **The footnote-"The numbers are generated left to right, i.e., across columns." made me chuckle**

- The home page pretty much sums up everything. How random numbers (or psuedo-random numbers) work in computers is there's a fixed list of numbers in a random order. To increase randomness, what most applications did was they used a time based way to select numbers. Not quite as random since if two programs ran at exactly the same time, they would get the same results. According to this site, it's not random enough for lotteries and other simulations such as dice rolling. Random.org uses mathematical algorithm to generate random numbers that are indeed quite random.
